Review: Dire Needs by Stephanie Tyler

Dire Needs

by StephanieTyler

(Eternal Wolf Clan # 1)

I am really enthralled by the Dires world.  The dires are basically werewolves but they are more.  Sexier, more alpha, more badass, more tortured.  Right up my alley!  Their job is to protect humans from werewolves and cover their tracks to keep their existence under cover.  They are immortal and lonely.  Oh and did I mention they have a sexy tattoo of their wolf?  Well, it's like a natural tattoo when they change their first time they wolf comes out.  Love that!

This book is all about Rifter.  He is the leader of the Dires.  He is at a point where he is almost ready to die.  Too bad they can't.  He goes into a bar to find a female shifter to spend the night with but ends up very attracted to a human female.  He normally doesn't go for humans, ever.  But Gwen is it for him tonight.  And she takes him up on his offer because she has actually just being given very little time to live.  Some rare disease that causes her to have seizures.

Gwen will come to play an important role in the Dire Pack dynamic when they find out who she is, but the chemistry between her and Rifter was off the charts great!

The Dires are now fighting against Seb, and I have to say I kind of really like this bad guy.  Something about him and his past that I just want to know more, know his motives, know what makes him tick.

Now onto my complaint, yes I have one.  Even though there's some action, there's romance and there are quite a few smexy scenes oozing alphaness, I feel this book suffered from a major case of First Book Syndrome.  There was a lot of information in the book that I thought at times was not needed.  Maybe it will be important info in the future but it overwhelmed this book.

The rest of the Dires are a very intriguing bunch, I really can't wait to read their stories.  I am kind of the most intrigued by Vice, and he seems like he has the most issues at times.  I look forward to reading more about him as the series goes on.

I really liked the whole process of the mating between Rifter and Gwen, it wasn't without emotion and a lot of drama around them, and towards the end of this book it was nonstop and had my full attention.

Review + Giveaway: Dire Warning by Stephanie Tyler

Dire Warning

by Stephanie Tyler

(Eternal Wolf Clan # 0.5)

A breathtaking new tale of the Dire Wolves, from the bestselling author of Dire Needs…

Immortal and invincible, Rifter is the head of the last surviving pack of Dire Wolves—a band of Alpha brothers charged with protecting the Weres. But now that witches have joined forces with nefarious weretrappers, it’s a perfect storm for double trouble. When the murder of a human points to a wolf, along with the threat of the packs being outted to the world, the Dires fear that something even more dangerous is out there hiding in the dark, something waiting for the right time to show itself.

Includes a letter from the author and a teaser chapter from Dire Needs.

I cannot tell you how much I've been dying to dive into this series!  The premise of it is so interesting.  First of all it has two of my most favorite things, werewolves and bad boy bikers.  This combination is bound to make this a kick-ass series.

I liked the fact we got this prequel because it takes care of explaning the world of the Weres and the Dire Wolves.  The Dires are a group of to-die-for bad boys.  They stumble upon a human's death that is being called a werewolf attack.  Now it's their job to protect the secrecy of the supernatural community and prove this claim wrong.

To do that they will have to infiltrate a Paranormal Investigation group, team up with a girl who can talk to ghosts and chase down some rogues.

I loved the fact that the Dires also have some extra abilities.  I know the first book in this series is about the Dires Alpha, Rifter, but even though we got to see some of him in this story we also got to focus on other members of the team.

Definetely has me wanting more of these bad boys!
