Good intriguing story .

The cover of this book is what drew my attention but the great story kept me reading.
Alexei Medvedev is a hybrid and a assassin for the Forgotten Brotherhood. Cassie Donna is the target for a hit. Instead of killing her he protects her.
This was a great paranormal romance full of action and just different enough to hold your interest until the surprising ending.

The second in Walters' Forgotten Brotherhood series this book tells the tale of Alexei - the vampire-polar shifter and Cassie - a reaper (and as it turns out Death's daughter).

This was an entertaining read and left me eager to see who in the Brotherhood gets their story next!

Wow, where has N.J. Walters been all my life? Seriously, how am I just now discovering her? Needless to say, this was my first book by the author but also definitely going to be my first book in a long line of obsessive-based mainlining of her work. I get a little OCD like that.

I honestly didn't know what to expect when I picked requested this ARC but I was absolutely entertained. Forgotten Brotherhood of badass warriors of unimaginable skill and power that are assassins for paranormals? Vampire Bear shifters? Grim Reapers/Death's right-hand reaper? Ummm, sign me up twice!

I, unfortunately, couldn't get my hands on the first in the series fast enough so I was a little, contextually, out of the loop but not in a major way. Regardless, Artic Bite was fun and entertaining with a little bit o' steam mixed in. I love all things paranormal and the world is really very interesting. I seriously am so on board for more. *Please reference aforementioned statement on OCD mainlining of other works by the author.*

I absolutely recommend for those looking for an entertaining and fun new paranormal series.

Arctic Bite is the 2nd book to the Forgotten Brotherhood by N.J Walters and I find that this book was written far more smoothly than the first book. The Forgotten Brotherhood are a group of assassins, they are the baddest of the baddest and their leader is Maccus Fury (Book 1, Fury Unleashed). The operate solo, not as a group or with another member. Each of them are deadlier than your usual shifters.

Alexei Medvedev is a hybrid, he is a bear shifter and a vampire .... both deadly predators and he given the job to assassinate Cassie Dobbs. However, before he accepted the job he wanted to check out what and why is Cassie Dobbs being marked for assassination. Thus begin an exciting and sexy adventure. Cassie Dobbs is no ordinary paranormal, she has been around since the dawn of time. Much of Cassie's background is a mystery that will be unravel as the story progresses.

I enjoyed reading this book, it wasn't boring and I find the dialogue funny and engaging. The sexual chemistry between the 2 main characters sizzles the pages. I cannot wait for the 3rd book.

I was gifted a copy by Netgalley, however views above are all my own.

So, what is your favourite type of shifter, and what breed of bear is it? For me, it’s Polar Bears, and Alexei was perfect, and different. He thought he was less because he was different, but in the end, that is what made all the more special. Cassandra thought she was doomed, because of what she was, and what she’d done, run from her responsibilities. She couldn’t be more wrong, but it takes a lot of heartbreak to get to that realization.

What isn’t in doubt, the attraction and the steaminess between these two. Age, reasons, meaning, and time, all cease to exist when these two are together. Their bond is deep, their love is great, their moments are all special. I felt all their pain, all their joy, all their doubt and worries. I felt with them, and for them, and I loved every second of it!

This book put a smile on my face. I really enjoyed the main characters and their interactions with each other. The book had a great flow to it and that is really important in a Paranormal romance. The author really made an effort to make these characters likable as well as relatable. This was a fun and easy read that had a very satisfying ending. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal romance.

Arctic Bite by N. J. Walters is the second book in her Forgotten Brotherhood and while I loved Maccus and Morrigan in the first book Cassie and Alexei grew on me as I got further in the book. It's a solid 4 stars and I can't wait for the next book. The plot twist at the final chapters was amazing and I sure didn't see that coming at all.

Alexei Medvedev is researching his next contract who happens to be the bartender in a Nome, AK pub. What he learns about watching Cassie Dobbs is that she cares and watched over her patrons so he's confused as why she needs to die. He's a polar bear-vampire hybrid and he hasn't figure out what Cassie is other than she smells like flowers (A Reaper). When they break up a fight she invites him upstairs to stay the night. They are soon on the run from vampires who want to collect the bounty on her head.

Cassie Dobbs walked away from her job and wants to just experience life. She didn't expect to have a bounty on her head or to meet Alexei who tells her there's a bounty on her head. When one of her own Reapers wants to collect the bounty its Alexei who'll hear the siren call of her scythe. When you add in their escape to Russia (his home is a cave) plus there's the big reveal at the end and you have a kick ass heroine.

What a thrilling paranormal romance by N.J. Walters. I simply could not put the book down. It was well-written with an intriguing plot.

I just love Alexei & Cassie is such a strong female character in this book.
It’s the second in the Forgotten Brotherhood series that although is a great standalone does touch on the previous book characters & a mention of Drakons!
I don’t want to give any of the storyline away as it is just so great & I loved every page.
This is shaping in a fantastic series & each book develops the brotherhood more.
I was lucky enough to have an ARC but this is a keeper that I’m sure to read again

I love the idea of this world the author's created. There's so many directions for the series. This one was slow and had me skimming between the action scenes because of too much internal dialogue. I really liked the twist at the end and hope to see more development in future books. Although this one didn't work for me, I loved the first one and am anxious to read more in the series.

2.5

Amazing!

Another fantastic book by Ms. Walters. Action, twists, heart and undying love woven expertly in Andrei and Cassie's story. Plus a visit from my favorite...Maccus!

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is part of a series but reads well as a stand alone. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the spirit of the characters. Cassie is a "retired" reaper and Alexei is a polar bear/vampire! I loved that combo. A fun read. 3.5 stars. If you like paranormal romance with a bit of intrigue this one is a good one for you.

This is a really solid addition to the Forgotten Brotherhood series. I love when a series is a collection of independent stories set within the same world that can be read as standalones. This compliments the first book nicely and effectively adds to the previous developments.

I liked the new setting and new set of MCs. Both Alexei and Cassie are interesting characters and worth rooting for. My only slight problem would be the major case of insta-love present. I get that lust and attraction can be immediate, and that's fine, but it's a personal pet-peeve when characters are saying 'I love you' the day after meeting. It's just a bit of an eye-roll.

But this installment is well-written and entertaining and I'm excited to see what story will come next for this series!

This was my first read from the author and I enjoyed it! Though it is the second book in a series, it can be read by itself. I did not feel like I was missing any information or playing catch up.

Alexei is an assassin with the Forgotten Brotherhood who finds himself in a pickle while investigating a potential new target. Cassie is in hiding from her past when she is approached by Alexei. Alexei is rough and tough on the exterior but is a teddy bear towards Cassie. Cassie is a no-nonsense kick-ass lady. Funny and sexy times ensue.

I had the chance to read an early copy for review!

Very enjoyable read! The story was interesting and unique from others of its genre, and I was left to finish it in the wee hours of the morning for I couldn’t leave it ;)

Alexei was an adorable, sexy beast, whilst Cassie was a mature (thank God!) and very likeable heroine. Together, I thought they were a great match.

5 Stars! Fierce, fabulous, fantastical, and brimming with romance! I hope there's another installment in this wonderful series!

I happily devoured this book. It is very well written with lots of action and twists. I especially loved this twist on Death and reapers.
