Angel's Blood by Sallyann Phillips
Who’s afraid of Octavia wolf? The answer is me. Octavia
(Tavi) Johns is a female werewolf not to be messed with. She has been on the
run since she was born. Losing her mother young to an evil wolf pack and being
trained by her dad to cope with any adversary, she is tough and mistrustful.
Sallyann has created in Tavi a wonderful heroine. She is flawed, complex and a
very strong female character. What I loved best about the book is the dynamics
of the wolf pack. There is order and rules, but also the moral code of
protecting the weakest and being there for each other. The author has made her
characters unapologetically wolf; they have short fuses and strong emotions
which often boil up. Conflicts are often settled in violent fights. After that,
the loser cedes rank, hands are shook and respect is often earned rather than resentment
lingering on. I also love the romantic story line of a wolf finding her mate.
The notion of a wolf mating for life and not being able to live without his
mate is beautiful. Love, family and belonging are some of the excellent themes
in this book. I did have some issues with editing and I have contacted the
writer, but top marks for the plot and characters.
