Abandoned and Unseen, ( Branded Packs Series #2) by Alexandra Ivy & Carrie Ann Ryan. ARC Review



Branded Packs Book #2: 

Abandoned:

When bear shifter , Anya Tucker fell in love with the wrong man, the only thing she was left with was a broken heart-- and her two bear cubs.  Now she´s mended her wounds and learned that in order to raise her babies she can only trust herself. When her sons meet the lazy cat next door and fall head over tails for him , she´ll do whatever it takes to protect them--even from a past she thought she´d thought she´d left behind.

Cole McDermott is a jaguar on a mission. Long naps , a willing woman, and a full stomach is usually all he needs when it comes to relaxing after a long day of protecting his pack. Then he meets Anya and the burn of temptation is silky and tantalizing indeed.When a horror from Anya´s past threatens everything she loves, Cole will put everything aside and fight for her family--as well as his own.

Unseen: 

Nicole Bradley had no reason to live after the humans murdered her son. Not until she learns to hunt down those responsible for his death. Shifting into her wolf form at night , she slips out of the compound, determined to do as much damage as possible. The last thing she expected was to discover secrets that could destroy the SAU.

Polar shifter , Tucker Stone, lives off the grid. It´s the only way the Unseen can avoid being rounded up by the humans and tossed into a compound . Besides, he´s a loner by nature. But he can´t walk away when he sees the pretty female wolf in danger. Risking exposure , he takes her to his hidden den and tries to heal her wounds. 
Can a reclusive polar bear and a wolf with a death wish find happiness together?


This is the second in this series . It´s not necessary to read the other first , but it would be more enjoyable.

  The "world " in this series has suffered a devastating virus that has killed of a lot of humans. When it was discovered that certain communities didn't suffer any losses, the world found out that shifters lived among them. The shifters we're rounded up and put in compounds,  blamed with causing the virus. 

There are many factions among the humans that are doing experiments on the shifters,  without the knowledge of the general public

Anya is a momma bear with twin boys, in a new compound. She is trying hard to keep her boys out of trouble.  The lazy cat next door doesn't help when he allows her boys to stalk him.
Cole is the tracker of his pack. When Anya's twins are abducted he will do anything to get them back.

Nicole is  a wolf on a mission. She will venture outside the compound to find the humans responsible for the murder of her son.
Tucker is a polar bear and part of the unseen pack that live outside the compounds. The humans don't know they are there. When he stops a beautiful wolf from entering a dangerous area,  he only knows he must protect her.
 
A wonderful series that puts our lovely shifters in a very dangerous situation.  They must try and convince the humans that they are not responsible for the virus.
Lots of emotional scenes. Plenty of action and some very hot sex scenes.
This series will be easy to get addicted to. I love all the characters.


ALEXANDRA IVY:



I´m not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother´s knee listening to her read  from Dr Seuss to me.I do remember I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library.Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stack of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R.Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on.
Years later ( no ,I´m not admitting how many) I´m still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold.
I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing , the most important being my unbelievably patient husband , David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.

CARRIE ANN RYAN:



New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon
