Review: Wolf Instinct (SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team #9)

Wolf Instinct (SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team #9)

by Paige Tyler 

Blurb:
He's a wolf shifter.
She hunts monsters.
How can she be The One for him?

SWAT werewolf Zane Kendrick will do whatever it takes to take down the man who attacked his pack. His search takes him to Los Angeles, but when he meets Alyssa, the smart, sexy agent who comes to his aid, he's immediately interested in pursuing more than just the next lead. All his wolf instincts tell him that she's The One.
FBI agent Alyssa Carson has investigated some weird stuff lately, and finding missing people drained of their blood definitely falls into that category. When following a clue leads her to Zane, she agrees to work with him and his team. She's attracted to the gorgeous Brit, but she doesn't have time for anything but finding answers.
When Zane and Alyssa discover the sinister truth, it'll take everything they have to make it out of this mission with their lives―and hearts―intact.

Review:
Well that was a bit of a twists that I didn’t see coming and I really don’t think the wolves did either. Tyler has taken readers on an amazing journey as her SWAT wolves have fallen in love and found their One again and again, and it has only gotten more and more interesting as we’ve developed. Each of the couples has brought their own unique spin to the story and we definitely never get bored watching them chase after each other and fall in love, but there were some new challenged in this story and an all new cast of supernatural characters that expanded the horizons of one and all.  Zane has traveled with some of his teammate to LA on the trail of their murderous chief after his ultimate betrayal in the end of the previous novel.  Close to giving up their search, Zane encounters a woman that rocks his world and makes his inner wolf howl, but soon they are both dragged into a much bigger investigation that either of them ever imagined.   Alyssa has spent the last several years chasing down the things that go bump in the night and when she encounters Zane and his pack-mates she knows immediately that they are most than just the humans they are pretending to be.  She is willing to work with them, but she doesn’t trust them right off the bat, however it doesn’t take long before they are both fighting an attraction that is undeniable.  Once they both give in to their needs, Alyssa and Zane come to realize their passion is not simply hormones and lust, but something much bigger and that connection becomes the only thing that can save them from their new deadly enemy.  I LOVED new direction this story took, brining in an all new cast of characters and leading us into a whole new world of danger and intrigue.  I am looking forward to seeing more of that storyline for sure. Zane was a sexy as hell British wolf, with a sense of humor under it all, and sweet protectiveness that made those he loved and cared for feel ultimately safe and loved beyond measure. He was always a kickass and deadly foe to his enemies and I loved when he teamed up wit his pack and friends in order to bring an end to threat facing LA. Alyssa was an odd character in the beginning, but in end I came to like her a lot, especially as she fell in love with Zane and showed how accepting she was of her male, and of course her courage and determination to protect those she deems innocent made her a true hero.  I am dying for the next in this series and cannot wait for the next in this newly reimagined and reinvigorated series.  Paige has definitely struck gold again and this series is going to be one of my favorites for a long time to come I have no doubt.
