Book Review: Deadly Mates by Ashley Stoyanoff (Deadly Trilogy Book 2)

     Now that Jade has become Alpha Female of the Dog Mountain's pack she no longer hates wolves as she once did. In fact, she cares for them deeply. Since she has become alpha female she has been training with the enforcers, but her happy little bubble is soon to burst as her father is coming home. He brings with him unanswered questions about his awful were-cougar pack that use women as communal property. Not only is this issue hanging over her head, but the pack is divided as she has not forgiven Aiden for his betrayal. With the already fragile pack splitting between the two alphas loosing the possibility of a relationship isn't her biggest issue. 

    I started this book immediately after finishing book 1 because I wanted to know if Jade and Aiden became mates and what was going on with her father and the were-cougars. I am trying very hard not to give away anything that happened in book 2 other than her becoming alpha female. I will state that, unfortunately, book 2 still has not answered my question about the were-cougars. I get that a book isn't normally 900 pages long (what the book would have been if all 3 of these were shoved together), but taking 3 books to solve one issue seems like a little much to me. Is the story interesting? Yes. It is and I am going to read book 3, but I wanted to rant on that for a second. 

    Now then, one of the things I mentioned in my review of book 1 was that this is a YA paranormal romance. It still is, don't get me wrong. And just as before I will state that there are no sex scenes in this book. It is a clean paranormal romance book featuring an 18 year old and a 19 year old. Sex is insinuated, but there are no scenes. Personally, I am all for sex scenes, but if you are reading this in the hopes that this could be something for those who aren't supposed to read those things then there you go.

Deadly Crush (Deadly Trilogy Book 1)

Book Review: Deadly Crush by Ashley Stoyanoff (Deadly Trilogy Book 1)

     Jade has lived her whole life on Dog Mountain, where there is a werewolf pack that everyone knows about and seems okay with. In fact, her parents have always actively tried to get her to join the wolves. Except Jade seems to be the only person in town who hates the wolves. They take whatever they want and the worst of them all is their Alpha, Ray. That is until Ray is overthrown and there is a new, sexy, man in town. With all of the female wolves fighting for this new alpha Jade's biggest concern is trying to determine if she can forgive her previous best friend while ignoring the ever sexy Aiden. Just how far will this newfound attraction take her and will she still care for him when she learns his secret? 

    I have had this book hiding in my Kindle library for years and am sad that it took me so long to get to it. I am a huge fan of paranormal romances and this one is that plus a YA book. There isn't even any sex in it and I am okay with that. I can't say that there won't be in later books, but I do intend to find out. I started this book and became so intrigued with it that I stayed up until 3am last night just to finish it. The book ended on a cliff-hanger and I needed to know more. So I went ahead and bought the other 2 books in the series. As I said this is a YA book. So there is teenage drama and the characters act like you would expect. If you are looking for more grown up and developed characters this isn't the book, because the characters are true to their age. High-schoolers are petty and the ones in this book pull that off quite well. 

    Normally I don't buy the next in the series, at least not so soon after reading the first because I have so many unread books. With this one, however, I felt like I needed to know more. I have already started book 2 and hope that it is just as amazing and spell-binding as book 1.
