[English Review] Sons of the Alpha #1 - Knight

Technical sheet

Sons of the Alpha
Book 1 : Knight


Author : Addison Carmichael

Number of pages : 298

Publication date : july 2020 (Ed. 2)

Collection : /

Publisher : Independently published



Description
ALEXIA RAINE NEEDS TO BE RESCUED BY A WEREWOLF.

Not just any werewolf either, but the top enforcer in the Bryant Pack. Which is why Neil Duran is pulled off a major case by his High Alpha to retrieve this unknown daughter of their most valuable member, or their entire wolf pack in the Pacific Northwest will lose all hard-won territory, shifting the balance of powers.

But convincing this feisty woman to come with him poses its own problems.

First, Alexia Raine never knew her real father.
Second, she doesn’t know that werewolves even exist.
Or that she herself might be one.
Or that their rival wolf pack will stop at nothing to acquire her for several unspeakable reasons.

Worse, she’s the most aggravating, infuriating, intoxicating woman he’s had the displeasure to rescue, and he may very well be falling in love with her.

My Review

It was on Booksprout that I discovered this title and its author. The summary having pleased me very much, I let myself be tempted by this ARC.

We are in a world where there are shifters and humans. In the Bit-Lit genre, one of my favorites.

I easily entered the story where I followed Alexia in her discovery of a world she did not know. I liked her very much because she has a strong character. She also has a flaw: she rushes headlong.
Neil seems impenetrable at first, a stubborn kind of guy, but we come to understand him little by little.
The only character who hasn't convinced me is Erik.

There is no sex scene but, as I have said for other books, it doesn't bother at all. Quite the contrary.

 I was so immersed in the book that I read it almost in one go. I would have liked to know a little more, particulary on the "grade" that Alexia will have.

I will read the next book which will be with Jake. I just discovered that there is novella prequels which explains more certain things. I'll see if I can find them (=> found it).
Rating : 9/10

Description
After being gone for months, there's nothing like being home for Christmas.
Although Brindle has no family there to welcome her back, and the little town has grown since she left, it's still home to her and exactly where she wants to be in these final days.

With a little help from a generous stranger full of the Christmas spirit, the holiday is sure to be perfect for Brindle. Full of love and memories, both old and new.

She just prays she's able to enjoy it before she runs out of time and breath.


My review
It's on NetGalley that I found this title which goes well with the period of the year where we are.

If at the beginning I thought that this book was a bit like "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green, the end takes us away from it and we are more in fantasy.

I was persuaded to shed liters of tears but it's with a smile that I close this story.

The characters are nice. Brindle lugs around his oxygen tank but we don't pay attention. Hamon perfectly embodies the spirit of Christmas. Something we find less and less these days. I like his first name.

The pages scroll more or less quickly. I remind you that English is not my mother tongue. It's a short format so we don't have time to go into everything that could be.

Those who appreciate beautiful Christmas stories should be delighted.

Another author whom I didn't know but who has several titles to her credit. I'll take a closer look.
Rating : 8,2/10
