Wolf
Rebel (SWAT
#10). By Paige Tyler. 2019.
Sourcebooks
Casablanca (ARC
eBook).
Police
officer Rachel Bennett has had a rough go of it in the past year.
Brutally injured by a crazed man while responding to a dispatch call
in a graveyard in the middle of the night, she recovers only to
discover that the close call triggered her transformation into a
werewolf. Now she’s a member of the Dallas Police Department’s
Special Wolf Alpha Team (SWAT), a division made up of werewolves, and
her latest assignment is working a protection detail for an
Assistant District
Attorney. Plagued by nightmares, strange smells and hallucinations of
her attacker, Rachel hopes work will be enough to distract her from
her mental crisis, but then she learns
that she’ll be working alongside Knox Lawson, and her troubles
multiply.
This is new author
and series to me. Wolf Rebel is
the 10th
installment of SWAT, but can be read as a standalone well enough.
While there is the standard paranormal fare of fated mates and
enemies to lovers, Rachel and Knox’s story switches it up by having
her, a relative novice
at being a werewolf, training an
even newer werewolf in Knox.
Wolf Rebel delivers
two people pulled together against all odds,
but it
is
more heavy on the action than
the romance, and
there are some creepy moments where Rachel’s past comes back to
haunt her that adds an element of suspense as
well as an interesting look
into Tyler’s supernatural world. Overall, an action-packed and
entertaining read with a bit
of steam on the side.
