Echoes of Fire
by Suzanne Wright
They may not be made for each other, but animal instincts are impossible to ignore.
Madisyn Drake is a rare breed of cat shifter…a loner, unpredictably wild, and emotionally distant. A recent betrayal has left her ready to sharpen her claws on the next man she sees…until a prowling wolf with steel-gray eyes and a brooding dark edge challenges her distrust. No matter how fully he satisfies her touch-hunger, Madisyn’s not ready to open up again, even if it is oh so gratifying.
Bracken Slater has earned his reputation as an indomitable predator. Once broken by grief and guilt, Brack is feeling alive again, thanks to the heady scent of this independent feline. Convincing her that they’re meant for each other is going to take more than branding Madisyn’s beautiful neck. She’s not interested in joining an unfamiliar pack, much less answering to an alpha. But when threats from both their pasts take shape, their unexpected destiny may be the only thing that can save them.

This book was another great addition to my fave shifter series! Echoes of Fire was Madisyn and Bracken's story. Madisyn is a lone pallas cat shifter who is friends with the Mercury pack wolves and works at the shifter shelter. Bracken is a wolf shifter and enforcer for the Mercury pack. He lost his parents, siblings and baby nephew in a recent attack by the anti-shifter extremist group and has been struggling to recover emotionally. He and Madisyn have been acquaintances but something happens between them that brings to light that they are true mates. The two of them like each other but take it slowly getting to know each other and fully forming a bond. In the meantime, Madisyn faces a threat from a bear shifter clan who wants her to tell them where she has helped hide a bear shifter from the shelter. They go to vast lengths to hurt her, Bracken and the Mercury pack. But Madisyn is no pushover and won't go down without a big fight, and Bracken will do anything to keep his mate safe. The two make a powerful team and they come out on top in love and war.
I loved Madisyn and Bracken. Madisyn was such a scrappy little fighter. She rarely showed fear or backed down from a challenge. Bracken adored his mate and was so protective of her, especially after losing his family. They were a really great match and I very much enjoyed their relationship progression. The writing was good and the story was interesting. Also, this book was very action packed. There were lots of fights and battles.
Overall, this was a great, fast paced book. Madisyn and Bracken were funny, sweet and sexy together. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for more from Ms. Wright and the Mercury pack series!
