Pack Challenge is fast paced, a bit mysterious and plenty hot and quite humorous at times.
Pack Challenge was my introduction to Laurenston's writing, and I definitely want more of her stories. I enjoyed her take on shapeshifters, and I really loved Sara from the beginning. Both her snarky relationship with her friends, and the way she interacted with the other characters made me laugh sometimes, and roll my eyes a little other times. The universe of these shifters was well done, and I am very curious as to what else will happen with the Magnus Pack in the future.
The chemistry between Sara and Zach was off the chart from the beginning of Pack Challenge, and it was especially funny to see Zack try to resist the siren call Sara unconsciously made for him... He really should know better, as he had been a shifter for a while - there is not way to resist fate for the wolves.
While I enjoyed most of what happened in Pack Challenge, there were also a few things I could have done without, especially the way Sara talked herself down by calling herself a slut and a whore... To me, a woman with a healthy sexual appetite is neither, and I think it would have made the story better if Sara had owned her attraction to Zach fully from the start.
The narrator did a good job, both with the male and female voices, and with the different accents, too. She brought the story to life, and I will keep an eye out for her in other stories in the future.
At this point, if they were any closer they'd be fucking.
For a girl raised as human, she was funny when she wanted to be.
"Sharks?" "What?" "They're the ultimate killing machines." "I can't have this conversation."
