I received a copy of this e-book and am voluntarily leaving an honest opinion.

Reece has spent 10 years away from his family in N. Carolina. He has been in Chicago because of a dream..of a red-headed woman. He can't see her face but he knows he needs to save her because she is his mate.

Hannah has been running since she was 18, from full-blooded shifters who are out to kill those who aren't full blooded. She has been in Chicago for 3-4 months working at a coffee café. She feels like she may be leaving soon as she is feeling she is being watched for several days in a row. One morning, a half block from her job, she is attacked. Luckily her boss was watching for her and runs to help but Hannah was also fighting for her life. The attacker flees.

The police are called and Reece comes to investigate and he sees her and knows she is the one...his mate.

Can he keep Hannah safe? Can he convince her she is safe with him? Will she finally realize he is her mate?

Hannah is very wary of Reece as he tries to keep her safe. She doesn't believe he cares because she was told from as far back as she can remember that wolf/human mixed had to die. She was taught to protect herself. Reece takes her back to his home and pack in N. Carolina and feels they won't welcome her. But she will never have a chance if she doesn't survive her attacker....

I really did like this book but feel that 1 or 2 issues were left unresolved. Does it affect the story? No but one of the issues was quite the shock to Hannah. I probably would have given it a 5 if these issues were resolved.

I loved the N. Carolina pack Reece belonged too and his brother was as awesome as Reece. Their relationship was heartwarming.

I would recommend this book to those that enjoy Shifter stories

another superbly written paranormal by N.J. Walters. Great plot and romance.

'Wolf in Her Soul' by N.J. Walters is Book 8th in the "Salvation Pack". This is the story of Reece Gallagher and Hannah Burdette. I feel this is easily a standalone book.
Reece had a dream about his mate where he saw the back of her and he has been trying to find her. Reece even moved to Chicago from North Carolina to locate her but now its 10 years later. Reece has not found her and he has given up and wants to head home. But there are some half wolves that are being murdered and he needs to help with the case.
Hannah is attacked she tries to fight going to the hospital but the medial workers insist that she goes. There they notify the cops who send Detective Reece to the case. Reece doesn't know her but when she turns around wanting to leave the hospital he realizes who she is to him. Hannah is his mate and he will do anything to protect her. Hannah is used to running and thinks to do this after being attacked but Reece stands in her way. Reece wants to help her and she goes forward with him...giving him her trust.
Loved their story.

Wolf in her Soul may be the 8th book in N.J Walters Wolf Pack series, but I can absolutely say that not having read any of the previous books was of no detriment. If anything, I'm simply intrigued over how each couple in the pack came to be. Anyhoo, this one focuses on cop and half-breed (really 3/4's), Reece, and Hannah, also a half-breed and one who has someone hell bent on ending her time on earth. Not on Reece's watch.

"She was his to protect. The reason for everything he’d done his entire adult life."

This held pretty much everything I want to find in a paranormal read. The pace was good, the chemistry between Reece and Hannah is filled with heat and passion, it has some intrigue and action and a vast array of secondary characters who bring value overall. And it brings emotion as Hannah is a wolf without a pack: she's had no one watching her back until now and whilst she was at first frustrating with her pulling back from Reece, it was understandable and she really does find her feet as the story unfolds.

"...he was willing to die, to kill for her. And she was willing to do the same for him. That was a rare and precious thing."

My first read from N.J Walters won't be my last.

This was a quick read and I enjoyed the story. I liked the Reece a little more than I did Hannah, but it was still a fun read and got me interested in other characters in the series.

This is a quick moving story that I just loved. While it is part of a series, this is the first book that I've read by the author and don't feel like I missed anything from the story. Having said that, I will go back and read the earlier books - I just enjoyed it that much.

Reece is a police detective that responds when Hannah is assaulted. He immediately realizes that she is part wolf, as she realizes he is full wolf. As her attacker was full wolf, she is frightened by Reece, but he immediately recognizes her as his mate and makes it his mission to protect her and take care of her. With Hannah's difficult childhood, she is very wary and this adds lots of angst to their relationship.

Between the attack, the paranormal, and the romance, this is a thoroughly entertaining novel that fans of the genre will love. I'm looking forward to working my way through the authors' backlist and only wish I'd discovered her sooner.

I definitely should have investigated more, then I would have realised that this was the eighth book in the series.

While I did enjoy the story, I felt there were things I had missed having not read the previous books. Guess this means I best be catching up, so I can read this one again!

Seriously this series is one that will capture you right away. I have read some from this author but do not know how I missed this especially with my love of packs. The intrigue starts right away with Reece and his job. How he is woven is quite delightful also the part of his other nature. Then quickly we meet Hannah and her part unravels. We are quickly given the situation that brings them together with you the reader being a goner. The hunt and the chase is on with the anticipation on what is next grabbing you . I finished this quite quckly with also loving the mate part that had heat searing this into one scrumptious mysterious read.

3.5 stars.
The 8th book of the salvation pack series and one of many in N.J. Walters Massive collection.
I have to be honest and say that although I didn't dislike this story, I probably would have appreciated it more had I read the previous stories in the series. Although you can get away with reading it as a standalone .. I missed that connection and understanding of the side characters and their history.

Reece took a huge risk by separating himself from his pack/ family in the hopes of a dream coming true. 10 years later it was certainly taking his tole and he was at breaking point. By chance he takes a call that leads him to what he's been searching for the past 10 years. Will his dreams come true?. Or will they run before he even gets a taste of happiness.
Hannah was on her own living in a constant state of fear always having one foot out the door ready to run. Having been abandoned by the only person she trusted and loved the most, she most definitely had serious trust issues. Would she learn to trust her mate?. Or will she run from the unknown.

The story had a little of everything from suspense, to horror. Romance to heartbreak.. and even a little humour thrown in. I enjoyed the fact that we got a peak into the killers head, it was different and definitely gave you a better idea of what was happening. The author wrote it very well with a clear difference between all of the POV'S. The romance was more along the lines of insta love which is to be expected with shifters and it was written well. A good build of sexual tension and a definite connection between both characters.

I feel a few things were iffy with me which is why I didn't give it 5 stars.

The first being that I didn't feel there was a good enough explanation of Hannah's father and the ending didn't really tie that up. A brief explanation wasn't enough for me and still left me with lots of questions... I don't want to go into detail and spoil anything but yes I feel there is more questions than answers.

I didn't really feel a connection between the side characters and the main with the exception of Reece's brother and uncle. And while I know it's not essential I do like to feel connected to them in some manner because I envision packs to be closer than anything else, however they felt a little cold to me.

I also felt like i needed more of them in the end, happy and their involvement in pack life. How they adjusted, friendships that they made etc..


Back on a good note.. all together it's a well rounded story with a good original plot and a good variety of emotions.

I kindly received this ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is Book 8 of the Salvation Pack series. Although I would seriously recommend you read the series in order, or at the very least the first couple of books, it can be read as a standalone but you will miss out on the significance of the more intricate relationships and backstories.

You can’t help but like Reece and Hannah. Reece has taken a massive leap of faith, separating himself from his pack and his family for 10 years, on the basis of a dream. Hannah, too, must take a leap and decide if she’ll trust Reece and his pack, or run off on her own.

As usual with these books there is a serious case of instalove, but it is well done. I liked the fact that despite Reece declaring his intentions from almost the first moment (he had been waiting for her for 10 years, it’s only natural that he’s ahead in the emotional stakes), it takes Hannah a much longer time to conquer the misinformation she had been told since she was a child and to decide what she feels for Reece is more than simply lust. Trust must be earned after all.

I enjoyed getting inside the villain’s head. It kept you guessing his true motivations, although little titbits were dropped here and there it wasn’t until much later in the book that everything comes together. It was great for keeping the suspense up through the entire book.

This is still a relatively new author for me and I am steadily working through her back catalogue of books. Having said that, I haven’t yet read anything I haven’t enjoyed. She has a nice and easy writing style that flows well. Her world building is consistent and her characters are well developed with the main characters genuinely likeable and the villains suitably dastardly!

If you enjoy paranormal romance, I would recommend giving this author a go.

It's been awhile since I visited Salvation but I easily fell back into this storyline and in love with these characters. Reece is all grown up and I loved getting to see him as a detective and finding his own happily ever after. Hannah was pretty good as a female lead for Reece and I liked her better as she got more comfortable and. There wasn't much mystery to this one though and was dealt with rather quickly but I enjoyed Hannah and Reece's chemistry.
I will say if you haven't had a chance to read this series you may not fall into it as quickly bc these are recurring characters and a world that's built on each time.
This was a complimentary advanced reader copy that was gifted to me by the author/ publisher in exchange for a honest review via Netgalley.

Detective Reece Gallagher and his partner have been called to a murder scene. The killer set fire to the body to destroy the evidence. Reece is a half breed werewolf and knows that the victim is as well.
Hannah Burdette has always kept a low profile to stop anyone finding out what she is. Her werewolf father drummed it in to her that she will always be in danger.
With a vicious killer on the loose Chicago is no longer a safe place to be. This particular killer has an agenda he has been carrying out for years, but when he stumbles across one of the reasons for his rage it gets more personal.
Our heroine has been abandoned by those who should love her, and that has made her strong and very self sufficient.
Our hero is a born protector, but life in the big city is proving too much. It's time to return to his living family.
This is part of a series but easily read alone. It will however tempt you to go and find the others. A very exciting read.

The eighth book in the Salvation Pack series sends us a wee bitty into the future... we first met teenage Reece in Wolf on a Mission when he brought his two half-breed nephews to Salvation. I would say this is a book that will be enjoyed more if you have read the others in the series, but not completely unenjoyable as a standalone.

I enjoyed this book with Detective Reece and Hannah and the extended pack when they return to the pack for her safety and seeing all the characters from earlier books... as always it left me (im)patiently waiting for the next in the series!
