A dead body. A forbidden attraction. An impending war.
Magic enforcement agent Alyssa Crawford is called to a murder scene involving a dead shifter in hopes her fire magic can help solve the case. Instead, she finds herself dragged back into dealing with the same shifter pack she hoped never to encounter again.
The victim of the magical crime belongs to the Walker Pack—a gang of shifters Alyssa swore she would never get involved in again after Marcus Walker broke her heart. But after conducting a sweep and finding no other clues, Alyssa must find Marcus and accept his help..
Alyssa and Marcus dive deeper into the case, only to be thrust to the forefront of a war they want no part in. And if they can’t set aside both their differences and their growing attraction to each other, they’ll fail to uncover the killer before he strikes again.

Call of the Wolves is book one in the Call of the Wolf series by Adam Dark & Matthew Thrush.
The story begins with a classic forbidden romance: Alyssa, a witch, is in love with Marcus, the Alpha’s son. Predictably, the pack’s inherent loathing for her kind results in her being chased away, setting the stage for their eventual reunion.
While the story was decent, the mystery surrounding the murder and missing persons was far more compelling than the central romance. Alyssa’s constant denial regarding her feelings for Marcus became increasingly frustrating as the plot progressed. Furthermore, despite her claims of professional competence, her investigative skills seemed entirely dependent on her magic identifying the guilty parties rather than actual detective work. Ultimately, while events occur, the story feels like it lacks true traction.
The lack of a real ending was a major letdown. Instead of a resolution, the book just stops at the climax on a cliffhanger. The story I did like leaves me feeling quite unsatisfied, which is frustrating.
Ultimately, Call of the Wolves didn’t quite hit the mark for me. However, if the premise sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d still encourage you to give it a try—just because it wasn’t my cup of tea doesn’t mean it won’t be yours.
Rated: 3 Stars
