Series: Raised by Wolves #3
Bryn knows first-hand that being the alpha of a werewolf pack means making hard decisions, and that being human makes things a thousand times worse. She’s prepared to give up her humanity, but the wolf who promised to Change her is waiting – though for what, Bryn doesn’t know. Still human, she must take her place in the werewolf Senate, the precarious democracy that rules the North American packs. Standing side by side with werewolves who were ancient long before she was ever born is enough of a challenge, but Bryn soon learns that the Senate has been called to deal with a problem: the kind of problem that involves human bodies, a Rabid werewolf, and memories that Bryn, Chase, and the rest of their pack would rather forget. With bodies stacking up and political pressure closing in from all sides, Bryn and her pack are going to have to turn to old enemies and even older friends for help – especially when it starts to look like this time, the monster might be one of their own.

And as the conflict with Napoleon marches toward Waterloo, and Brussels surrenders to bedlam, Suzanne and Malcolm will be plunged into the search for the truth–revealing an intricate labyrinth of sinister secrets and betrayal within which no one can be trusted. . .
So, that’s what’s on my wishlist this week – what’s on yours?
I’m glad you like the meme, but as it was an original meme at BCC and the fact we have decided not to do it any more, I handed it over to Vickie at http://www.cosy-books.com so your posts should direct peeps to her site. Also, I had button designed specifically (as it says ‘Book Chick City’) so if you could use a different one that would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

I’m so sorry! It’s fixed now – I realized you had changed the meme owner but hadn’t gotten to adding the new link – thank you for pointing it out!
Ooh, new Raised by Wolves. I wasn’t in love with the second book in the series, although it was good – I think because it’s so improbable that a human could maintain Alpha status in a werewolf pack (which means, 1. I’m reading a lot of Patricia Briggs, and 2. I’m ignoring the improbability of werewolves themselves!)
Anyway, I want to pick up the third book, and hopefully it’ll go back to being ohmygoshawesome.
I read my first Eloisa James book last year and I loved it.
I agree with Lauren, I didn’t love the second book in the Raised by Wolves series (for different reasons) but I’m still curious how it ends.
Oh! Which EJ book did you read?
