Dire Desires (Novel of the Eternal Wolf Clan, #3)

Feared by humans, envied by werewolves, the Dire wolves are immortal shifters, obeying no laws but their own bestial natures. Once they were many, but now only a few remain, a dangerous wolfpack forever on the hunt…

Jinx is a Dire wolf without a pack. Kicked out of the house by his king, and living with a vampire named Jez, Jinx has been trying to undo the damage he’d unintentionally caused during the reign of the Dire ghost army, which unleashed some of Purgatory’s worst monsters on the world at large. But when he hears that an unshifted Were is being held in a psychiatric hospital, he immediately drops everything to help her.

Gillian Black has no idea what’s happening to her—and Jinx discovers that she’s not just any Were, but a Dire wolf from the original Greenland pack. He helps her escape and promises to keep her safe from the men—and wolves—who are hunting her, and teach her everything about being a wolf.

He must also fight his feelings, wanting to claim her as his mate…at least until after he defeats the supernatural enemies that threaten all of them.

The third book in Stephanie Tyler’s Eternal Wolf Clan Series, Dire Desires, provides an exciting mix of paranormal romance with a healthy dose of romantic suspense all rolled into one. Although this can be read as a separate book because Stephanie Tyler does a good job of providing a bit of the back story so you know what has happened, I would highly recommend reading the first two books in the series for a couple of reasons. One, she is a really good writer and the series has an interesting storyline, and two, it will give you more depth about the secondary characters within this novel. In Dire Desires Mrs. Tyler provides plenty of action in the quest for the Dire wolf Jinx to undo the damage he caused when he opened purgatory. Add to this a strong female heroine named Gillian who just happens to be a Dire wolf herself and you get a roller coaster of twists, turns, and thrills that continue to excite long after you are done reading. The integral subplots with the additional supernatural beings (and a couple of humans) just add icing to this cake and leaving you wishing for the next book in the series.
