Story:

               Episode 9: Like with a hurricane, the calm lasts only a short time before danger come back full force. Mori has finally accepted that  Michael Benedict had nothing of a good alpha and she is ready to fight for what she believes in….she just didn’t know it was going to be so soon. Kell suffers but stays determined.

My opinion:

                 Fabulous, I admit I was edgy before starting this last episode…. All the tips in episodes 8 was leading to something big and  it ‘s.  They really didn’t figured Michael Benedict well at all thinking he was going to be careful and heal first… which is strange since they considered him like a psychopath/sociopath and their kind are rarely reasonable.

 I loved the fact both Mori and Kell accepted they would need to act as a team, with each one having a speciality, a “point fort”. They aren’t perfect but each of them can give something to the others and they will need it quicker than expected and without a strategy ready.

I admire how Kell realise how he did made things harder for himself because of his pride and how determined he can be to still manage to move after all he suffered. The fact, his past and grandfather’s belongings will help made me smile and I think the shell oil thing was an interesting reminder of what Benedict wanted to destroy …and that made his use so ironic. Justice served right in his own way

I enjoyed discovering Mori a great swimmer and the fight with Michael was really well described.  The action, tension and timing were simply just what it needed to make this book an excellent one.

 Now for the ending…let just said that if the publisher doesn’t want more books in the series I will become crazy! I want more, I need to see how Archer is doing, how Kell will adjust with Mori and their respective obligation and I want Robin (preferably with Nik). Gadget has made his apparition so now I want him in action not just in teleconference.

Score:  5/5

Story:

               Episode 7: The Colonel decides to take control of the situation….unfortunately like often the big boss knows nothing about the situation and take unrealistic decision endangering their team…Kell must confront Michael alone while his teammates are sent to different locations…if the shifters agree to obey that is.

My opinion:

                 I can’t believe how angry I was while reading this episode… Mori still think she should act alone against Michael in hope to protect Kell…like she hasn’t learnt from her mistakes last time. Fortunately, Robin is rubbing off on her ^^ shifters women will become independent and determined. They don’t want to be left behind when they can fight…. I’m loving Robin more and more. And I’m sure Archer would have sided with them too. Nik is also too “ trained” to disobey but I was surprised to see him open himself to Mori and reveal his talents to her…

Then Kell can be so stupid… he knows Michael Benedict, he has the info and still follow blindly the orders…arf I wanted to slap him, to shake him. Even more after what he told Archer, he now bows in front of the colonel…he is brainwashed…his training really did him worse than good. The colonel doesn’t take the risks into account and could loose his team , I just hope he will regret and give them more liberty in the future.

Only two more episodes, I’m really curious about what  Susannah will reveal next and I do want more of Archer!! So I do recommend this book to you and I will wait with impatience for the next episode ( because yes there was a cliffhanger but I didn’t feel it was an hard one… not like the one of chapter 4 at least I guess after such an hard one I became stronger^^)

Score:  5/5

Discussion:

1)       Do you think people who give orders ( in a “ normal” job  or in military) should have been first doing the lambda jobs, to learn the reality of it before earning their place in the deciding ranks?

2)       What do you think about serials ( books released in several episodes)? Have you tried some? Is  Storm force your first try?

Storm Force Episode 6 by Susannah Sandlin ( review and discussion)

Hello to all,

Welcome to our weekly Storm force review and discussion! Episode 6 has been released and in a way it gives us a small reprieve, a really short one though. I can tell you I was nearly trembling when came the time to read this… after the  eventful and heartbreaking two last episodes with cliffhanger really hard I wasn’t sure what to expect just that I wanted to know more. No real cliffhanger this time, thanks god, I’m not sure my heart would have supported a new stressful ending in a row but not an happy end either (still 3 episodes to get it ^^ no despair)

 Now I do understand those of you who prefer to wait until the release of all chapters to start reading this book but remember if you want to do that, buying the ebook now for only 1,99 is a great offer and you will receive the new release without anything else to do (and all the precedents episodes of course). Once the serial is finished the price will go up. For those who don’t want digital edition, the book will be released in print and other format on June 18, mark the date on your calendar or pre order it already you won’t regret it.

Story:

               Episode 6:Kell and is time have started the extraction/rescue mission, still  without the knowledge of their commander. Archer and Robin are at the first line while Kell and Nik take care of the system details…humans and shifters against shifters only…precision and time are needed because another threat is still hanging.

My opinion:

          This week my heart really did flip flop…while I was reassured to see each chapter ending at the right moment without tension or stress, I really felt like a member of the team with some pressure on my shoulder to make everything right….with some angst moments necessary since it’s a kind of thriller after all but also happy one, romance let’s not forget it … action and crushing, devastating news.

Mori is starting to loose hope and to fall ill from infection when she manages to communicate a little with Robin to prepare her rescue. While she is happy about that, she is also curious and a little afraid when she understands that she doesn’t know who are the shifters helping her, she is thinking about Kell but not having taken the time to discuss with him she has no idea who is team-mates are.

I really liked to see more of Archer in this chapter, he is really capable. However that’s Robin that surprised me the most, in a way she acted quite maternal with Mori, calming her, confiding in her and encouraging the little dire wolf. So far we had see her sense of humour and a little of her job but this time we have large moment with her and we can see what’s under the “military” part of our eagle. I’m also really curious about what Nik saw… 

We also get some new about the governor and what is happening in the city when we also get some info on the New Orleans part of the mission and the rest of the team Gadget and Adam. …. Let just say I do hope there was a little misunderstanding? Some confusion, disappearance anything but not what we learn here!! Because even if we just heard about those, I already like them and care for them ….

Time is becoming and issue and the weather could complicates things but our friends are really determined and if  they can’t prove what Michael has done, they still want revenge and deliver justice….even more after Mori’s confession.

Score:  5/5

Storm Force Episode 5 by Susannah Sandlin ( review and discussion)

Hi!

Welcome to our weekly Storm force review and discussion! Finally episode 5 has been released which comes right on time for those who follow the serials and have been suffering from the heartbreaking and anxious cliffhanger at the end of episode 4….one week was really too long to wait when it ends in such circumstances.

Now this week we get a wonderful new episode, but also another wonderful news…. For readers who want to get the print edition (like I do) the release as been moved to 18 June instead of July isn’t great?

So First i will remind you that the kindle price is only 1,99 dollars at the moment and with that you will get all the episodes already released and the new one as soon as it is without additional cost.  With the newest schedule it means the book will be completed in May but for the print edition, and audo etc you will have to wait until JUNE when it will be released  and at that time the kindle price will also go up so let you be tempted.

Story:

               Episode 5:His team finds Kell handcuffed to the bed and the “ suspect” has disappeared but as they laugh a little about it, Mori nature is revealed.  At the same time Mori is suffering but pain is the least of her trouble now as reality of Michael‘s nature comes to lights. All her hopes to be able to change something disappear…as Michael threathens Kell and explain how the rest of her life will be like.

However Kell isn’t backing down and once the shock has passed with his team, without his superior’s knowledge, he starts to strategize how to help save Mori and how to counter Michael’s possible plan, when they discover that the situation is a lot worse that the one they envisioned.

My opinion:

          Arg!!! I’m biting my nails again!... and I will keep doing it as long as the serials continues it seems. Last episode ended with a cliffhanger on a hard moment after the tension went up a few notches but this time it’s even worse. Michael is so cruel and disgusting! He doesn’t want to win he wants to crush Mori and he dared to complain last time?! For me he has nothing of what an alpha need to have! He just a dictator! But I guess I’m even more angry at Leslie, we just learn about her, but the idea she could go with his plan, to accept such a situation, all the while being human?! I would hate her if it’s true!! She should team with Mori not planning to steal her children! And Michael has other evil plans, it’s not just Mori but he want to destroy a lot more…. I’m nearly sure he broke some laws with his actions to the governor, and I’m not thinking human laws but he is covering his tracks he is not only evil he is also a coward!

 We do have a revelation about Mori’s nature and that’s great. We also discover another Member of team Kell: Archer the feline shifter with a lot of charm. I appreciated to see Kell destabilised and at the same time being able to put his judgement in question and rethink his position. He wants to save Mori, it’s his own priority but he is able to see that his team is trying to help. He has a new view on the shifters on his team too but at the same time he is learning new this about shifters system and it’s not reassuring or pleasing to him. Not to me either, I can’t understand how Archer seems so calm about it like it’s just normal and nothing is wrong about it. In a way, I think Kell is in a similar situation than Mori… having to wait, bid his time until he can act and put that time to think about everything he has discovered but at least he is in better condition for it.

 I really dislike the idea Michael has on the women… and I can’t wait to see Robin  to prove him how wrong he was as for Mori… she needs to keep her mind and not make another mistake…she can’t trust him and even less submit to this dement! .. oki I’m even more angry at her parents….and I do hope the old alpha didn’t know about it ( arf Michael could have killed him with treachery  just to have his place it wouldn’t surprise me.)

Next chapter can’t come soon enough now, you really need to join us and discover this excellent book ( which makes honour to his “thriller” part) but  Susannah managed to make us laugh a little, to release a little of the tension with humour when his team discover Kell but then back to angst and psychological violence.. really it’s well done.

Score:  5/5
