Five Caffeinated Reasons to grab your headphones and listen to Two Minutes

Maizy is human but is in fact unique. She was brought into the pack at the beginning of this series and has been guarded like a princess. While Maizy treats the pack as a family, Denver has always been her best friend and watchdog. The love she has for Denver has matured into something more. For Denver, she is the one he cannot have. TWO MINUTES takes place years after the last novel, so it was interesting to get news on characters and the pack. Maizy has just returned from school abroad and is determined to connect with Denver. She is also seeking answers to what she is. For those who follow the story, we all know what makes Maizy unique, and in TWO MINUTES we get the full story.

The Seven stories all work as standalone, although I do not recommend it since the pack, relationships and characters are threaded throughout. Dark does clarify things for a newbie, and each book contains a suspenseful thread balanced by humor and occasional snark. For me, it is the characters within the pack from their trials to banter that make the series.

With TWO MINUTES the relationship between Denver and Maizy is enhanced by the former books and scenes we witnessed. Dark delivered all the feels as Denver struggled wth his emotions. There is another interested party in Maizy, and he just made my skin crawl. I found him to be arrogant. I still crack up when I think about how things panned out, particularly with the arrogant ass. LOL Denver doesn't know about Maizy's uniqueness, and this caused some complications. We also learn a great deal about Denver's past, his heartache, and why falling for a human scares him.

The suspenseful thread involves tempers and Breed law. Both created havoc for the Weston pack. It also interfered with the developing relationship between Denver and Maisy. I went through a mix of emotions from full on anger to desperation. I absolutely loved how Dark weaved an event from book one into TWO MINUTES.

Why listen? Nichole Poole narrates and has found herself a firm slot on my favorite narrator list. From her male voices to her tone she enhances each tale. I tend to prefer male narrators, and I am happy to have discovered Poole. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Book Reviewer

I have waited for Denver and Maizy's story since I read the first book. I have always loved both of them. Here are my thoughts:
1. This book gives you lots of information about Maizy as a grown up. It was good to not continue to see her as a child, you know!? I was worried it would still feel 'weird' but you are certainly aware Maizy is all grown up now.
2. You still get the details about the other pack members. Getting to check in with everyone is always awesome and of of the things I love about a series.
3. The story gives you both Denver's POV and Maizy's so you get to see a bit of whats going on in both their heads.
4. While both of them struggle with their feelings, the entire book isn't about that alone. I hate books that center around miscommunication between the H and h.

However, I felt this book was a little lacking. When it ended, I was like "Wait, what? Its just over?". I wanted more! Maybe because I love them so much but whatever the reason, it felt abrupt.

Two Minutes is more dramatic than the prior books in the Seven series, because there are some even more serious parts to the plot this time around.
