This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I was so excited to receive an advanced copy as I have been eagerly awaiting the next Phoenix Pack book! With the large amount of books that I read, I do tend to forget about many details so was glad that this book gave a great amount of background as we see all the members of the pack and even some of the Mercury pack show up. So even if you had not read any of the previous books, you could understand what was going on and read this book as a stand alone. But if you enjoy following up with previous characters as much as I do, then it is fun to see them again in this book.

Poor Trick has been so patiently waiting for his true mate to show up, so it was a surprise to him when he sees a little girl from his past and realize that she is his mate! It was also refreshing that Trick did not fight against it or try to deny that Frankie was his mate. He did not rush things as he knew she was not ready and needed to give her time to recognize that he was her mate.

The back story of Frankie's past was somewhat of a mystery as she was lied to about her parents and that she was there when they both died. Not even realizing why, her scultures were a reflection of that dark time in her life and there was more to the story that was about to be revealed.

Trick was so upfront with Frankie about his past lovers since he didn't want her to be blindsided by facts coming out from a vindictive pack member that it was surprising when a previous lover showed up and did just what Trick had tried so hard to prevent. I loved that his pack members took the person out of the situation but I really wish there was a bit more later when Trick confronted the person! But I guess it was probably better to show that the person was not even relevant to their mating or happiness.

While I suspected the person who really killed Frankie's parents, I just could not connect the dots and figure out the "why" and was shocked when another person was linked to the real killer. I loved the suspense and mystery of the book and it kept me way to engaged so that I read way too late into the night to finish it!

I was glad that they resolved Morelli's threat to their pack but did also leave a clue that he was being supported by a human so while Morelli is not an issue, his "boss" is still out there and will probably cause more trouble down the road. I am looking forward to the next book and the next pack member to find their mate!

Another hit by the wonderful Ms. Wright.

The Characters & Chemistry.

Trick is one of the many enforcers with the pack. He split with Trey after Trey got kicked out of the Bjorn Pack and they founded the Phoenix Pack. Now they are one of the strongest packs there is.
He is loyal and funny and an absolute dominant male but I seem to have no real collection of what made him stick out in the previous books. Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention to him.

Anywayz I am now totally on board with Trick getting his own book. He always knew that he had a fated mate out there but after all of his pack being mated he and his wolf are getting lonely and it is getting worse.

Frankie was part of the Bjorn Pack that is until a tragic event that she can’t remember was whisked away by her maternal family and as a half shifter has lived in the human world. No pack, no support and not a lot from her maternal family.

I really liked Frankie she is cute but at the same time really mean. She is strong and came out on top with everything that happened to her but a lot of things are about to change for her.

There was an underlying chemistry between these two right from the beginning there is no fighting or back and forth if they really are true mates. It sizzled and crackled between the two and it was hot peeps.

The Writing & Plot.

Frankie is contacted by her Aunt Lydia of the Phoenix Pack as her paternal grandmother is fading after the loss of her mate. Finding out that Frankie has been lied to by maternal grandparents for most of her life, she has to acclimatise to the idea of having a pack and family that love and care for her.

The plot not only focuses on what happened with Frankie and her family but also once again there is an outside threat. Where a pack full of lone wolves is trying to take over various territory and getting read of packs. There could be a war coming with the shifters/human extremists.

The anticipation is always high when it comes to this series. I just can’t get enough and I have deep love for the Phoenix Pack and all the trials, tribulations and hardships that they have been through and we are near the end of this series but not quite. Wild Hunger is a great addition to this series.

All the right feels were conveyed and evoked here and the story of the tragic event is heart breaking but there were also humorous moments and we get to see the Mercury Pack as well so you know happy days!

What I can’t seem to let go.

This is ME so Trick and Marcus scratched an itch if they had one. It wasn’t weird but then there is o/m drama where one of Trick’s flings gets jealous and tries to sow seeds of doubt.

He doesn't want the label of bi-sexual and that it was all a fling or ONS. It's not about gender but about the person.

Was it mentioned that he is bi-sexual? Or that he had other male flings in the other books? I just felt as if it came out of nowhere. He never got emotionally attached to any of them and I think he did it all to distance himself. And I would also like to state that I have NOTHING against MM.
Please correct me if you know differently on this readers.

The Verdict.

For me Ms. Wright can do no wrong

I just love Suzanne Wright. She is one of my favorite authors in the paranormal romance world.
I don't recommend reading this book as a stand alone. It might be possible, but you would also miss out on so much information and greatness, I highly recommend this entire series !!

Frankie grew up with a lie. Now Trick and his pack are shining the light on her family’s past and in the process he’s staking a claim. When villains start coming out of the wood work from every direction, she finds a safe place with him and the Phoenix pack even as her mind slowly struggles to piece the missing pieces of her parent’s murder together.

I absolutely loved how Trick knew immediately that Frankie was his true mate. His original plans for that moment and time have to be revised however as she has issues to deal with. I loved him even more for his eternal patience with her as she works through them. He was a great hero with a sense of humor, strong alpha tendencies to keep her safe, and sexy talk that could curl your toes.

Frankie was not a tough bada$$ heroine as I was expecting. Instead, she was sweet and cute, a bit fragile but at the core of her was an inner strength that was a perfect complement to Trick. I loved her quirky irritation with proverbs and the way everyone around her was confounded by attitude toward them. Her heart was all about family and hers had hurt her deeply and I wanted there to be a solution so she could “have her cake and eat it too”.

The ending is an explosion of action and suspense. So much happens at one time that I refused to look away from the page even for a moment. The resolution of her memory loss was well developed and I believed it for what it was.

This was a great shifter, mystery, suspense thriller. Yep. All of that. And I loved every moment of it!

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

I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.

I was so excited to see Suzanne had another book out. I've read all of her books and am always watching out for another one to be released. As always, there is already a synopsis of the book, and I don't like to repeat what is in it. With that said, here is my review: Trick is one of the enforcers in the Phoenix Pack. He doesn't understand why others are either not wanting to find their True Mate or complicate it when they do. But he hasn't been able to find them and is starting to wonder if he ever will. Until he runs into her.

Frankie is a strong-minded half-wolf shifter that has grown up with her mothers human family. One day, out of the blue, she receives an email from a family member she didn't know existed. She realizes she's been told lies her whole life and now feels more alone than ever. While she is trying to work through her life with so many things coming to light, she ends up running into Trick and she fights to keeps him at a distance. It's bad enough she has major sexual attraction and tension whenever he's around, but he also doesn't know what personal boundaries are and it is playing havoc on her head, heart, and body. Trick knows he must tread carefully with Frankie. But when she ends up in danger, he's done messing around and will do anything to keep her safe.

There is action, suspense, mystery, love and so much more going on in this story. And it's a decent book to add to the series. But, unfortunately, this is definitely not one of her best in this series. It is a little slow to get going but not enough to make you put the book down and come back to it another time. There didn't seem to be enough gumph in the story though. Yes, there were a couple surprises and twists and turns. But it just fell flat to me. There wasn't the usual female dominance, challenge, defiance, abundant humor and so on, that is in her other books. This was disappointing. The story is a good one and is good enough for me to recommend to others. However, if you've read her other books, be prepared to not read her usual work that keeps you on your toes when the action happens or in tears from all the humor. Hopefully, her next one will be back on track with her incredible writing style that hooked me so long ago.

This book is part of a series, but you could read it as a stand-alone. I do, however, recommend you read her other books in her Phoenix Pack and even her Mercury Pack series. This will help you enjoy the characters a little more when reading this one. I also recommend you take a look at her other series and stand-alone books. You won't be disappointed.

I love Suzanne Wright. I love her characters, her writing, and how she takes all these characters and makes a story cohesive without taking away from the main characters. Its a true mark of an awesome writer that you have all these dominate personalities flowing through each book but yet still maintain the integrity of the main characters of the book. These other characters enhance the main couple and takes NOTHING away from the main couple of each book. I have no idea how she does it but I bow down to her greatness. Now for this book....
Frankie is a half human half shifter who was raised by her human grandparents after her parents died in a horrible sandal. Trick is a bit lonely who has watch most of his fellow pack mates meet and mate. He wants his. The one major difference in this book is Trick knows immediately who Frankie is to him. He downplays his need for her and his dominance because she was not raised in a pack. He totally was all about his mates happiness. Frankie has a bit of a mystery since her grandparents lied to her, her whole life. They also do not approve of Trick and her together. So you have her family causing heartache. You also have some shifter wanting Phoenix territory that needs slapped down. I always feel a little sad after reading one of Suzanne Wrights cause I don't have another one to read! This one was no different. If you have not read the Phoenix Pack, you technically do not have to to enjoy this book.... but you would be missing out. I would actually recommend any Suzanne Wright book as they are all awesome!

Trick and Frankie did not disappoint. There is drama, a murder mystery, fighting, laughs and sexy times that you can always find in Suzanne Wright books.

5 stars
I am in love with this series...super love it...
As always SW gives us what we need. I really liked how Trick cared for Frankie, how he had no issues wanting to find his true mate. At first I thought he would be all talk and no bark, but he did bark and very loud, lol.
I liked how Frankie stood up to her mother's family and it broke my heart what really happened to her mom and dad and how all those lives were destroyed just because of a love that shouldn't be.
I need the next book, I don't care if is Mercury or Phoenix or maybe Cain's book? I just need her to write more, lol...

Wild Hunger is the seventh book in the Phoenix Pack series by Suzanne Wright. It brings to light new faces along with some of our favorite characters from the earlier books in the series. The story continues with threats escalating against the Phoenix pack and some of its members.

This book introduces half–wolf shifter Frankie Newman, a sculptor par excellence. She sculpts terrifying objects with dark themes potentially as a result of her suppressed memories and haunting past, which is revealed when her paternal aunt contacts her to reconnect. 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, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, is a werewolf from Frankie's old pack. He can sense attraction pulsating between him and Frankie when he sees her again and 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 desires.

Together, Trick and Frankie work together to make sense of the past and the present while battling danger at every turn in order to gain closure by understanding what truly occurred all those years ago and moving on with their lives together. This book is truly spellbinding. Suzanne Wright creates characters with such depth that you just can't help rooting for them.

I really did enjoy this book. It kept me guessing as I couldn't figure out who the <spoiler>murderer was. I knew right away that her birth father had never killed his mate because it's just not typical.</spoiler> I hated Frankie's uncle and grandparents. I did not like their I'm better than you attitude towards Frankie and I hated that she kept in contact with them.

I really like how Frankie figured out that they were mates and I also liked how Trick was able to overcome his mating urges to make sure she was comfortable. He made sure that she was cared for. He kept showing up. I really like how the story unfolded but I would have liked more after interaction. I wanted to see the ceremony, I wanted to really see how things were going instead of glossing over them in memory. Still I enjoyed myself and the fact that it kept me guessing on who the antagonist was was even better.

I truly enjoyed this book - I gobbled it up in less than 2 days (and yes - I definitely read it while at my desk at work - oopsies! I blame Suzanne). I'm a huge fan of Suzanne Wright and I have loved this series from the start. The world she built is amazing and I am so jealous I don't live in it.

I've been waiting a long time for Trick's story - he was just so mysterious in everyone else's book. Is he bi? Is he gay? How did he get those scars? What was his backstory? And hallelujah this book gave me alllll the answers and I love Trick even more.

Leading lady Frankie was a nice breath of fresh air. I absolutely loved her name! Frankieeee!! SO fun! I did get a little annoyed her at times but Suzanne did a fantastic job of still making Frankie relatable (even when I wanted to bop her on the head)

The only reason why this is 4 stars and not 5 stars is because the ending "twist" seriously bothered me. I mean - I love you Suzanne but really? REALLY?! I don't what to spoil it but for those who have read it - what a coincidence eh? A little hard to swallow.

Regardless I am still going to buy every book Suzanne Wright puts out - she's just that amazing.

Welcome back to the Phoenix Pack and the story of Trick and Frankie.

It's been awhile since I was in Phoenix territory but I can honestly say that it has been worth the wait.

Part shifter Frankie was friends with Trick when they were youngsters but after a tradegy, Frankie went to live with her grandparents.

Many years later, after an aunt she was unaware of contacts her, she discovers that they have lied to her and her feelings of displacement quickly begin to make sense to her.

She returns to pack territory to pay final respects to her paternal grandmother who is ailing following the death of her mate and is reunited with Trick.

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 thrilling and certainly a definite page turner. I certainly thought I had worked out the mystery...how wrong I was!

Like lots of PNR fans, I am a fan of Suzanne Wright's shifter series.  They are always follow the predictable format that makes them the cracky goodness I enjoy.  Wild Hunger delivered on all of the items readers have come to expect:

Fated mates - check
Super possessive alpha heroes - check
Snarky humor among pack mates, often at the expense of Greta who rightfully deserves it - check
Some flavor of bad guy or guys that ultimately threaten the heroine and/or the pack in general but who are ultimately defeated - check
Over the top sexual references and the notion of saving your ass for your mate - check
The story had all the elements that I look for in Wright's books and would have gotten a higher ranking from me if it weren't for one major problem.

You see, in Wild Hunger we are reminded multiple times that the hero of this story, Trick, has had a past that included sleeping with both men women.  Rock on, bring on the bisexual heroes you say and I agree.  Unfortunately rather than either opting not to specifically state that Trick is bisexual because the label is needed when we know his history or stating that Trick is bisexual, the story seems to make a point to make a statement that Trick isn't gay.  Below are a couple of examples of this:

When a man who Trick has hooked up with in the past attempts to make the heroine question whether she will really be able to give Trick what he needs, she tells him that Trick isn't gay.  When he doesn't believe her she says "I'm pretty sure he's straighter than the pole you dance on every Saturday."
When Frankie (the heroine) is talking to a female member of the pack about the exchange above, the female packmate says "Seeing you and Trick together will have made him face that Trick isn't gay, wich means he also had to face that you're able to give Trick something he can't give him - not unless he's interested in a sex change anyway.
I just don't understand why the author opted to address Trick's sexuality this way when the fact that pack mates have hooked up with each other is openly known and accepted.  Clearly men and women both do it for Trick, why is there any need to make it about being or not being gay?

I hope that we will see this topic handled more appropriately in the future because I would hate to need to stop reading a series that I have enjoyed for years.

Love, Love, love this book. What a story. I couldn’t put it down. The story really draws you in and keeps you hooked. Loved Trick and his instant acknowledgment of the bond and also Frankie with her calm and logical acceptance. This was a great story

This book is part of Suzanne Wrights shifter pack series. I enjoyed this book and must say I learned some new things about Trick that I must have missed in earlier books. Trick has been feeling desolate and lonely lately since so many of his pack have been finding their mates lately. So when he finally meets her he is determined to avoid any of.the issues his previous pack members went through went meeting their mates. Little does he know that his mate, Frankie, would be someone from his past and that someone from the past would try to kill her. Great read with murder, mystery and some great sexual tension that builds up to intense sex scenes.

Another good story from an interesting series. This one has Frankie, who is half wolf, getting contacted by her wolf relatives. Raised by her human grandparents, she didn't know these relatives existed. When Trick, one of the pack members sees her, he knows she is his mate, and the courtship is on. I enjoyed the story and characters, and the twist at the end was good. Highly recommend this author and series.

I should start by saying that I haven't read this series in order. I've only read 2 of the other books in this series but I didn't feel that I was missing much or lost while reading this book.

Frankie makes a living making sculptures that sometimes were of a dark or spooky nature. Frankie is half shifter but was raised by her human family after she was traumatized as a child and taken away from the pack by her human side of the family. She knew she was part shifter but she didn't know anything of the pack her father had belonged to because her grandparents who raised her told her lies her entire life. Frankie only finds out about the pack she belongs to when her aunt reaches out to her.

Trick is part of her aunt's pack so Trick goes with Frankie's aunt to meet her for the first time in 24 years. It's at this meeting that he realizes that Frankie is his mate. After Frankie comes to his pack's home to meet her grandmother and other family members, he's already trying to get closer to her. Trick wasn't satisfied to let her make her mind up about him on her own terms, he went to her on several occasions after she met her grandmother and the other family members so they could get to know each other.

While Frankie is getting to know her dad's side of the family, her mom's parents who raised her are constantly trying to get her to leave the pack in the past. Her uncle is very mad that she's decided to get to know the wolf side of her family as he sees them as a bunch of animals. The uncle is a total ass and I really didn't like him at all.

There's also a side story of a pack of wolves that wants an alliance with Trick's alpha, Trey. But this other pack and its leader are a bunch thugs for the most part and Trey wants no part of an alliance with them but their alpha won't take no for an answer.

Frankie is getting to know her new family members but she thinks that she saw something bad when she was three years old and just can't remember what it was. I thought I knew where this story line was going but I was wrong. There's a big reveal, a nice twist that I didn't see coming and family secrets come to light. I really like it when I think I know where a story is going and am totally wrong and a great twist is thrown my way.

I really didn't care for Frankie's maternal grandparents. They have a lot of money and kept her away from her father's side of the family because of something terrible that happened even though they knew that Frankie was half wolf shifter and as a kid was scared of shifting for the first time. She grew up without a pack or other shifters in her life because of them and I really despised them for that.

Trick and Frankie are great together and I like how these shifters just know when they find their true mates and how the bond lets them get really close.

While I haven't read all the books in this series, I didn't need to in order to enjoy this book. This series is really good and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Disclosure: I received a free copy via NetGalley, I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

OMG! Was this good or what?! I'm really glad I got the chance to read this book. Though unlike other books in this series, this was a little more sweeter, and the heroine seemed a bit more submissive as compared to the others. Though, Trick was awesome! I can't wait for the next one!

Wild Hunger is a paranormal romantic suspense that I really enjoyed. I’ve not read the others in this series (yet) but it didn’t affect my enjoyment in the least. Half–wolf shifter Frankie was raised by her maternal grandparents after being orphaned when she was three. They don’t know how to deal with her wolf side or her artistic side or pretty much anything she does. When she is contacted by an Aunt she never knew existed Frankie sets on a journey that will teach her of her past and create her future.
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good romantic mystery.

Another fun installment in the Pheonix pack series! Interesting plot that held my attention and plenty of steam.
