Search - Wild Instinct (Wild, Bks 4, 5, and 6)

This was 3 storied all connected. Really good reading that has me looking for more in this series!

Excellent read! The review I wrote for Running Wild still applies to this one...

I love shifter books [although there's not a whole lot of shifting going on]. This is three novella length stories which [quite seamlessly] make up a novel. Each novella centers on a different [hot!] were hero and the process of matching him up with his heroine. The three heroines are sisters but each has her own, well-drawn 'feel' to her character. The heroes are the two brothers and a cousin who fall for them. Again, each character is distinctly drawn; no 'open plot and insert alpha hero here' stuff. Though each novella contains it's own plot, the novel has story threads reaching across them all.

What can I say? Tight action, suspense, great characters... Yep, I'm going to be looking for the rest of her stuff!

Order is important as the overall story arc [the formation and building of Haven - a non-traditional pack] continues across the series.

Running Wild
Wild Instinct

Hoping for more books in the series...

This was the first of Ms. McCarty's books I read. While I liked the plot and the characters, I felt as if I was reading the cliff notes version of the story.

There isn't enough background or world-building here. In addition, she leaves out huge swathes of the story.

Possibly if I had read Wild 1-3 first I wouldn't have had the same impression.

Very good book. Great continuation from last one. I liked Cur, Garrett and Daine very much. Highly recommend if you already read "Running Wild" . If not you will be a little confused.

Good book. Sarah McCarty is a good "detailed" romance novelist

Three connected story that makes up a whole novel. It was a good read simply because I really enjoyed the characters. The strongest story was the first (Garrett). It was well written with an actual story to it. The second one (Daire) was not as good but still intriguing. The third one (Curran) ended rather abruptly, kind of like McCarty got sick of writing and slapped on an end. There are a lot of unanswered questions but I guess it will continue as the series continue. Really having cool characters and a neat little shifter world is what saved this book. Plot-wise it is very weak. I'll still check out her other books though.
