Bride of the Wolf by Jennifer St. Giles

Bride of the wolf by Jenniver St. Giles

Bride of the Wolf is written by Jennifer St. Giles in year 2009. This review would first introduce Jennifer St Giles and her glorified background in romance writing, followed by a brief summary of the book, and ending with a brief overview analysis.

Jennifer writes “Contemporary Paranormal for Pocket Books and Gothic-Paranormal Historicals” for Berkley Publishing (quoted from her official homepage). In other words, her stories are filled with vampires, werewolves, and hence all the bloodlust coupled with the romantic side and also suspense for the spice of the story.

The oil heiress Marissa Vasquez had been kidnapped by the Vladarian vampires for her wealth and control for a wealthy and powerful corporate. Along with her, they had captured the shadowman named Navarre who could shapeshift into a wolf. Navarre finally got Marissa out of the vampire’s clutch, and they went on an intensely “exhilarating” process of escape. Along the journey, Marrissa get to know everything of Naverre’s phases of wolf spirit and shapeshiftings, and still trust him very much though her company (her brother and Father Dom), had different view of their hero of the day (for Navarre had also rescued them).

The plot behind the story for the Vladarian vampires to gain full control and to control the world have them all running, escaping, and dodging assassinations and wicked plots and treacheries all along the way until finally, the twist of the story brings them to a peaceful end, but with the main bad guy, the Vladarian vampire, Dr Cinata, still on the loose. This is definitely no twilight series with the kind and soulful Cullens.

The start of this book could send one flipping back repeatedly to the front part to double confirm the names and the role of the people. Without the pre-requisite information of the first four books in the shadowmen series, one might need to grapple around in the dark for a while until the idea is portrayed out, if not the whole picture. The starting of the book is directly the center of the attention, however, without the background understanding of the stories, it could be quite frustrating to gain the right understanding of what is exactly going on. However, the author had resurrected the story by rolling out a beautiful twist and turn to bring us to the centerfold of the finale, and had reassured us that all is well at the end, though the bad guy is still out there.
