Our heroine this time out is Carol Woods, a nurse who has been turned into a red lupus garou.  She fights the restrictions of her situation, drawing on her psychic powers to forestall shifting as she struggles to maintain a somewhat normal human life.  Her pack leader, however, insists that Carol must find a mate and come to terms with her wolf side.  Now a virus is endangering members of her pack, and Carol must work alongside Chaz McKinley to try to save their pack.

Wolf Fever is the sixth werewolf novel by Terry Spear.  Like her other novels in this series, it can be read as a totally standalone novel, but returning fans will enjoy the brief glimpses of the continuing lives of characters from her previous novels. It is the third novel in this series that I have read and each somehow seems better than the one before.  I had been eagerly awaiting Wolf Fever and it did not disappoint! I wish I had more than 5 klovers to offer. 

Carol and Chaz have fantastic chemistry, and the tension of the desire they are fighting alongside the deadly spreading disease in their midst adds page-turning excitement that just doesn’t stop. Spear’s trademark of using realistic wolf characteristics and behavior remains refreshingly delightful as does her introduction of secondary characters and subplots within the main storyline. Savor this one slowly because Spear’s next wolf series book, tentatively titled Heart of the Highland Wolf, is not due out until June 2011.

Let's see.. what to tell you about me.... well I'm an academic librarian and deal with stuffy boring books (I'm a mathematics librarian) so fiction is my fun outlet. My passions include ballroom dancing, bichon frise rescue work, reading (duh!) and if I had time, I'd get back to my quilting, scrapbooking, jewelry making, etc. Sigh. I really need to find my rich prince who tells me I never have to work again. LOL. Genre's that I prefer: Inspirational romance, gentle romance (Like Harlequin Medical, etc), romantic comedy and paranormal (unless they get too dark and gritty) to name a few. I love books with themes/characters of animals, librarians, dancers, trainers, ministers/missionaries, etc. Having said this, I read pretty broadly from the inspirational fiction line all the way to Blazes and chick lit. The only thing I don't really care for it erotica. I don't care for the starkness of the erotica genre. I guess I just like things wrapped up and tied with a prettier satin bow. :-)

    Thanks so much for the delightful review, Crystal! If readers are interested, I’ve got a blog tour coming up to give away free copies of Wolf Fever, and anyone who signs up for a newsletter on my website, will get to read Allure of the Wolf, a different version of Legend of the White Wolf–to tide readers over until the next release! Again, thanks for the wonderful review! I’m off to share it with the whole wide world and I LOVE the icon you’ve created for your recommended read, which I will happily add to my webpage! :)
