Earth Shattering

Holy Smokes!! I've never read L.P.Maxa before this, but I will be from now on! At 191 pages this is a must-read on a rainy day, on the beach, in bed late at night when your insomnia kicks in, at work on your lunch break...basically, it's a must-read anytime anywhere. Steamy, sweet, flirty, snarky, and really well developed in such a short amount of pages. I hadn't read the first 5 in the series but I felt totally engrossed in the characters, Maxa's world, and her lore without it so I think this could be read in any order, but I'd love to go back and read them from the beginning. I loved Blake's carefree, love for life, excitable personality, and felt it meshed so well with Riley's laid-back, quiet, more serious personality. Throw in Jasper and you have a stick of dynamite waiting to explode! I can't wait to read Jasper's story that's for sure!!

I looked the title up before asking for this title but I didn't realize it was the 6th part of a series. This didn't stop me from enjoying it or understanding it. This is a big plus because it means you can start at any point of the story.

I'm dying to know the rest of the pack, tho. All 5 books have been added to my TBR.

The author writes about shifters, and I love paranormal books. I was intrigued about the pack dynamic, the shifting and also the subplot which I won't spoil for you but was really fascinating.

Out two main characters are Riley and Blake. Riley is a sweet, nice guy who is having a hard time adjusting to college, missing his family and his pack that is until a blond beauty barges into his room and forces him into friendship. Blake is a bubby person, loud, funny, sarcastic and dramatic she's my favourite type of person and just adored their relationship. They quickly become best friends... that is until Jasper gets there. Jasper is Riley's best friend and pack mate, closer than family and Riley knows Jasper is going to want to bed Blake.

Queue the snowstorm that traps the three of them in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Tension between the three of them appear, dynamics will shift and things will only complicate themselves when a new threat appears to haunt them and force them all to spend the winter with Riley's complicated family. Of course, we can't forget the fact Blake doesn't know anything about the shifters, the pack or Riley's family past. Can she fit in the middle of their dynamic or will the pack prove to be too much to handle?

This book is totally my cup of tea. From strangers, to friends, to lovers to forever. The hand of fate is one of my favourite topics to read and I just adored the way this story developed. Reading about shifters is always fun.

I think it's worth mentioning that this is a standalone book but the series ceirtainly seems like a great thing to read.
