I was not a huge fan of the first book in this series, Raised by Wolves. As my issues were with the story and not the writing (Barnes is a pretty good writer), I decided to read the sequel, Trial By Fire, because I was curious to see where the author was taking the story. I was completely unprepared for how sucked in I would get by this story! Trial by Fire starts approximately nine months after the events at the end of Raised by Wolves. As Alpha of the young Cedar Ridge Pack, Bryn is determined to lead with love and respect instead of fear and intimidation. Bryn is happy, her weres are happy and the special connection that she has with Chase is stronger than ever. It is in this season of contentment that the trouble starts and when trouble comes for Bryn, it hits like a hurricane! Trial by Fire introduces Bryn to new situations, new conflicts (both internal and external) and new characters with new powers. Speaking of characters, Bryn’s character is a lot more mature in Trial by Fire. She is no longer the girl who gets into trouble just to upset Callum. Bryn is now her own Alpha who puts the safety and security of her pack before everything else. Chase’s character is also more developed and I am glad we get to know him better and learn why he is the strong silent type. I didn’t think it possible, but I love Devon, Lake and Ali even more than I did in the first book. These characters are so well written! Trial by Fire is wonderfully complex with great plot twists, a few I saw coming and most that took me completely by surprise. This is an awesome story that moves at a fast, steady and exciting pace. I read this book on the edge of my seat and cannot wait for the next in the series. I will admit that I have not read many werewolf books, but this is easily my favorite one. Content: Kissing and violence.

This is late. Or as late as anything can be that doesn't have an actual deadline. And these book reports or whatever the fuck they are certainly don't help matters. I seriously finished this and another book over a month ago and I've found myself slowing down my reading because I don't want the bother of articulation. Of course that's only part of the story, the other part is that I'm just out of phase at the moment. So maybe this will get things going again. After all, I'm only 43 books from goal and I've the better half of a year ahead of me. But you didn't tune in for my meta musings on the project, no, if you're tuning in at all, you have a passing interest in whatever the hell I'm reading or in this case, have read. And that's the other factor in my delay. Put simply, I wanted to have something meaningful to say about this book and I just don't. At this point I don't even want to sketch out the theme or tackle the question of whether it's genre fiction or literary fiction or whether the meditations on identity (I mean the core questions of who we are and how we know it) in the book hang together or are just literary parlor tricks. What I do want, is to say that this book was important to me. Not earth-shattering, Armageddon kind of important, but it resonated with me and it left something of a stain. And I do mean stain. This is a dirty little book full of dark things and unhappy endings. There's a deconstruction at work in these stories and it's all the more disturbing for having constantly caught me unaware. The only certainty here is the city itself (New York--certainly its own character) and some mediation of author and protagonist. In the final story of the trilogy, Auster breaks that mediation decisively to tell us that *this central thing* is what the entire book is about... but as many times as I read this disclosure, and the preceding pages, and the pages after it, I was dumbfounded. I cannot provide you with either a synopsis or a demarcation of this book so I'm calling it, which is what I meant to do in the first place. If you want more from me on this I'll be happy to sit down over some drinks. (4.5/5)
