Suzanne Wright is One of My favorite authors ever. Wild hunger follows Trick and Frankies relationship and mating and it's probably one of my favorite in the series.
I like how careful Trick is with Frankie but not putting her beneath him ...how easy Frankie accepts her mating and let's be real,no one can write a mating book like Suzanne Wright. Five stars!

Typical Suzanne Wright awesomeness! The h kicks up zero drama and I enjoyed the hell out of that. This quote from the H pretty much summed it right up... “No acting like she was there under protest. No lies or bullshit. No playing it cool. It was fucking refreshing.”

3.5 stars
This was my first Suzanne Wright book and it was a good one. I was a little worried I'd be missing out on the story and characters because I didn't start the series in order but my worries were mostly unfounded (there were a few times I was a little confused or felt like I'm missing the point but not many of them). Sadly I felt the characters were two dimensional, and there were so many it was difficult, at times, to keep up with who was who. I also felt like there wasn't anything else particularly outstanding in the storyline. Just same old stuff I've read in other books with other authors before. But otherwise, if you get past that, Wild Hunger was a fun and sexy book. It was a beautiful look into Frankie and Trick’s love story. The journey to their HEA is, as one would expect, full of intrigue, danger and of course passion. The suspense leading up to the return of Frankie's memory is also a definite page turner.
Overall, it wasn't a bad book. If you’re a Suzanne Wright fan, or fan of shifter romance, you are going to love reading Wild Hunger.

Another fantastic instalment in the Phoenix Pack Saga. The writing as usual was on point enticing us with Suzanne's unique brand of humour and sexiness. My favourite thing about this book is my favourite thing about all of Suzannes's books and that is the kick-ass female's and the protective Alpha males that love them.

I love the feeling of being swept up in a story. Suzanne Wright has a knack of giving me just the right balance of suspense, angst, humour and romance. What sets her books apart from so many others is her ability to make a shifter world take on human dynamics in a realistic and fun way. The worlds she has created mesh together into a familiar rich community of shifters.

In Wild Hunger, Frankie finds herself meeting the side of her family she has long been denied. A family she had no idea existed. The more she becomes acquainted with the Phoenix pack, she feels more and more at home. When Trick recognises the mating pull from her, it gives him an inner peace that helps him muster the patience Frankie needs to adjust to the idea.

Frankie’s life has been clearly mapped out for her by her mother’s family. From the moment they took her in after her parent’s deaths, her future was manipulated to ensure a life that excluded her wolf. Of course, the creative drive she poured into her artwork was a constant reminder that she couldn’t be tamed. Her creativity maintained her sanity and provided her with a level of independence. Trick values and adores Frankie, seeing her art as an extension of his mate to be.

The laid back flow of the relationship made this the perfect comfort read. I was able to read a few chapters at a time, returning to the story as my time allowed. The mysteries provided a challenge we were all determined to solve during the buddy read and I believe looking back over our transcript it was Sparkles who called it first. The revelation and the way the drama unfolded left me with the belief the culprit’s motivations were not as well plotted as the romance was. I still had fun and I am pleased to say the eye rolling moments were minimal.

I’ve hashed out my thoughts on the claiming the mate in every possible way in our buddy read. I get it, but it doesn’t mean I am not slowly getting bored by it all. There were other tangents the story dealt with which initially were done well but then by the end of the book I thought they had been overused. Not a lot of substances to the mystery at the end of the day but the romance was spot on. The ass end of the story didn’t help my eyeball rolling moment but then again, I was bracing myself for it It was a 4 star read right up until the cabin scene and then the pace slowed down more than I wanted it to.

If you’re a Suzanne Wright fan, you are going to love reading Wild Hunger. It will take you to your happy chilled place and discover another perfect comfort read.

This was a very good story, smooth writing likable characters and sexy hot. A must read Fantasy romance!!!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really love reading this series. It's unique. Werewolves are real, humans know about them but not everyone likes them.

Frankie is a great female lead. She snarky, sarcastic, and artistic. Frankie is half wolf, half human. She was (mostly) raised by her grandparents after her mother was tragically killed and her father died. She never got to see anyone in her pack again. In fact, her grandparents had lied to her for her entire life. She never knew she was from a pack at all. Her paternal grandmother is sick and wishes to see her before she does.

Enter Trick, our hero. If you've read the previous books you know who he is. He goes to meet Frankie with Lydia (her aunt) and instantly recognizes his true mate. Frankie doesn't see him as hers yet. Trick is surprisingly patient yet bold in his pursuit of her. He was actually very sweet.

Trivk works to win her over while together they find there may have been more to her parents deaths then previously thought.

Overall, I like the book but it wasn't my favorite in the series. There was alot of relationship angst about or from the hero's previous love interests. I hated Frankie's human family. I get where they came from but what is best for a child may not be for an adult. They ended up hurting her more then anything. I still will recommend the book to readers of the series.

I really enjoyed this one. There is a lot less violence going on here than in the other Phoenix and Mercury books, which allows the story to focus on Frankie and Trick and their relationship. But there is still enough conflict to keep things exciting. I loved both of the protagonists, and they were good for each other. The characters in these two series are what makes this such a great series. I hadn't really paid much attention to Trick previously, but after reading his story he's one of my favorites!

Both the Phoenix Pack and Mercury Pack series continue to be must reads for me. In fact, there hasn't been a series from Suzanne Wright that I didn't fall in love with.

Trick is just like all the other alpha males in the pack. Stubborn, dominant, set in his ways, but also really sweet and willing to take a step back when its called for. I found his willingness to give Frankie time to figure things out quite refreshing. Don't get me wrong, he was there for every moment, but he didn't push her for anything she wasn't ready for. Frankie fit right in with the other woman of the Phoenix Pack. I loved her snark, her interactions with Trey's mom, and her determination at every step of the book. Together they made a really cute, strong couple and worked really well together.

I enjoyed the mystery of WILD HUNGER. I had some clues about what was going on after a bit, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the big reveal. We also get the big action scene at the end that we're used to with this series, but it came on multiple fronts which was a nice surprise.

If you are new to either this or the Mercury Pack series, make sure you read them in release order. They compliment each other perfectly and you can get your fix quicker by reading both. There are only a few Phoenix Pack members left to find their mates, but I will be reading about them as soon as I am able to get my hands on them.

I have been an avid fan of Suzanne Wright's Phoenix Pack books since "Feral Sins", but I can honestly say that Wild Hunger may be my favorite of the series. Trick has always been in the background for me; sort of vague, but interesting. I liked how the author handled his sexual history and how adamant he was about how gender wasn't important to him; only SHE was. He was laser locked on the heroine, Frankie, from the first moment. No fighting, no doubts, no angst; just a dominant/possessive, but attuned male who was there for his mate. And what a heroine the author gave us. Frankie was strong and independent without being bull-headed or stubborn. She never had a TSTL moment and although she was justifiably hesitant of Trick and the pack, she wasn't closed off. She was a great mix of smart, sweet, tough, vulnerable, quirky, and grounded, She handled her relationship with her maternal family in a believable way that never came across as whiny or self pitying, and stood up for herself to them in a way that was just so dang adult and reasonable. The relationship between Trick and Frankie progressed at a believable rate and they ACTUALLY COMMUNICATED WITH EACH OTHER. I loved that they were adults about it and there were no huge misunderstandings.

I enjoyed the suspense portion of the story and how it tied directly into the main characters' story arc. The inclusion of so many characters from previous books can be a bit confusing if the prior books in this and the Mercury Pack series haven't been read, but the author does do a little info/character dump towards the beginning of the book that helps to clarify all the ties (sort of - it is still a lot!) My only quibble is that I thought the different threads of the plot maybe dovetailed a little too conveniently, but it is a minor quibble. I loved the heck out of this book and cannot wait for the next installment.

"Wild Hunger " by Suzanne Wright

***a special thank you to Montlake Romance, Suzanne Wright, and Netgalley for providing an ARC for this review!

SYNOPSIS
When half–wolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didn’t know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her mother…and then himself. Frankie was torn from her pack by her mother’s human relatives, and the trauma was erased from her memory. Realizing that she’s been lied to her entire life, she’s never felt more alone. Until she catches the scent of an old friend—warmly familiar and intoxicating.

Trick Hardy, alpha wolf of the Phoenix Pack, can sense the rush of mutual attraction when he sees Frankie again. He knows immediately that she’s his true mate. But he also knows that, given her fragile state, he needs to tread with care—no matter how fierce his surging desires.

As aroused as Frankie is by Trick’s darkly dominant air and simmering desire, her priority right now is her past—not her future, no matter how tempting. But as more secrets emerge and Frankie’s life is threatened, Trick must do everything he can to keep her close and safe. After all, it’s their destiny.

uhhh omg this author continues to make me obsessed with everyone in this series, seriously I always reread them before every new release - not because I forget but because I enjoy reading them! This book did not disappoint, I have been awaiting Tricks novel since the moment my boy became the 'teller of bonds'. I think my favorite part was the sheer difference from the others, sure it had similar obstacles as all the others do (ill be honest though, lets shake it up and try something different yes?) but it was different in the interaction and initial bond between Trick and Frankie. They enterance of her character was new enough to not totally throw me off, but still close to make connections to previous books. You didn't feel lost regarding if you have never read this series (THOUGH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO!) and it was all connected enough to say 'hey remember this badass'? Such an amazing read!

CHARACTERS
Trick - how long have I been waiting for his book? HOW LONG! many books, that how long! I loved Trick, he was so much fun reading about in all the other books - he's like that pesky best friend that knows your future even before you think you yourself know, but he's like, super asshole smug about it the whole time. Also, he's like the king of "I told you so". Personally, I enjoyed the interaction and the initial feelings he experiences with Frankie - I like that he's all for having someone who holds your entire heart in their hands. He's open and not afraid to challenge, but also patient to let people be weak and slow. He was always one of my favorites and I was super pleased to read his book! it was (as expected honestly) an amazzzzzing read.
Frankie - finally, a female character who a. doesn't mind being vulnerable with someone b. accepts that sometimes things that are moving to fast must simply be accepted (aka the bond) and c. is super fucking cool and needs a million more books with her in it. I loved how she as a character internally dealt with things, she didn't shy away, but she was real enough to be hesitant to trust in other people after ... certain events. Did I mention she's a sculptor who creates creepy shit? no? well she's a sculptor who creates creepy shit... and I want them.
THE STORY
please mind me for a moment while I take the time to overtly fangirl about this freaktastic author and her ability to make me laugh, keep every story super unique, but repetitive enough to know its going to be a struggle and a great reward. I love that Suzanne Wright can make every story unique, I loved the change in pace from all her other books in this one - I loved that the initial bond between the two characters was accepted as a "thing" and was bound to happen, but they wanted time to build into each others lives before saying "well lets play the mattress mumbo and go for a bite that essentially will bind us for eternity" ... it was nice. Seriously though, the pacing of this book was a bit slow, ill be honest to admit it did hit moments where I wanted to flip the pages to get onto the point, but every moment I started to feel that urge BAM - she leaves me wanting more with a newfound twist in the story. A+

I am an avid fan of all of Ms. Wright's work and this one is no different. If you have read the series then you know it was only a matter of time before Trick met his true mate. Frankie is a half human/half shifter who has lived only with humans until one day she receives a letter that changes her life. Filled with angst, action, sarcastic witty banter (as per usual) and hot sex scenes I was delighted that Trick and Frankie found there HEA. 4 stars!!!

This is Book 7 in The Phoenix Pack. It can be read as a stand-alone book. This is the first book of the series that I have read, and it was really good. Frankie is a half-wolf shifter who was raised by her mother’s human family. Frankie’s parents were a murder-suicide or, so the story goes. She receives a letter from her father’s wolf pack and decides to meet them. This is when she meets Trick, the enforcer of the pack. This was such a good story. There’s love, romance, family and a mystery. What more can you ask for in a good book? It’s all here. When you meet Greta, you will be meeting a character in a half. She’s gruff but loves her boys. I really recommend you reading this book. Now I have to go back and read the first six books in the series. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I wholeheartedly adore the Phoenix Pack and Mercury Pack series, so as soon as I finished Lure of Oblivion, I couldn’t wait to read Wild Hunger! And I won’t lie, I’ve been checking to see when it would be available on NetGalley every day for over a month and the closer to its release date, I checked several times a day — I was that excited. I’m sure that you can imagine there was some squealing and jumping up and down when I finally got it and that the moment it hit my kindle, I dove in. It was a long, somewhat torturous wait for Wild Hunger, but it was all worth the wait — I absolutely loved it!

I loved Frankie from the very first and to the very last. Frankie is calm, cool, and rational, she’s not the type to react first and then think later. She’s down-to-earth and has humorous quirks and she’s really just a boss. Frankie might be calm, but she’s incredibly strong and fierce and she can hold her own. Frankie is truly a gem and I completely loved her!

Just like with any Suzanne Wright hero, I absolutely loved Trick! He’s definitely my kind of hero with his possessive, protective rawness and I couldn’t get enough. I loved his rougher dark side and I loved how patient and understanding Trick was with Frankie. He doesn’t rush her or pressure her, he’s just there for her. He’s sweet and teasing and fun and I loved all of him. Trick stole my heart and I know he’ll steal yours!

I enjoyed every minute of reading Wild Hunger. It was exciting and entertaining and fun, but it also broke my heart and made my eyes sting with tears. It made me laugh and smile and sigh. It got my heart pounding, captured my complete attention, and had me turning the pages as fast as I could. Wild Hunger was so wonderful, I positively loved it, and I can’t wait for the next book!

Wild Hunger is the seventh book in the Phoenix Pack series and can be read as a standalone. It’s told from Trick and Frankie’s POV and they do get their happily-ever-after.

~ A Hopeless Romantic’s Booklandia, 5 Stars

Wild Hunger is the seventh book of The Phoenix Pack. Shifter fans will be thrilled to return to the Phoenix Pack. Frankie Newman is a half–wolf shifter who has been lied to her entire life by her human grandparents. When her shifter family seeks her out, she reluctantly meets them. When the truth of her past is revealed, she is determined to get to know her shifter family. Trick Hardy, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, is instantly drawn to Frankie. Knowing that he doesn't want to scare her, he takes his time letting her know that she is his mate. As the two begin to bond, sparks fly and they cannot resist each other.

Told in dual POV, Wild Hunger offers another steamy shifter read full of alpha males who love and protect their females. Frankie is a complex character who has been through so much. The way in which she bonds with Trick offers her healing and peace like she has never experienced before. The connection between the two certainly did not disappoint!

Overall, Wild Hunger will certainly appeal to Wright fans. It appears that no matter how many books are released, I can never get enough! I am looking forward to more pack love to come!

Wright is one of the few remaining authors in PNR whose books are autobuys/lookups for me and my patrons. This series, and its author, continue to deliver wonderful characters and storylines.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ out of 5
I have missed paranormal romances SO MUCH and this gave me the fix I desperately needed! It was a hot book with werewolves- not sure what anyone really needs in life other than this.........
.
The book is set in a world where shifters are definitely out of the closet shall we say and mostly accepted by humans- enough that they live side by side. The story starts out with our heroine (half werewolf) receiving an email from a so called aunt to say that our heroine’s grandmother is dying and would love to meet her before she passes- the kicker though is that she has no knowledge of her father’s side of the family after her maternal parents took her in when her father killed his mate then himself. When she finds out her grandparents lied about her other family she goes ahead and meets them. Enter our hero- who comes as support/bodyguard to the meet up and straight away he knows he has found his true mate- she is his end of story. What follows is the heroine finding her family, her pack and of course LOVE ❤️
.
I really liked both MCs- the heroine is alpha herself and has slight bitch tendencies that make me want to high 5 her 😂, and the hero- who doesn’t love an alpha male who knows what he wants with absolutely no commitment issues. She is it for him and he is ready for that 2 seconds in to recognising her as his true mate, no denying the bond just absolutely ready (I find this so refreshing in comparison to books where everyone is always fighting their feelings). The only thing that was a bit off for me is the references to the hero’s past that had everyone thinking he was gay and it wasn’t explored enough in my opinion in this book (I’m assuming it was in the previous books in the series that I haven’t read). Overall an awesome paranormal read and I definitely want to check out the rest of the series.

Love this series from Ms. Wright. The characters are always fun and engaging and the first-time are off the charts hawt!

This story featured Trick and Francesca (Frankie). I liked the two of them together and, although there wasn't a lot of the usual angst and drama about whether or not they were fated mates, there was still plenty of heat along with some danger and suspense. I was a little surprised at who Trick's mate was, I thought he would be in a menage relationship (since it's well known he liked both makes and females). Still though, I quite enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one.
Note: although this book is a stand-alone, I recommend reading the other books in the series for maximum enjoyment.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley but my thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

Whenever I’m craving paranormal shifters, The Phoenix Pack always hits just the right spot. Wild Hunger was a fun and sexy return to the pack I’ve come to love over the last six books, and a beautiful look into Frankie and Trick’s love story. In exploring the difficulties in growing up without associating with your kind, Wright took a strong female suffering through a sense of abandonment and gave her the agency to find what she’d been missing. That it so happened to come with a man who supported and cared for her was just a bonus—but boy, did they go together well. There were elements of suspense, mystery, and a lot of romance, and I enjoyed every aspect and gobbled it up quickly.

My Opinion

The truth has been hidden from Frankie her entire life. Her father killed her mother, her human grandparents raised her. They told her that her parents died in a car crash. Away from her pack she has been raised as a lone wolf. Imagine the shock and surprise when the truth is revealed. Holy cowzers! Trick finds his mate right off and he recognizes her right away. There is no games, just him making sure that his mate is safe, secure and sound. Let the courting begin!

Coming from a wealthy family Frankie doesn’t need to work. As an artist though, she makes a killing. Her work is always dark, frighteningly so which is a reflection of her background. So when she finds out what she saw when she was three everything begins to make sense. Trick understands that she is going through emotional baggage and he really just wants to be there for her. His reaction to her, his ability to pick up on what it is that she needs is spot on and frankly just adorable.

Frankie knows that things aren’t adding up. Why would her daddy murder her momma? Did it really happen the way she was told. On top of that someone is threatening the pack that Trick belongs to. The pack that has taken her under their wing. Is she in danger?

Wild Hunger is full of passion, patience and love. The suspense aspect of the story and Frankie trying so desperately to remember gives the story a sense of urgency. Trick really is the perfect match for her.

Sometimes you find an author and you just like their writing style. You love their stories and you would read anything they wrote. Yes, even a book on how to program some computer game because you know you just know that there will be a female character that you could love in it, a male character that is gonna go all alpha male on you and a romance that will make you swoon. Suzanne Wright is one of those authors for me. I will one-click anything she writes.

My Rating 5 out of 5 stars
