I am still enjoying the ongoing plot. I was really sad about the little girl dying and to be honest once again I actually wish that Aiden, Meryn and the that whole gang would just kick the shit out of the vampire royal families and call it a solar day. I am sick of the vampires existence close minded, racists, backstabbing pos and I want Meryn'due south gang to clean house. Fuck the founding families, I am so sick of their shit and I need for them to get what's coming to them and actually before long. But sayin'!

She arrives with her grandmother and discovers her mate, Grant, a wolf shifter. Inconvenient timing as she has sick kids to cure and I liked that the mate matter was sidelined in favor of her doing her task and helping the kids. I'd have hated if they went all "must claim you at present" nonsense.

All the previous characters appear once more, just thankfully in a reasonable way and Meryn doesn't take over the volume like she did in the previous installment. I enjoyed seeing Kendrick once again and the deluded male antics Aidan's unit of measurement got up to.

The characters and plot were much meliorate in this and I like that it'south not simply ended, this will have up the next book as well. I recollect this is a better done villain or evil equally they take very little to keep equally to suspects and how it was done.

Next book is looking like it'll be Etain'south. Where's Keelan's book?

Of course we had the usual humorous, steamy, loving, and suspense moments Alanea hooked us on, I but wish that the subplot was a bit more resolved in this i. And then beware, because although the books portray unlike couples, there's always a back story that connects them all. I just thought this ane had a bigger cliffy on that are than the rest, hence the half star decrease. Don't go me wrong tho, the WHOLE series is more than than worth information technology, so simply read the all 8 books so far. I promise y'all won't regret it! <3

Treatment is limited as the healers don't accept the noesis or skills to bargain with this new crisis which is why Prince Magnus needs to recruit someone able to effigy out what's really going on.

Dr Eleanor Kimball, pediatrician, is done with being stereotyped. As an elephant shifter she may have a few extra curves but that doesn't mean her medical or research skills are lacking in any way. As a renowned clinical practitioner her latest enquiry has life changing potential for children once completed. The problem is her employers desire to turn her enquiry over to someone who improve identifies with their corporate paradigm. The offer to relocate and do at Noctem Falls is only what the physician ordered.

Grant Douglas knows he'southward a monster. Why else would his family kick him out. Making a new life in Noctem Falls he's content until he starts to dream near his future mate though it always ends the same. When that same mate arrives, the clock starts ticking for him to solve the meaning backside his nightmares before it becomes a reality.

Everyone has their favorite writer. This author happens to exist ane of my top 3. I don't say that lightly because there are a lot of talented authors who bring me endless hours, days, weeks, years of happiness still I'm at my happiest when I get to catch i of Ms. Alder'south.

As I've said in other reviews for this serial, each installment builds off previous works so not a skillful thought to think you tin can read this as an independent stand lone. The recurring cast of characters brand information technology all but incommunicable to appreciate the overall story line otherwise. Also, the author throws in periodic Easter eggs that simply fans of the series will pick upward to appreciate.

This is a contemporary paranormal urban fantasy romance that I feel is the best of serial to date. How the author was able to pack SO much into 193 pages (per my kindle tracking) without overloading the story with confusion, disjointed scenes, or incomplete details was awesome. Open up jaw moment when I realized I had missed a fundamental plot factoid until information technology was in my face revealed in a climatic end scene. That doesn't happen very often so pardon me while I frown for a while over that.

Grant & Ellie have baggage problems to work through though with the insta-honey premise it's much easier to work through to go to the adept stuff. It does help that a various secondary cast of characters "aid" though with Meryn in the mix problem follows. The consequence is a roller coaster of emotions as I would turn from express joy to weep to unease to Sherlock Holmes sleuth back to laugh, cry, unease, repeat, echo. I've also been enriched with quality Meryn idioms and insider cultural hacks that will impress friends and family. Non spoiler example: Leroy Jenkins.

In that location is no way I can leave out a vague mention of my ultimate favorite scene of the book. In early serial installments, hands down favorite highlight of a story happened when Aiden'southward coiffure went shopping. Those who have followed the serial know what I'thousand talking nigh. There was something magical and downwards right hilarious when the guys went shopping. With the change of locals, that opportunity is off the table but the writer did provide an every bit entertaining scene that I'd liken to getting stuffed on Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. Forever more I'll be laughing when memories of that scene are triggered.

The but existent problem I have is that the series isn't moving forth fast plenty. The secondary cast of characters is pretty long which leaves a lot of opportunity for private installments BUT it as well is aggravating considering in that location are so many I desire, need to have their own HEA. In that location are obvious characters such as Etain, Avery, Merrick, Emeric, Magnus, Ryuu, Keelan, Micha, Sasha, Sebastian, etc but at present I'thou adding Grayson, Marjoram and Nathaniel. ps. I think Sebastian & Marjoram would be a cute couple, hint hint wink flash. Bottom line hither is at that place are so many characters in the wings that I am actually getting frustrated. If just Meryn 2.0 would make an appearance already.

Personally, if someone was to recommend I check out this series I'd autumn down in homage considering the series is that good. Personally I tin't recall of a more charismatic cardinal series character than Meryn who draws me in with her ongoing path of devastation wherever she goes nonetheless leaving loyal friends and family who would practise annihilation for her. If this is the sort of writing style and genre that interests you, I'm saying: check it out.

I really like this i, but a couple problems with it had me dropping it back to just "liked".

Showtime, the skilful stuff. The funny is solidly back. Alder always puts her characters in awkward situations and the comedy only flows from there. Grant was sexy and crawly. Meryn was back to form and delightful, though she does nevertheless skew a scrap too immature.

The problems I had were with plot, pacing and the heroine. I actually liked Ellie and thought she was sweet. I'one thousand sure the name and animal option were deliberate, but as a curvy gal myself I didn't appreciate it. The betoken could have hands been made with but the tunnel escort. Seriously, Ellie the curvy girl is an elephant?

The plot arc is never resolved, and that'due south getting to exist a habit for this series. Alder piles on more and more than mysteries surrounding the over reaching arc, without resolving or seemingly getting any closer to a solution. More questions are brought upwards than answered. For example: (view spoiler)[What did Meryn encounter with Kendrick (or was it Stefan, I can't remember which)? Why a virus targeting shifters? What does the large bad desire with a guy stealing research? (hide spoiler)]. And then basically all the principal plot points in the volume, aside from the central romance. And lastly, the inclusion of the bad guy at the finish seemed shoehorned to make Ellie take a chance to kicking a piddling donkey, but fiddling else.

But, equally I've said before, brand me express joy and I'll forgive a lot of things. And with this installment, Alder is back to her mastery of humor. Fifty-fifty if it notwithstanding surrounds a plot hole. (You've been living side-by-side with humans for centuries and you know side by side to nothing nigh them? You accept a mother and sisters and are surrounded by women but know zero about the female body except how to make it sing?) I really don't care that it doesn't brand sense, because it's damn funny.

However, there are recurring characters and an underlying interconnected disharmonize that play a major role in all the books, therefore to avert spoilers, I highly recommend reading the books sequentially.

OMG! I loved, loved, loved My Defender. Alder'southward books are like crack for united states of america paranormal romance junkies! I tin see it now: Room in a church basement, a circle of chairs, surrounded by a group of grim faces, and I stand and say, "Hello, my proper noun is Judy and I'm an Alanea Alder paranormal romance addict!" lol... All joking aside, Alder'south books really are addictive. They're like white potato fries; yous tin can't stop with just one! This is the 8th book of the series and each story gets better and meliorate! I tin inappreciably wait to dive into the ninth! lol... I love unique paranormal romance, addicted to danger, action, adventure & suspense, completely smitten with sexy, alpha heroes, adore sassy, courageous heroines, and there's null I relish more than a few mind-bending plot twists forth with a generous infusion of express joy-out-loud humor, but when I can get it all in one exceptionally well-crafted and beautifully written volume, I'g in absolute sky! And that'southward exactly what Alanea Alder delivered - AGAIN - in My Defender, the eighth total-length paranormal romance in her riveting and highly imaginative Bugged & Bewildered Serial. Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Was it perfect? No, just it was perfect for me. There were a few footling boo-boos missed in the editing process, simply nothing that distracted me from the story. Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am just but for adult readers since it does contain explicit language, some violence, and steamy, dreamy sex. Volition I read this author over again? Absolutely which is probably the all-time recommendation I can give! Equally a matter of fact, after completing the first book of this series, I raced back to Amazon and purchased the remaining nine books and signed up for her newsletter, which speaks volumes as to how much I enjoyed this writer'southward piece of work! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was glued to my chair, white-knuckling my ereader, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest every bit the pages flew every bit rapidly as the time!

The series takes a fleck of a turn in Volume half dozen when Unit of measurement Commander Aiden McKenzie and his firecracker mate Meryn leave Lycaonia to visit vampire pillar city Noctem Falls, Naturally, they are accompanied by Meryn'south squire Sei Ryuu and, of course, Felix the sprite along with former Noctem Falls resident Elizabeth Monroe and her mate Gavriel Ambrosios. And so in Book 8, they are joined by Colton, Rheia, Kendrick, and Anne. Aiden, Meryn, Ryuu, Felix, Beth, Gavriel, Colton, Rheia, Kendrick, and Anne are all recurring characters readers have gotten to know in the previous books of the series and e'er add so much to each story. We're too introduced to an unabridged new cast of intriguing characters in Book 6 but the master couple in this story is enigmatic unit warrior wolf-shifter Grant Douglas and kindhearted elephant-shifter Doctor Eleanor 'Ellie' Kimball, earth-renowned pediatrician and medical researcher. I cruel in love with the fierce, stoic, human-of-few-words, and always scowling Grant Douglas though he's as well a bit of a mystery. But one time once more, await until you lot find out who and what he his! Oh my! Shhh... No spoilers from me. And the sweet, shy, humble and extremely self disquisitional Ellie is the epitome of nifty intelligence, generosity, kindness, and heartwarming devotion to children and those she loves, like her lovely grandmother, retired nurse Marjarom Johanson, who accompanies Ellie to Noctem Falls, is an accented delight. At first glance, Grant and Ellie announced to exist total opposites but were and then perfect for each other! Ellie was merely the woman to come across the gentle, generous, kind soul below the layers of Grant'south stern nature and self-doubt! Both of their stories merely broke my centre and ane-year-old orphaned toddler Benji was soooo adorable! Sigh... Then dreamy! And naturally, Meryn 'the menace', her minions Jaxson and Noah, along with her two newly adopted twin 'baby Keelans' provide loads of laughter and shenanigans galore! And one time once more, this story ripped my heart out of my chest! I snickered, snorted, sniffled, snuffled, chuckled, and outright ugly cried through the entire story! This one will really tug on your heartstrings! But simply a footling alert, folks, don't beginning this book unless you have plenty of time; you will not desire to stop until you achieve the last page. I should know; I've spent the last week rampage-reading the entire series and falling comatose holding my Kindle every night! lol... Alanea Alder, you're killing me! If you enjoy perilous danger, intense drama, agonizing angst, pulse-pounding activity, boom-biting suspense, side-splitting humour, heartwarming romance, and a few mind-blowing plot twists that you lot'll never see coming, so this book is screaming your proper name. Boggling world building, exceptional character introduction/development, along with skilled plot progression make this series a fabulous, tin can't-put-down read! Thanks for the recommendation Fran Zoch!

Who doesn't honey a strong, silent, blastoff male? Grant is one of my favorites in the Eta unit of measurement. He is just a quiet force, silently there when you need him. He found the perfect mate in Ellie, who is a astounding physician and born to be a mother. The manner they find themselves, each other and their HEA is total of surprises and love.

Personally, I don't relish giving "SPOILERS" as a rule, so I believe the general synopsis to a higher place or on the volume flap if information technology'southward a hard copy should give you all the information you need. I exercise include the basics under synopsis though. If you'd like to know my overall thoughts & feelings most the book or author, delight check the "Personal Opinion" department. Also, if this is a volume in a series, under "Characters," y'all'll nearly likely find a fu-bo listing. While reading, authors tend to introduce us to numerous characters and I detect I wonder if they will become their own book, and then I decided to include this in my review. I volition try non to include "SPOILERS" if there are any. And now to my review:

So for that reason lonely, you take to read the volume. Muh-ha-haha. We encounter a few new people, including an ambrosial picayune rascal that will steal everyone's centre. And on that note, onetime friends from Lycaonia pay a visit, and so now in Noctem Falls, I have Law . . . and Kendrick . . . together. . . Fangirling has commenced. Returning to Earth might not be possible in the future!

Personal Opinion:
Where to start . . . oh yeah, right here: THIS IS ME. DO Non Approximate Delight

Just earlier I become into Law & Kendrick overload, I'd like to comment on a few things. . .

At the offset of my review on here, I posted a warning, and if you took the time to read the actual synopsis of the book provided past goodreads, you lot volition exist aware an illness has infected the children of Noctem Falls. I read Fated Healing Kindred of Arkadia 5 previously, then I thought "hey, I won't fall apart this time, because I know what can happen. I'thousand prepared." Sadly, I was wrong. Since reading this when information technology first came out, and now over again to refresh my memory and so I tin write this review, again I couldn't stop crying and this fourth dimension, I knew exactly what was going to happen. *sigh* I can only suggest y'all grab the tissues.

The sadness is brief, and so you won't be overwhelmed by it throughout the book. Plus, how could there be, when Meryn is there? "THIS! IS! SPARTA!". Every time she says that, I express joy. And and then I remember, maybe I should watch "300" again. *shakes head, while laughing* My favorite quote from Meryn in this book is, "Don't touch expressionless bodies! Cease kicking tunnel escorts in the balls! Cease being a lesbian on Facebook! Why tin't I have any fun?" she demanded. OMG, I cannot empathise how people cannot dear Meryn, she is so spunky and honestly blunt.

Before I get to Kendrick, tin can I only once again reiterate: this book has an elephant shifter. I have never read about an elephant shifter before. I take read a whole lot of shifter books, merely I swear, I believe this is my commencement. If, fellow readers, you take read other books re: elephant shifters please send me a annotate or message if you recommend them. And now . . .

Kendrick! *:゚*。⋆ฺ(*´◡`) So, back in my review of My Brother's Keeper, I mentioned Kendrick decided to repay the favor from when Aiden & co. took him to the Duck In. This, and only click on the spoiler link if you lot truly want to know, says information technology all: (view spoiler)[Aiden: "Kendrick helped me to procure a video that will show us the miracle of birth then we may better help our mates when their time comes. Every bit your Unit Commander and resident female skillful, I felt it was my duty to make certain we are prepared for our children." (hide spoiler)] ✧ꉂ(σ▰˃̶̀ꇴ˂̶́)σ✧ I couldn't terminate laughing. There were even tears. And then, they sat downwards to lunch. (view spoiler)[Kendrick prepares them tons of comfort food because he knew it was tramtic for them. There's turkey. OMG, I'm off again just remembering. (hibernate spoiler)]. *wipes abroad tears*

I accept a feeling things are going to become even more interesting in Noctem Falls. There are a number of new threads woven in through the story, which make me so excited every bit I await to encounter them explored.

I leave you at present with a quote, one I think sums up not only this volume, only something I feel every fourth dimension I selection up a book by Alanea Alder:

"They were chaotic and nuts and rowdy, but inside him his wolf settled down and laid his head on his paws. With 1 eye open, he watched over his family, and for the beginning time in his life, Grant felt like he had constitute his way home."

I absolutely loved this book. It'due south been worth the wait.
Grant has gone from a side character to a main feast. His sweet and loving mate Doc Ellie, makes the perfect mate to our repose scowling Grant.

Due to a mysterious illness, Ellie and her Grams comes to Noctem Falls to help. Bonus, she didn't count on coming together her mate the same day.
Grant has no idea why the kids from the Wolfpack is calling for him when they are in hurting. Only he goes to them. Never did he dream that fate would send him his mate.

Grant has no idea why the kids from the Wolfpack is calling for him when they are in pain. But he goes to them. Never did he dream that fate would transport him his mate. They also became parents of an ambrosial baby.... yip yous demand to read for that appetizer.

This book is filled with and so much emotion. Worry, honey, hurting, joy, tears, smiles and many revelations we were non prepared for. I was reading this book with an urgency because I needed to know what volition be happening. And and so a second time to make sure I didn't miss annihilation.

With Meryn effectually in that location is never a wearisome moment. I think with each volume I larn more to dear of this little adult female with an amazingly huge center. In this volume, she knows how Grant feels and she tin can help him and others relate.

Learning well-nigh Grant's circumstances made me aroused and made me and then proud of him, I just want to hug him. The quiet scowling wolf has a few surprises and it made me smile. The way he treats his mate... I wish someone could care for me the same way. They way he praises his mate.... humbles my centre.
When things became so hard, he was at that place for her and he could help her with his quiet strength... dear this human being.

I loved that Alanea brings in a few of our loved characters from our Alpha Estate.... well you got to read to find out who.
Only Ellie came with her own piddling drama.... may I say that I totally enjoyed the way she took care of her problem. Our team likewise learned more about the fact that the ferals are in the cities as well and in important positions.

Alanea, I volition never look at a turkey... with a silver spoon stuck in it and not express joy! And besides the word MASHED.... different meaning to me.

Awesome volume, but now I want the next volume badly, please?

I waited what seemed like forever for the next book in the Bewitched and Bewildered series. In reality it was only a few months but these are the types of books that you want to read for days at a fourth dimension. I was excited we would exist getting another shifter and was excited to see some of my favorites characters again!

Grant was amazing! I had no incertitude he would be. His past breaks your center merely to see how much of a fighter and survivor he is, really mayhap you respect him more.

Ellie was a tough women

I waited what seemed like forever for the adjacent volume in the Bewitched and Bewildered series. In reality information technology was only a few months simply these are the types of books that you want to read for days at a time. I was excited we would exist getting some other shifter and was excited to run into some of my favorites characters again!

Grant was amazing! I had no doubt he would be. His past breaks your heart but to see how much of a fighter and survivor he is, really maybe yous respect him more.

Ellie was a tough women who from the commencement showed her strength and determination. Her grandma was as well an amazing character that you could run across meant the earth to her and was her biggest supporter.

The plot hit dwelling to me. It revolves around the shifter children being sick and every bit a mother I could experience the helplessness that Ellie felt. She has such a huge center that she loved her job, it was and then much more than and so a job to hear. The emotions I felt while reading this were so raw and existent that I couldn't stop even when I had tears.

This volume is the toughest one of the series and the author knocked it out of the park. She kept united states laughing and broke our hearts while keeping usa moving forward and wondering what was going on.

I wish o could tell y'all my favorite parts but information technology would ruin those parts for other readers, just seeing this new couple, seeing our favorite couples from the other books made this book simply amazing! I didn't desire it to end but I know there is a lot more than to come!!!

Overall, the writer tin can write 100 more of these books and I will never get tired of them! They all deal with paranormal creatures and the subplot carries on through each book, just I still tin't get enough of each one I read. This one was absolutely no different. I was lamentable when information technology was over because now I know I volition have to expect for the next one. five stars #2OCCJD

- I've been interested in how Grant's book would look like since we knew that he was next from the previous volume, but I never expected this .. wow

- Ok I need to point out a slight thwarting i had which I created by myself: then since the last book I thought in that location would be more side couples and I accept hoping that Magnus would notice his someone, at the same fourth dimension I looked at the authors Pinterest B&B inspiration board and saw the heroine's grandmother and I automatically coupled them upwards I thought he would exist mated to the grandma but no, so that was my only disappointment which was build on my own misconception.

- I loved how the hero worshipped the heroine and how adorable he was

- I LOVED that he was from hufflepuff information technology just cements that he's that ambrosial

- I loved how the kids loved him too and not simply considering he's Blastoff Built-in merely cause he'south gentle and sweet, and especially when he covered the twins on the video debacle

- I loved the advent of the previous book side couple they were so adorable even the heroine couldn't stand firm on her strictness because they were just so adorable

- Yep and the fact that he is an Alpha Born is kicking ass, and all of them discovered his history like when he joined the units he was just around 50 yrs which is in homo years is like around 10-12 yrs and the fact the he didn't fifty-fifty know how to talk then and all of that and more and how no ane even noticed

- I loved how the heroine fabricated a turn over to a badass elephant mama it was cool XD

Overall, *thumbs up*

Dearest her<3

Honestly there isn't a book that I haven't loved by this writer!

As per usual this story is laced with that brilliant humour! Sugariness honey and trivial angsty moments that necktie the story together similar perfection. I love that every book has previous character intermingled throughout. I don't call up a book would be every bit keen without that because even though the stories are focused on the main character, having all the other characters in the stories makes is more personal. Hella more hilarious

Honestly in that location isn't a volume that I haven't loved past this author!

As per usual this story is laced with that brilliant sense of humor! Sweet love and little angsty moments that tie the story together like perfection.

I don't think a volume would be equally peachy without that because fifty-fifty though the stories are focused on the main graphic symbol, having all the other characters in the stories makes is more personal. Hella more hilarious and down correct entertaining. Information technology too gives it that familiar comfort with a fresher outlook.
I dearest both Ellie and grant and believed their connectedness 100%. The story is seamless and written to perfection. I tin't expect for whats side by side.

Ellie broke my center. As an Elephant shifter, she has all of the aforementioned insecurities that any curvy woman has...and I should know! Still, Grant was amazing. He isn't a smooth talker, merely he has that Alpha affair down! I luuurve him. This i has the children getting sick...and I ain't gonna lie, Clara had me crying my eyes out. However, I know that they tin can fix this...that bastard DeLaFontaine is up to something with his cuff links, I know it.

This review has been hidden considering it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Grant seems surprisingly proficient with children. What a douchebag, trying to steal her research for petty reasons. Grant just keeps getting more than interesting. This is a really weird sickness. I think Grant and Ellie are going to be wonderful parents. Of grade Meryn has a cult. Good on Felix wanting you lot learn how to protect Meryn. Cthulhu! Oh my god, they're gonna lookout the miracle of nativity!
