Terry Spear’s sixth book in her werewolf series is a December 2010 release from Sourcebooks Inc. and will have you addicted to the series if you are not already. Wolf Fever is the first book I have read by Terry Spear, so though I can’t compare it to her earlier works, I can definitely say I will be back tracking to read the previous books in her series. The novel is intriguing right from the beginning when readers meet a psychic newly turned were-wolf who finds herself caged and being stalked.
Paranormal Romance in Wolf Fever
Carol Woods desperately wanted to be a nurse in Silver Town, Colorado, she just didn’t plan on becoming a wolf to do so. Having been bitten by a red were-wolf, Carol finds herself guarded at all hours by her pack leader that is determined to keep his pack safe, even from her. When alpha leader Ryan Mckinley comes to town she is immediately interested, and considering she is being forced to take a mate, he comes at just the right time. That is, if he realizes in time that he wants her too. Carol faces a few main problems within the pages of this enticing novel:
- She doesn’t want to shift and accept the wolf part of her - Thanks to her psychic abilities, Carol has a fear of not being able to change back to human once she shifts to a wolf. So, she uses her visions to postpone the shift more than any newly turned wolf should be able to, which causes fear and tension amidst the pack.
- Carol won’t accept any mate who doesn’t accept her psychic abilities - This poses a huge problem when she falls for the a gray pack leader who is determined to prove her wrong. Ryan Mckinley doesn’t believe in paranormal mumbo jumbo, he is a straight thinking P.I. who deals in the hard facts that can be proved in a court of law. Convincing Ryan of her powers and getting him to trust them becomes one of her biggest challenges.
- Carol soon finds herself one of the only people trying to cure a virus infecting her pack - With her psychic abilities Carol had tried to warn everyone, but now she has to try to save everyone. The love between Carol and Ryan hangs suspended precariously in the balance of how they can solve this mysterious virus and bring the ones who caused it to justice.
Romantic Fiction Novel Wolf Fever
Terry Spear perfectly produced an urban fantasy paranormal romance novel that is simply fun to read. There aren’t a lot of deep moments that resonate with things going on in the world today, but the book does pose a perfect example of escapist literature where readers can get lost in a world that is not their own. The characters are relatable up to their wolfish qualities and the dialogue is something anyone might say, if they were a were-wolf. Over all the book is simply fun and memorable and readers wont be disappointed when they try it out.
