Wolf Quest (Brotherhood of Blood) Bianca D’ArcI waited a long while for this book to be released, and believe me it was so worth it. If you are following Bianca’s Brotherhood of Blood series then you already know the variety of characters she has in these stories. All with their own dark sides or troubles and all coming together to fight and put an end to the Venifucus. An evil faction hell bent on bringing back Elspeth, Destroyer of Worlds. Also referred to Destroyer of Innocence.Major Jesse Moore the Hot Hot Hot sexy Alpha for a group of ex-military, ex-Spec Ops soldiers/ shifters banding together and hiring out to do special jobs for other were, Tribes, Packs and clans? They are the best of the best. Jesse in his time has been through a lot and seen a lot. He thought he would never find his mate.Maria Garibaldi, a veterinarian who set up a Sanctuary in Iowa to care for large exotic animals. She liked the forest and being around nature that was her element. It also has something to do with her magic. Magic which she refuses to believe in. Her Nona and Aunt are witches but never were trained in to utilize their powers to the fullest. Jesse and a few of his men were tracking two men believed to be part of the Venifucus, got a call for his brother to go check up on his wife’s cousin Maria. Seemed simple enough until they got to her home. They were going to go in stealth until they heard loud crashes and things breaking from inside the house. Change of plans and Jesse broke down her door only to be totally surprised at what he saw. Seems Maria is one tough female for being human. One of the men was knocked out cold while she held down the second with his arms painfully pulled behind his back. Jesse tranquilized the man Maria had down and when he succumbed to the tranquilizer he held up his wrist and ask Maria if she saw anything. Which she did, the Venifucus’s tattoo. He quickly ordered his men to restrain the two and get them back to his brother for questioning. It’s in this cozy little house that their story begins. Jesse reveals to Maria he is a wolf shifter and tries to explain what he thinks is going on. He tells her about Sally who is believed to be her cousin, but Maria is not buying any of it. Since Maria wouldn’t leave with Jesse and his men, Jesse decided to stay under the pretense he wanted to repair the damage to her door and re-secure her house. In the morning Maria heads out to feed the animals and check on them. She advises Jesse to stay out of the big cats building since they seemed to have sensed him and were getting agitated. When they headed over to the grizzly’s building Jesse pushed in front of Maria and told her to stand back. She explained to him how she came about getting the grizzly and the condition he was in. She also mentioned was very very aggressive, unbeknownst to Maria she was brought a grizzly cub that was a shifter. It wasn’t until Jesse went on her rounds to feed the animals that it was realized she had caged a shifter. Maria was devastated when she realized what she’d done. Jesse talks with the cub and gets him to change to human form and is taken back to Maria’s house where she can check his wounds, get him cleaned up and fed and let him rest.As the Story continues Jesse’s wolf knows Maria is his mate and wants to claim her right then and there. The story between the two of them is full of discovery and learning and yes very steamy love making. We find out the little grizzly cub Zach was attacked and left for dead when his parents were kidnapped for their magic and power. We learn Zach’s uncle is Rocky and there may be a connection of Rocky’s bloodline to Maria. You see Rocky’s last name is also Garibaldi. We had our recluse Vamp Marco make an appearance and he actually was helping Jesse, Maria and Zach get into the building where they were holding Zach’s parents. I think I’ve given enough away and I so look forward to the next installment. I’m curious to see if we’ll see Nona’s family reunion and will they have enough magic together to heal Leonora or will the Venifucus attack again. I give Wolf Quest 5* and I want the title to the next book please. Sometimes, I try to think of something that would bring a story down from 5 stars to something less. Most of the time, I find what's obvious, since I don't give out loads of 5 star ratings. To me that's a darned-near-perfect book. And since I buy all of my books, I really hate those 1 and 2 star books! This one is darned-near-perfect. Not a load of repetitive, romantic angst like you get with less polished authors. Lots of good action without bringing in the individual personality of a slimy villain, although the slimy villains are there. Hunky hero. Admirable heroine who isn't strident and foul-mouthed. Good supporting cast. New characters brought in to possibly get their own books (I vote for Marco, the vamp).I loved every minute. Thank you again, Bianca!
