Brandt Davis is a werewolf who ran away from his pack when they discovered he was gay, bisexual actually, not that it matters to the homophobic were-culture. Unjustified Claims introduces a new couple to the series. Aaron and Zach, Paul and Simon, hell, the whole pack! Those are my boys, and I am totally invested. Because I don’t think of the characters as belonging to the author anymore. It is sometimes hard reading new books in a series where you as the reader have such a strong ownership of the characters. I am also grateful to her for providing me with a copy of the e-book of Unjustified Claims for this review, thanks Kaje! At lease three times, maybe 4? Harper is one of my go to authors to go back and re-read in between buying new books, and this is one of my favorite shifter series ever. I will also preface this review by saying that I have now read the other books in the Hidden Wolves series multiple times. Or that they buy pastries from one of my favorite Vietnamese bakeries over on University Avenue. So why Hidden Wolves? First of all, the series takes place in Minnesota! Yay home state! The novels in this series are hefty and satisfying – Harper tends to write longer novels, which are typically hundreds of pages longer than your standard M/M book these days, and Harper’s take on werewolves in our own universe, or a near identical one, is refreshing, and dare I say realistic? Yes I know, werewolves, but still, you don’t have a hard time believing that her Hidden Wolves live in the Twin Cities and work as technical writers and custom cabinet makers. You can check out Harper’s complete body of work here. There are also a couple of free short stories in the series as well. The first two books in the Hidden Wolves series, Unacceptable Risk, and Unexpected Demands are fantastic, and if you have not read them, I highly recommend that you do so before tackling Unjustified Claims. Kaje Harper is an author I have been meaning to post about for a while now, because I really enjoy her work.
