Publisher's summary

The Branded Packs series from NYT best-selling authors Alexandra Ivy and Carrie Ann Ryan continues with two dark and heated shifter romances.

Buried

Gibson Barton knows his Pack is on the verge of something they will never be able to prepare for: a chance at freedom. Yet when he's finally able to open his eyes to what might be his fate, it could be too late.

As a submissive wolf of her Pack, Mandy Calhoun has always only watched Gibson from afar. Because of her fears, she hasn't let her intentions toward him - or the other in her sights - be known.

Oliver Dare is the Foreseer of the Ursine Pack, and knows with each vision, his death is that much closer. Yet he cannot see his own future - or that of the two wolves who have been thrust into his path.

There is danger lurking in the den, and as the three learn to process their emotions and navigate their temptations, they'll have to fight for something they never knew they had - or sacrifice it all for a purpose far greater than their own destinies.

Shadowed

Sinclair, Alpha of the Unseen Pack, is determined to destroy the Shifter Accommodation Unit. He understands that his people will never be free until the truth is revealed and their enemies are brought out of the shadows and exposed to the public. Unfortunately, the human female who has been secretly working with him has disappeared, and his priorities must shift slightly. He's resolved to track her down, and not just because she has the information he needs.

Mira Reese isn't stupid. She's painfully aware that the sexy shifter she's been working with has been using her fascination for him to gain access to the CDC computer system. But that doesn't stop her from helping Sinclair. Not when it allows her to be close to him. But after the CDC kidnaps her, she realizes that this isn't a game. She's a potential savior for the future of the shifters - and perhaps especially the loner wolf who stirs her passions.

Great series

This is the 3rd and last book of the series, Branded Packs, and the authors did not disappoint. It would be nice to have another book to revisit all of the characters. For a short time, I felt a part of the pack. The series has romance, suspense, and jealousy. This pair is a great writing duo!

Two complimentary stories

This is two stories that are different but yet involve the same problems and a few of the same people. The stories move along at a rapid pace and have action, suspense and lust. The characters make you feel for them and with them. I almost enjoyed the Shadowed story a bit more. Mira is a strong female to do what she does then Sinclair is a typical alpha male. There is also a secondary couple that is spicy as well.

I did listen to this on audio. Aiden Snow is the narrator and he did wonderful on both stories.

Keeps getting better!!

Aiden narration brings the next installment of Branded Packs to life and he continues to have me hooked on this series.

Gibson and Oliver are critical to the survival of the shifters but are scared to admit their feelings for each other or their perfect submissive, Mandy. But the inner strength of this submissive is what they need to bring this triad together.

Sinclair is positively sinful when he finally acknowledges his feelings for Mira and his possessive, growly alpha comes out. Mira is brilliant and there is nothing she can’t do with a computer and the Internet. Including solving the mystery behind the virus and helping the shifters set the world straight.

Exciting Well Written Series

The Branded Packs series was excellent. Quality throughout, from writing to storyline, to characters that move seamlessly from book to book. Alexandra and Carrie Ann really work well together to create a thrilling, action packed series that also has enough romance to satisfy all of us.

Finally of Branded Pack

The final book of the branded Pack series was amazing I enjoyed it these two authors wrote a excellent action packed and suspense paranormal romance that I will definitely revisit. Aiden Snow voice is just perfect so seductive and growly. defenitly recommend and totally worth it should be read in order to get the full picture of how the Branded Pack fought for their rights to be free

Love this whole series

Aden did an awesome job on this book, his voices were perfect.
i have read and listened to all the books in this series and have loved them.all

Good addition to this series

This last installment of this series was a pretty good read that I enjoyed from the start. In this installment, secrets are revealed and more bonds are formed as this series comes to an unfortunate end. The loose ends are resolved in what continues to be a hot yet action packed read that kept me hooked from the beginning. The narration from Aiden Snow was performed well making it an enjoyable listening experience as he did a great job bringing the story to life. Overall, this was a good read that I would recommend to others but am sorry to see end.

Buried and Shadowed

I love this book. narration by Aiden Snow was perfect. He brings books alive with his voice like no other. This was a prefect end to the series. I loved it so much I wish it was longer. I now have to move on the another series narrated by Aiden Snow.

Buried and Shadowed

These stories are entertaining and very interesting with lots of action, I love the characters.

The narration was good

Great stories and conclusion to the series :D

Buried
Time: 0:00-3:12

This was a great story and I really enjoyed it. This story is about a menage between a trio...Gibson (the tattooist for the wolves), Mandy (a submissive wolf) and Oliver (the foreseer of the Bears). They all have a mutual attraction but they have been separate up until now because of different reasons. In this story, they finally come together and I liked seeing them become mates. There is some addition drama/danger taking place as well....one part gets settled and the other is a progress with the SAU and their imprisonment (but things are still a bit iffy). I do wish it had been a bit longer because while Gibson, Mandy and Oliver are a trio of mates at the end, I would have liked to see how their particular situation (I can't say more without spoilers) plays out.

Shadowed
Time: 3:12-6:55

**mild spoiler - I let slip the fate of the shifters in general, no details**

This was a great story and conclusion to the series. Mira and Sinclair made an unlikely but well matched pair that I really liked as characters and as a couple (once they worked everything out). While Mira and Sinclair are working through their relationship issues, they're on the run from the SAU and taking the last steps in bringing out the truth and getting the shifters freed. Things will still be difficult and there will be years of prejudice to get past but things look very hopeful in the end.

I really liked both stories in this book and loved how things finally turned out. I do wish maybe there was a spin-off series that tells how things go for the shifters once they're free and reintegrating into the world but I guess the open- endedness gives you room to dream. Overall, I really liked the series and would recommend it. :)
