The Altered III

Annabelle Jacobs

Matt is a single shifter living in a house full of couples. It’s not that he begrudges his friends their happiness—especially after everything they’ve been through—but he wants someone for himself. He wants a mate. Living out in the Cornish countryside there seems little chance of him finding one.

Thomas’s life has recently been changed for ever. Newly altered, he finds himself in danger as his mother, a prominent politician, works to put a stop to the mistreatment of altereds and bring those responsible to justice.

To keep him safe, Thomas is sent to Cornwall where Matt and his friends offer him refuge until he can return to his home in London. Despite the circumstances surrounding his arrival, Thomas and Matt bond in a way neither of them were expecting. They struggle to come to terms with what this might mean for their future once the threat is eliminated.

Excerpt

“Daniel?” He strained to hear anything but the whole farmhouse seemed quiet. His senses were a little overwhelmed after being effectively dampened for the last three hours, but after thirty seconds or so he could hear the tread of footsteps outside and a car approaching the farmhouse.

Jordan’s black Volkswagen T5 pulled up onto the gravel drive at the same time as Matt opened the kitchen door. Daniel walked over to meet him as he got out of the van, holding his phone out for Jordan to see. Whatever was on there had Jordan tensing up immediately.

“What’s wrong?” Matt called out, making Daniel jump, but Jordan didn’t even flinch already fully aware of his presence. He walked over to them, and looked pointedly at Daniel.

Daniel motioned for Jordan to give him his phone back and handed it straight over to Matt. “I got an email from Shaw.”

It took Matt a good few seconds to recognise the name. And when he did, his chest tightened at the memories it invoked. It wasn’t that anyone had forgotten what happened at the facility, but it wasn’t exactly a popular topic of conversation either. Shaw, along with Ash and a Dr Adams, had been injected with the serum by Chambers and had ended up a partial altered. Whatever he had to say, Matt doubted it would be anything good.

The email was short and to the point. Shaw hadn’t bothered with pleasantries, and Matt felt oddly pleased by that. They weren’t friends, and he was glad no one pretended otherwise. He read it again to make sure he hadn’t missed anything and handed the phone back to Daniel.

“So.” Matt glanced up at the sky, knowing their peaceful existence was about to change. But he asked the question anyway. “Are we going to take them?”

Review: This is the third and final instalment of Annabelle Jacobs’ series Lycanaeris (though the books are titled The Altered, numbered 1 through to 3). Though a different couple is focused in each book, the overall storyline is continued from book 1 and culminates in a very satisfying ending in book 3. As a side note, if you are like me and the last you read the book was in May when book 2 came out, I recommend a quick re-read of the series or else you may find yourself a tad confused, particularly at the beginning.

In The Altered 3 we are picking up the general storyline of the “altered” humans who now have the ability to shift into wolves or are seers trying to expose the evil government/organisation that are continually testing on them and trying to turn other humans into the altered. This is all key to the romantic portion of the storyline, where newly altered Thomas seeks protection with Matt (not so newly altered) and his rag tag group of mates (who have all found their mates) hiding out in Cornwall.

The chemistry between Matt and Thomas is really nice, it is both smoking hot and really sweet. Aside from all that they have to go through in terms of being part of the altered, they are just two guys wanting to find their place in the world and even a HEA along the way. This is a must read for anyone who has started the series, because we get a nice ending – the epilogue is particularly poignant. For people that love their shifters and a bit of action along the way, this is a good (and short) series to pick up.
