Liam (The Rylee Adamson Epilogues, #2)

by Shannon Mayer

My name is Liam, and I was an FBI agent, until I stepped into the world of Rylee Adamson. Now, I’m a Guardian, a wolf shifter whose very design is to protect those around him at any cost. The battle against Orion is done, the demons banished. In their wake, there are so many innocents who have lost their lives, their families, and their way. Three of them our now ours to raise—the ogre triplets. Three boys I’ve come to love as if they were my own. And they are dying. In a race against time, I must do the impossible. Find a female ogre willing to help us save the boys. A female from a species we had believed was wiped out. There is one reclusive tribe left—but they aren’t sharing anything but death. If I am to save my boys, I must face them down; and this time I must look inside myself and find a strength I did not know was possible, without Rylee at my side. If I fail, I fail not only my boys. I may fail the world.

I loved the Rylee Adamson series so I was very excited to see more of the gang. I adored these books but I will say that this series has become draining in some ways. Not because it's not great, it is, - but because there's a bloody lot happening and a lot to keep straight. And frankly, I don't think you can read these books without having read the Rylee Adamson series and the Elementals. There's too much crossover to avoid it and a lot you'll be confused about without it.

Obviously the fallout from the Blood of the Lost has left the gang changed and the epilogues follow each of the four characters as they adapt to the change that has been wrought and their own insecurities. But it also builds up to the next chapter in the world and the final book in the Elemental series, Destroyer.

In Liam, the ogre babies are dying from lack of ogre milk. This time, Liam is up to bat, taking off to find the last remaining ogre pack and hopefully, a nursing ogre female. Like Rylee, Liam has his own issues - mainly that he literally doesn't recognise himself. Being stuck in Faris' body has left him doubting his instincts, his control, his attractiveness and Rylee's feelings for him. Especially since he hasn't been able to shift since the battle. It was fast paced, action packed and emotional and gave a greater insight into Liam's feelings and character. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing more of Liam, only wish that the whole gang had featured rather than just Liam and new characters.
