Review: Echoed Defiance

Echoed Defiance by Kristen Banet
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So ... at the end of the last book we hear people talking off screen and they are remarking on Jacky's likeness to someone. As a reader, to me that wa a reference to Jacky's twin sister who is a human doctor.

At the start of this novel Jacky is contacted by a werecat who has a human asking to talk to her. Turns out the human is Jacky's twin, she and some of the other medical professionals were incensed by the abuse of a female werewolf from the Russian pack, so incensed that they colluded in the murder of the Russian Alpha when he was rushed to the supernatural hospital where they work.

The Russian pack has become too big, too powerful, and the Alpha and his lieutenants are ruling through fear, intimidation, and violence. They murdered the female wolf to stop her from complaining to the North American Werewolf Council and now they are tracking down the Alpha's medical team and terminating with extreme prejudice. When Jacky and Heath defend her sister from the Russian pack they escalate and kidnap Jacky's parents, brother-in-law and two nieces. Now Jacky needs to balance the rules of her new life with her love and loyalty to her human family.

There's no real surprise reveal in this novel, so I didn't see the twist coming as I have with some of the other books - oh, shoot I've just realised that there is at the end and I guessed about 50%, its fast, and furious and violent and Jacky learns a lot about herself and how she fits into the world.
