A review by lynseyisreading
Spiral of Need by Suzanne Wright

3.0

Dominant wolf and Seer, Ally Marshall, is falsely accused of murder by her own pack in a devastating betrayal of trust. She's soon transferred to a new pack (The Mercury Pack) for her own safety. The only problem? Pretty much every member of this new pack hates Seers with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.

Well... I really wanted to like this one more than I did because I fell instantly, head-over-heels in love with Ally's character right from page one. She was funny, snarky, intelligent, witty, all in the face of being harshly misjudged and mistreated, which nicely stoked my indignation centres on her behalf. She was amazing and for probably about the first three quarters of this book, I was tootling along nicely and heading for a 4-star finish. But, ultimately, my problem with this book was the sex. The copious amounts of it and the pornographic nature of it. Essentially, I wish I could have picked Ally up and transplanted her into an Urban Fantasy instead so I could have enjoyed more of all the good stuff: Ally, the wordbuilding and pack dynamics - both of which were great - and the mystery plot which was tight. And even the romantic parts of the romance. Sadly, it was just too rude for this prude and I suspect all further instalments will follow suit.

A 3-star read overall for me, but perfect for fans of steamier than average PNRs.
