True Wolf: Sexy, Action-packed Paranormal Romantic Suspense by Paige TylerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
True Wolf is the third book in Paige Tyler's paranormal suspense series called STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team. This story is action-packed, moving quickly between settings, with many twists and interesting characters.
As an omega werewolf, Caleb is the 'fighter/berserker for the team given his lack of control. He has a more 'gray' past, leaving him feeling somewhat detached from his team but thankful for a pack's place and comfort. Unfortunately, it does mean his expectations of a happy life - and a HEA is low. Brielle has a younger brother prone to get himself into trouble. She strongly longs for a more normal life while keeping her paranormal abilities secret in fear of exploitation.
Unfortunately, the fast action with minimal periods of slow became a bit of a blur when reading. I think this would have made a good movie, but as a book, the story lets you down with too many threads to follow and envision. A save the world type plot can be overwhelming in the face of all the new "type" paranormal/supernatural we are introduced to. The books in the series are very much team-based, and the sheer number of characters coming through felt like a distraction and made it difficult to keep up with the story thread.
Caleb/Brielle wasn't a pairing particularly interesting or captivating. This together with the overstimulation from the action part meant that I had to put the book down more often than not while finishing. It became tiring to read.
