10 More Days Till It's The End Of The World: A Review From Kim



Description:

Though the Serbian pack has been brought to heel thanks to the downfall of their Alpha, the war is far from over.
Desdemona, a witch of unfathomable power, has escaped the wolves’ wrath, but she will not go quietly into the night. She takes refuge in a place where even the smallest sliver of light does not dare to enter. Though she had to flee, she has not given up on the treasure she wishes to acquire. Her depravity knows no bounds; she's even willing to search for the one who can assist her in opening a Veil that has not been opened in millennia – with good reason: the danger is incalculable.

Meanwhile, there are major changes rippling through the Romanian Grey wolves. Decebel has become Alpha to the Serbian pack in an effort to begin to unite the Canis lupis species. Their numbers are dwindling in the wake of the shortage of true mates and lack of offspring. The wolves are beginning to lose faith and darkness seems to be crashing in on them from all sides. But the winds of change are blowing, changes that will alter the future of not only the Canis lupis, but of another ancient race as well.
Amidst all of this, Sally is continuing to come to terms with her relationship with the playful, charming, flirty, unbelievably handsome bartender – who happens to be a member of the Romanian pack.
If all that weren’t enough, the Fates have decided to pay a little visit to Jen. It’s time to collect. She cheated the Fates of a life, her life. Now they want what they are due. The problem? It’s more than Jen is willing to pay.
Yes, the war is indeed far from over. Bargains will be struck, declarations will be made, sacrifices will be given, love will be tested, and trust will be questioned as evil makes its stand against them all.

My Review:

Beyond the Veil by Quinn Loftis
Rating: 5 out of 5

Though the Serbian pack has been brought to heel thanks to the downfall of their Alpha, the war is far from over.

Desdemona, a witch of unfathomable power, has escaped the wolves’ wrath, but she will not go quietly into the night. She takes refuge in a place where even the smallest sliver of light does not dare to enter. Though she had to flee, she has not given up on the treasure she wishes to acquire. Her depravity knows no bounds; she's even willing to search for the one who can assist her in opening a Veil that has not been opened in millennia – with good reason: the danger is incalculable.

Meanwhile, there are major changes rippling through the Romanian Grey wolves. Decebel has become Alpha to the Serbian pack in an effort to begin to unite the Canis lupis species. Their numbers are dwindling in the wake of the shortage of true mates and lack of offspring. The wolves are beginning to lose faith and darkness seems to be crashing in on them from all sides. But the winds of change are blowing, changes that will alter the future of not only the Canis lupis, but of another ancient race as well.

Amidst all of this, Sally is continuing to come to terms with her relationship with the playful, charming, flirty, unbelievably handsome bartender – who happens to be a member of the Romanian pack.

If all that weren’t enough, the Fates have decided to pay a little visit to Jen. It’s time to collect. She cheated the Fates of a life, her life. Now they want what they are due. The problem? It’s more than Jen is willing to pay.
Yes, the war is indeed far from over. Bargains will be struck, declarations will be made, sacrifices will be given, love will be tested, and trust will be questioned as evil makes its stand against them all.

This is the fifth book in the Grey Wolf Series, and it continues the tale of Jen, Jacque, and Sally.  There are a lot of twists and turns in this book as the witch Desdamona continues her quest to kill all of the Canis Lupis.  Each couple in this book must endure challenges beyond their comprehension.  You will definitely be on the edge of your seat as you read this one.
Jacque and Fane are still the lovesick puppies.  They are quiet and reserved about their relationship.  We don’t get a lot of information on how their relationship in this book.  They just continue on like they have in the last two books.

Jen and Decebel are on fire as always.  They really steal the show in this book.  Jen is full of her outlandish comments and actions.  She enrages Decebel at every turn.  The most touching part is when Jen must tell Decebel that she is pregnant and the Fates will kill their child as payment for Jen living.  This really shows the depth of their love and devotion for each other.  Jen opens up and lets out all of her fear.  It is a rare moment to see the loving and caring person that Jen can be.

Sally and Costin are just beginning their romance.  At the end of the last book we saw a glimpse of their attraction.  Here we see their bond grow stronger.  Sally is shy and timid but does not turn away from her mate even when she is scared.  There story is not as in depth as the other two.  I feel that Sally gets the short end of the straw because her romance is cut short due to the impending war with Desdamona. 

The Great Luna makes an appearance in this book and shakes things up for her Canis Lupis.  She also does everything in her power to help the supernaturals to defeat Desdamona.  Unfortunately, the witch is prepared this time and our favorite pack members are put through the worst trial.
This is an awesome book to continue the series.  I can’t wait to read the next one to see what happens to our wolves, healers, and Fae.  There is a lot going on in this one so make sure to take your time reading it.
