*I received my review copy through NetGalley free of charge in exchange for posting my thoughts on the book.* If there are only a few books that you add to your "to-read" list this year make sure one of them is Wolfsbane! You won't regret it. I stand in awe of these incredible books and the uber-talented Ronie Kendig. Wolfsbane is by far my favorite of the series. Sure, most of us aren't a part of a covert ops team but we are exposed to some of the same difficult choices and crossroads on our faith walks that Dani and Canyon faced. The best thing about Wolfsbane are these "real" characters who make real-life mistakes. From the rain-soaked jungles to the courtroom to crazy dangerous secret missions to almost as dangerous family get togethers, each step of Dani and Canyon's is a challenge that you get to experience with them. The storyline and the suspense grabbed me by the throat and tore at my heart so that I could not set it aside.Įvery second of this book took me on a journey. I started the book before bed vowing to read a chapter or two and I ended up tearing through over half of the book. Wolfsbane, the latest installment in this thrilling series is no different. With each book I'm totally shocked and surprised by the bad guy, the setting plot twists but most of all by Ronie Kendig's ability to make me feel connected to the story. I know that it's going to be suspenseful and romantic but that's about as predictable as this series gets. Both Canyon and Dani must face the horrors of the past, risking death at the hands of a sadistic terrorist or the possibility of a lifetime of imprisonment for crimes they didn't commit.Īs a fan of the Discarded Heroes series it's hard to wait patiently for the next book. Danielle Roark, an explosives expert who was captured and tortured after a mission gone wrong in the jungles of South America is at the end of her rope until the handsome Metcalfe brothers come to her rescue time and again. Thanks to the publishers through FIRST for my copy to review.Ĭanyon "Midas" Metcalfe a member of the Nightshade black ops team is tortured by his past and pain has manifested itself both emotionally and physically and it has him in a death grip. I was lost in a world I’ve never seen and man, I can’t get the story out of my head. The characters are deep and wide, 3D characters! The plot is intense (there’s that word again). Their story flies across the pages and I loved every single second of it. A great hero, a heroine who hasn’t let the past drag her down. With some mature themes, I loved Canyon and Dani. I don’t easily follow all the tactical moves the guys of Nightshade do, but Ronie’s writing keeps me riveted. Ronie understands how to keep and grab the reader’s attention. Every single one throws you from word to word, catapults you from sentence to sentence and let’s not even start on paragraphs or chapter endings. While I was reading, I tried to pinpoint what keeps this book so fast-paced. Man! From dialogue to setting to character to the ACTION, this book doesn’t rest for a single second. Let’s just drag that word out for a teensy bit. I haven’t had such a thrilling ride in a while. And Range? I’ll have to wait until the end of this year (2022) to understand why he was obsessed with Dani and what happened after leaving his entire Metcalfe clan behind. Their faith journey that allows them to finally understand redemption and forgiveness is quite rewarding. Canyon’s past in the army, Dani’s captivity, and international intrigue and struggle for power collide to create an explosive plot that will have you gasping as you turn the pages. Dani is a paradox of sweetness, strength, vulnerability, iron will, hurt, and longing. If you love romantic suspense, you will love this book.Ĭanyon has been the cool, level-headed soldier on the team but we get to see his passionate, impulsive, stubborn, haunted side of this brilliant combat medic that only Dani brings out in him. I’m reading Ronie Kendig’s books almost backwards (I’ve already met Canyon’s siblings Leif, Stone and Willow through other series) and I’ve loved every minute of getting to know Canyon and the Nightshade team. The action, suspense, plots twists, depth of emotions, and growth and stretching of the characters are absolutely mind-blowing. I have loved the previous two books in the Discarded Heroes series but this third book is in a category of its own. Wow, I can see why this book won a Christy award.
