Master of Wolves

Faith Weston knows that something is wrong with the Clarkson Police Department. Mysterious deaths keep happening but whenever she pushes to investigate she is stonewalled. Jim London has sworn to avenge the death of his best friend. His quest to find his friend's killer has led him straight to Clarkston. He decides that in order to find out the truth, he needs to go undercover. The fact that Jim is a werewolf aids in his undercover identity when he poses as Faith's new canine partner, Rambo. Only it's pure torture for Jim to watch Faith day in and day out, slowly falling in love with her while she doesn't even know he exists. I have enjoyed each and every one of Angela Knight's Mageverse series and Master of Wolves is no exception! With every book I find myself drawn into the world that Angela Knight has so skillfully drawn. Vampires, Werewolves, Fairies, Merlin, Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, True Bonding and simmering sensual love scenes! How much more could the paranormal fan want? I always feel that next book in this series is not to be missed!! Melissa Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Loved this installment

I found this a very fast intense read. I found the main characters very believable and, due to circumstances beyound their control, they become involved with each other very quickly. I really enjoyed the original premise of having Jim be Faith's K-9 police dog to start out. Having read Knight's other books of the Mageverse I was able to re-orient myself to that world fairly quickly, though it would probably seem prettly complicated for a first time reader. I, for one, appreciated that Knight had the weres being able to change back to human form with everything intact and also able to communicate. Makes it much more logical and addresses issues often just overlooked by other authors. I like how characters from previous stories play an important part here and am really looking forward to the next book and battle.

What a Rush!

Angela Knight has brought her Mageverse series into full shining glory with this latest installment. Blending the perfect mix of erotic romance, fascinating characters and pulse pounding action, "Master of Wolves" is the best and most solid read that Knight has penned yet. A brief quote on the cover calls her a "rising star". How wrong they are. She's already a star shining very brightly in the romance book industry and her latest book is sure to please any fan of the paranormal subgenre. Faith Weston is a dedicated K-9 officer with the Clarkston, NC police department. When she gets an anonymous donation of a fully trained police dog she's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Soon she and her new friend Rambo are busting drug abusers and all seems well within the confines of the small town. Rumors abound though of the town's jail, tales of people going in and not coming out alive. Such occurances are one reason Jim London has come town. He's set on finding his fellow werewolf's murderer and he comes up with the plan to go undercover - as Faith's furry sidekick Rambo. What he doesn't count on is her no-nonsense sense of justice, sexy body and honest heart. With death magic looming everywhere and a police department turned rogue, Faith won't stand down till she's solved the mystery. Just as adamate that Faith will not be harmed, Jim has no choice but to reveal himself to her. Faith and Jim will have to team up to find out who has the town's police in there thrall and when the going gets tough, the tough will get furry. Fast-paced, action-packed and full of great signature Knight style romance, her latest is packing what everyone has come to love about her books. From the first page till the last, you will not want to put this one down. Faith is a great heroine. She's strong, independant, loyal and passionate. She's a little heart sore as well, but that's where Jim comes in. Readers will feel good about Faith's welfare with the sexy alpha Dire Wolf looking over her. He may be alpha, but he's not afraid to let Faith in on the action. He's charming, to-die-for drool worthy and all of Faith's descriptions about his butt...well, let me get back on track here. Together, they make one of the more enjoyable romance couples I've read about in a while. While both are jump-right-into-the-action types they still make plenty of room for each other, sharing the roles of hero and heroine equally. The opposition (a.k.a. the "bad guys") was equally as interesting and actually gave Jim and Faith a run for their money. I loved every minute of Knight's latest and still did not want to see it come to an end. Not that I didn't love her others in the series, but "Master of Wolves" lands them all solidly on my keeper shelf. Stay tuned for the next in the series, "Master of Swords" (Oct. '06) about Sir Gawain. Excellent tale, Ms. Knight. Many sighs of sated romance reading appreciation!

Another fabulous book by Angela Knight....

Angela Knight's Mageverse series has quickly become one of my favorites! In the Mageverse, there several groups of supernatural beings- witches, werewolves, the Sidhe, and vampires. The good vampires consist of characters from the King Arthur legends and refer to themselves as the Magus. Vampires are created by drinking blood from a grail; the original Magus drank from Merlin's grail. Unfortunately, several black grails exist and one witch, Celestine, has chosen to create her own following in Clarkston, SC. Werewolf Tony Shay becomes a victim for Celestine's quest for power and his childhood friend, Jim London, heads undercover to Clarkston. Of course, undercover means he is in the guise of a German Shepard K-9 dog for Officer Faith Weston! Faith knows something is wrong in Clarkston, particularly with the police department, but she is unaware of all of the supernatural aspects. Celestine and cop-turned-werewolf Keith Reynolds try to steal the grail from another vampire in NY (Korbal) and the fight that ensues results in Faith being called to the scene to investigate. Unfortunately, Faith is bitten by Reynolds and Jim has to help her through the change into a werewolf. Faith still doesn't believe the entire department is involved until she and Jim overhear Faith's own Chief of Police planning her capture and death. Faith must come to grips with her new role as one of the Dire Kind and her feelings for Jim while she and Jim work together to stop Celestine's plan. Characters from previous novels do reappear in this book but this can be read as a stand alone novel. Angela Knight has done an excellent job at taking several overdone myths and making them fresh, new and exciting. Highly recommended!

Master of Wolves - by Vicky London reviewer for Vampiregenre.com

Master of Wolves is another great book in Angela Knight's signature style. It's full of sizzling passion, fast-paced action and exciting plots. Faith Weston is a K-9 officer in small town Clarkston, SC. She has lots of experience with dogs including her cheating ex-husband, and her sexual harassment poster-boy boss. Jim London is a werewolf who is trying to solve the murder of his best friend. He's pretty sure that the police in Clarkston are trying to cover up the suspicious murder of the bounty hunter. He's going to get to the bottom of things and luckily his shape shifter abilities will let him take the form of a dog. It just so happens that Clarkston P.D. is in need of a new police dog. The sexy officer Weston is a distraction Jim doesn't need. He must avenge his friend's death, keep the secrets of his kind, and get the hell out of South Carolina. This is a tough job when the tempting K-9 handler is hot enough to bring out the animal in any man. Knight's world of werewolves and vampires is intriguing and addictive. The book also contains an exciting preview of Master of Swords.
