In a time when the genre has been beaten down by the Twilights of the world, author Deborah Leblanc has stepped away from the pack and given readers a real treat in this book that incorporates action, suspense, mystery and a bit of romance. The writing is top notch, the story keeps moving and the characters are memorable. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would recommend it unequivocally.
Shauna MacDonald is the Keeper of the weres in New Orleans. When 3 weres are found brutally murdered,, their fangs and claws removed, Shauna joins forces with Danyon Stone, an alpha were.
I liked this book. It is the last of the Keepers Trilogy and I did not like Danyon as much as the heroes in the other 2 books. I think it is that whole alpha wolf thing. I also would have liked to see more of Shauna's sisters in this book. However, it is still good and the mystery kept me guessing. A good end to trilogy. Actually, I would like to see more of the MacDonald sisters.

Deborah LeBlanc is one of three fascinating authors who have collaborated for The Keeper series and has done so in expert fashion. Describing herself as the “caboose” on this project, the challenge may have seemed insurmountable to a novice as LeBlanc followed in the footsteps of Heather Graham and Alexandra Sokoloff, tasked with limitless opportunities of her own imagination yet tethered by keeping the flavor and details found in the previous installments. Yet LeBlanc not only met the challenge, she brought to life the youngest MacDonald without a glitch, truly building on the flair and adding that extra dash of panache to the characters' dialect as only found in NOLA.
In the continuation of "The Keepers" and “The Shifters”, show more the members of Danyon Stone’s werewolf pack are methodically being killed in "The Wolven". As the alpha male, Danyon’s compelled to find out who’s behind the vicious murders and hunt them down. He is determined to see justice prevail with every fiber of his being. The glitch that even this alpha didn’t see coming, arrives in the form of the very sensual, very mortal woman and his Keeper, Shauna MacDonald.
Shauna has begun to come into her own and she won’t let her human status stop her from jumping into the fray as they hunt down a killer. It her duty to keep all the werewolves in NOLA safe and as she works with Danyon to put an end to the terror, they continuously try to deny their forbidden attraction. The constant contact with him poses a real threat to her heart like nothing ever has. If she is unlucky enough to become the murderer’s next target, her illicit relationship with Danyon could be the very death of her.
LeBlanc built a strong independent character in young Shauna as she realistically balances the natural desire for independence and focused on the importance of this character coming of age. New to LeBlanc’s writing, I am an instant fan.
