Marked Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 2) by Lilliana Rose – Review by Ayla Phipps

Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Continuation. This is the second book in the Protector Wolf Shifter series, and picks up in the same moment that book one, Shadow Wolf, ended in. Thus, it is very important to read book one first, to understand the story and not be lost or confused about what has happened and is happening. Once again, told from the dual perspectives of Tamaska and Kodiak as their epic love story continues.
Kodiak with no choice had finally told Tamaska what he is. Due to her childhood trauma of being attacked and scared by a dog attack her fears overwhelm her as she rejects Kodiak and all that he is even when she knows her words were a lie the moment, she said them. Her fear makes her believe that it’s not possible but her heart breaks for him and the distance she keeps from him. Tamaska has one goal, find the Blood Opal, and get her life back to normal. Kodiak, though broken hearted, is determined to keep Tamasha safe while also completing his mission of finding the Opal and figuring out why everyone wants it. Is it just for the money or something else? Since the night of what she thought was a normal event she has been caught in the middle of the darkness that lurks in the shadows, humans oblivious to the constant threat to their lives as they know it. The missing blood opal was just the beginning.
Who will find the blood opal first? Why is the blood opal so important to the vampires, and to the Alpha? While the world was built in book one the shadows continue to come into the light as Tamaska and Kodiak both dig deeper into the theft that uprooted both of their lives. The characters grow and learn to overcome their fears as well as sticking to their beliefs in what the right thing to do is. Giving you some answers from the first book the author makes sure you have plenty of more questions in your mind keeping you guessing and in complete anticipation of book three, Rogue Wolf. I am so glad I impatiently waited for book three to come out before finally digging into book two, so that I don’t have to wait to see what happens next.
