Mystery, magic, and more hidden secrets. That’s what Relics of the Wolf is focused upon.
Luna has, with all the betrayals, attacks, and bad news about her mother arriving together, decided to go full force with her wolf. It being the best way to ensure her safety and others survival.
The complex dynamics within Luna’s mother’s pack is one that is more feral, and less humanized than many other stories I’ve read. I appreciate this aspect even more because the Alpha is female, ruthless in running the pack as she works towards its future.
The story lines that Buroker is building, ones that include Luna and her pack, are among the strongest in the series. From the pack dynamics to the werewolves and their own history, the author is developing this element with each character and book. She’s revealing more about their mythology, genetics, and connections to other paranormal beings.
Luna is still a strong character, evolving her story and her wolf into a powerful role and magical being. I can’t wait to see more.
Duncan just continues to be an issue. He’s not a consistently well defined character, and I need that to be invested in him. For his part in Luna’s journey and me as a reader. The author does supply him with a newly revealed history but oddly, it didn’t make him any more believable here. It’s not a well constructed element. I’m just not connecting with him. Or this part of the story. It’s all too apparent.
Bolin remains outstanding. More of Bolin. Maybe let us in on his parents, too.
The shifter elements are exciting, Luna is fabulous, the Pack itself is full of complicated characters and hidden inter-pack political elements that add suspense and depth to the scenario.
Moving swiftly to the next book to see how the story develops.
Another winner for lovers of paranormal werewolf fiction and urban fantasy thrillers.

When Luna decided to reclaim her werewolf heritage, she had no idea what she was in for.
Frustrated, angry, and betrayed, she must find the mysterious artifact she lost, unravel the politics of the pack, and defend against attempts on her life.
With everything intertwined, she has a daunting road ahead, and her conflicting feelings about the lone werewolf, Duncan, aren’t helping anything. She doubts she can trust him, no matter how charming he is, but she may need to if she wants to get to the bottom of her troubles—and survive the week.
