I jumped on this book the second I saw it on NetGalley and dropped all my plans in order to read it. I'm obsessed with these shifters and when I heard this book was going to have a human heroine I was ten times more excited.

Zander is one of the quiet pack members, which drew me into his characters and made me want to find out all his secrets. I really liked getting to learn more about him and seeing him when he went all possessive with Gwen. She may not have Shifter strength but she held her own with Zander, and wouldn't let him treat her as a weak human. They had a strong connection from the beginning and their fighting each other only added to it and added some of that much loved sexual tension.

Suzanne Wright having a human heroine in this series put a new unique spin on it and I was extremely happy with the new direction. I thought it was so different from her other books in that there was only one character who had the animal instincts, which made a big difference. It made it really interesting to see how Zander's wolf felt and then to see how Gwen herself was feeling about being with a shifter.

There was a great deal of suspense and action featured as well and it had me on the edge of my seat from page one. Bad guys were coming from every direction making my heart race and then some ass kicking was going on. I couldn't get enough of everything and never had that moments where I thought there was too much going on. This author is one of my favorites and next time someone asks me why I'm just going to point them in the direction of this book.

Damn, this was a good book, actually not just good it was FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

Lure Of Oblivion fast became my favorite of the whole series, I held my breath through the entire story!

The new setting and characters gave the series a fresh new lift which I've craved in this series for a while now. Zander and Gwen's story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, not just the outside conflict but their internal fears of letting others in, both Zander and Gwen had deep past hurts to overcome.

Zander is perfection, he's your typical overbearing alpha male with a heart of gold (one of the reasons why I love this series, are these men). I love Gwen, her courage, and sassy attitude. She never waived in the face of danger. The way Ms. Wright wrote Gwen really made her stand out from all the other heroines in this series, she made sure to make Gwen, the human, just as strong as any shifter female. I actually found Gwen to be the strongest heroine I've ever read in any book, the way she held herself and knowing that what she was doing was right was all the strength and reasoning she needed as she stood against vile evil men and women.

I'm already desperate for the next Phoenix and Mercury book!
