Shadow Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 1) by Lilliana Rose – Review by Helen Dawkins

Shadow Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series.

It is in dual POV of the two main characters, Tamaska and Kodiak.

Tamaska is a woman who is on the path to success. She is an event coordinator, and the auction of the Blood Opal may be her ticket to her own company.

Kodiak is the beta in the Wolf Shifter Pack. The pack is having to learn how to adapt to modern times. They have created the Shadow Protection company to earn an income as security. In addition to their modern job, they are meant to protect all humans. Everything had been smooth with the vampires, or was it all a smoke screen?

Kodiak and his team were last-minute security added to Tamaska’s event. Immediately, they had a strong distaste for each other, but neither could deny the immense attraction. During the event, Kodiak notices the presence of vampires. While his sole duty was to stand guard at the glass case, he left his post for a mere second in order to save Tamaska, who was drugged by a vampire.

Will they get the blood opal back? Is it even possible for a relationship to blossom between Kodiak and Tamaska? One is a wolf shifter who hates humans, and the other is a human who hates dogs.

What is so special about the blood opal that makes everyone want it so badly?

I love the storyline and plot. It is a wonderful mystery of who is lying, who is on whose side, and ultimately what is everyone’s motives. The heated scenes with Tamaska and Kodiak are amazing.

With saying all of that, I strongly dislike ALL of the characters…. they are all insanely immature and slightly annoying. I completely understand the push/pull dynamic with Tamaska and Kodiak, but when it is explaining their thoughts, they are very whiny and sometimes don’t even make any sense. The entire Shifter pack I dislike as well. It seems that literally none of them care for each other.

I will continue to read the next book because of the storyline, and I hope the characters get better along the way.
