Blurb: Four years ago, our world ended with the lightning fast spread of the wolfman plague. The lucky ones died. Men who survived became something from the Twilight Zone growing larger, stronger, and faster with better senses than we mere humans do. Oh, and aggressive? ‘Roid rage is nothing compared to these guys. They either wanted to kill it, fuck it or eat it, sometimes all three, and not in any particular order.
One of a few immune men, I live in a fortified compound with a couple dozen women, a bunch of kids and two asshole straight guys. Sounds like a man’s wet dream — unless you happen to be the last gay man standing. After a winter locked up with two guys I’ve got nothing in common with, a few dozen lonely women and about a dozen kids, I needed to get away. That’s how I ended up alone in that alley staring death in the face.
I expected to die, not find my future and someone to share it with. Not that it was all wine and roses what with angry wolfmen, militant women, and a threat none of us saw coming.

Review: Book 1 Apocalypse (89 pages, November 1st, 2010) is the perfect beginning to this book. It shows so much strength the humans and in the wolf-men. I found myself enjoying this book a little more than the others. It had a way about it that intrigued me. Daniel is the only gay man in a group of two straight and a bunch of women and children. Fed up with everything at the camp, he goes to the city to get supplies. Mace on the other hand is the alpha of his pack. Pack or rabid is what was left from the disease that ravaged the land. The way Mace feels is tender at times and cold at others. The way Daniel is treated by the others made me just want to shoot them all. The plot is intriguing and surprising. I sat at the edge of my seat through the whole story waiting for the next shoe to drop. The sex is OMG hot. The sex from the others in the pack were wild and passion field with possessive streaks added in. However, the sex between Mace and Daniel is tender and caring. When they are among pack, Mace comes off as cold and not giving a damn which is hurting Daniel. Mace and Daniel actually come off more real to me, their desires and lust just hit you their attraction for each other just bounces off the pages right at you. You just know that they are going to steam the mirrors up when they get together.
Book 2 Revelations (94 pages, February 2011) has turned out to be just as good as the first part. Mace lets Daniel know that what he is feeling is close to love. He wants him as his chosen and if he acts like he is mad well it wasn’t at Daniel but at himself. This story adds an intriguing mix into it. Some of Daniels group made it to the city to steal supplies and they get captured. Wanting to stop the killings of the wolf-men who are no danger, well unless you attack them, they try to come to compromise. It doesn’t work out that away but it is a start. This shows the strength of each character and also the fear that humans feel when they come across someone who is different than they are. In this part there is not as much sex in it but what is there is amazing. The need to protect each other shows so much in each one. There is a lot of anger and fear for the unknown but a lot of love and tenderness also.
Book 3 Judgment (94 pages, July 4th, 2011) is about as hot as the first book. Mace and Daniel’s feelings are getting stronger and you just shiver when you read the hot spots. I think that the shivering is more about what you read between the lines though. You can tell that there is so much love between them even if they haven’t figured that part out. While they had been at Daniel’s old compound,
Mace’s pack had lost all formation and needed their alpha back. It seems with each story, more characters show up. Each one with a story of their own. Daniel’s strength has made a lot of headway in Mace’s pack.
Book 4 Salvation (91 pages, September 16th, 2011) is exactly what it sounds like. Daniel’s salvation. Daniel has a past of so much pain and fear, that it is now coming out in full force. To know someone who has so much pain and fear makes me think deep and hard. Mace’s love for Daniel comes out in this story. This story alone makes me sit down on the floor and just re-read it over and over again. The feelings between each character is so strong that you think it would come out of the book and just grab you by the heart.
Book 5 Genesis (94 pages November 10th, 2011) is as it sounds the comings to an end. Daniel and Mace’s love is coming out more and more with each day’s passing. The story line and plot make this story an excellent read. The characters just pop out at you with each read. I liked the characters. They were very realistic in the way they felt things. Their tender sides, the pain they felt and how protective they are of their families. They are overcoming such hard times, being changed from human to werewolf and not being able to stop it. They are fighting to keep their humanity and trying to save what is theirs. I think that this series is one hell of a great read and will love having it in my library so that I may re-read it when I want.
