Oh my this is an easy five for me because I'm just loving the Mercury Pack stories. With this book not only do we get a hot shifter romance but I loved that Madisyn was part of the sanctuary caring for young lone shifters that we read about several books back . Plus she's a rare feline that until reading this I'd never even heard of . NowI'm even more in awe because the obvious research and attention to detail really helped to bring everything to life as we learn just how tenacious Madisyn really is.
Now don't worry this isn't a one sided story and our hero Bracken was a total surprise to this reader. If blunt he hadn't really make much of an impact on me before but this time he's larger than life and twice as dangerous. Plus he has such a sad backstory dragging him down that honestly would melt the hardest heart.
Great plot, amazing characters and such a steamy read all goes together to make this book a dream to read and I hope this series never ends !
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

Echoes of Fire is the fourth book in The Mercury Pack Series. As each shifter meets his mate, I get more enthralled with this wonderful world! Madisyn Drake and Bracken Slater are like oil and water OR fire and gasoline. They have known each other for a while and yet neither had any idea that they were mates. When Madisyn finds herself in a heated situation it is broody and overbearing Brack that lands himself in the middle of her mess. It is in the middle of the mess that they discover that they are mates. Although the two are complete opposites, the passion and intensity of the mating bond become too much for either to run away from. When Brack and Madisyn give into the bond, they become an unstoppable force.

Told in multiple POV, Echoes of Fire is another stunning addition to the Mercury Pack Series. Suzanne Wright is a Master Storyteller and everytime another shifter finds his mate, I am always ready and waiting to read. With action, suspense, passion, and complex characters, Echoes of Fire is an absolute must-read for anyone who enjoys a smoking hot paranormal romance!

I really enjoyed this book. Madisyn and Bracken were a great couple. I had been wondering what cat species she was for a while. The book was worth the wait.

This book was wonderful, of course! All of Suzanne’s Wright’s books rock! Bracken was everything I love in a hero and Madisyn just killed it. Their chemistry was smoking - I don’t think any of her shifter stories really top Bradisyn’s chemistry. Although I thought Bracken would end up with the margay shifter (her name is escaping me right now), I can’t say I’m disappointed he ended up with Madisyn instead.

I feel like this story had a little more activity - plot wise - to it than some of her more recent stories, which is great. I loved how the romance was balanced by the rest of the storyline. Sometimes with authors, becuase they have their own formula, it may seem like you’re reading the same book with different names. But Suzanne changed it up a bit.

I love both main characters and also the characters from previous books. There was no unnecessary drama between Madisyn and Bracken. They knew where they stood as individuals and what they had to do to make their relationship work. I loved that they both accepted their fate and worked TOGETHER at a pace Madisyn needed.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

What a fun book - it is filled with intrigue and drama, lots of romance, so many funny parts, and such a love of friends even in different clans.

When Bracken and Madisyn feel the mate bond, they both kind of panic as they really didn't think they were interested in each other that way. Which leads to more than one person trying to cause Madisyn to doubt that Bracken is all in their mating.

The drama of protecting Daisy from Archer keeps them busy trying to stay alive. I kind of wondered if there would be a collusion and was not surprised when it did happen.

Those kids kept me laughing throughout the book! When Cassidy and Willow talk, it is hilarious!

Still can't wait for Dominic to meet his mate, that should be an interesting book! And Cain is going to have a wait for his mate to grow up - that is kind of a strange situation for him to him to want to be near his mate but she is still too young and needs to grow up.

I love that we see all the other couples because they are a pack and so involved in each other's lives. And Greta acting holier than Kathy like she never did the same things to her "boys" was too funny to read!

I stayed up way to late to finish this book as I could not put it down! I love the two series of shifters and eagerly await the next book in each series!

Suzanne Wright has done it again! She produces book after book that seem to effortlessly hit every one of my 'things that make a perfect story' buttons and has me laughing and sighing out loud as I'm reading!

I loved Bracken and Madisyn and was fully invested in them getting their happily ever after. As always with Wright the plot was top notch with appearances from various shifter groups and characters the never distract from the developing relationship between the protagonists.

An absolutely amazing story, and I'm in complete denial that there is only Eli and Dominic left! We need a sudden influx of hot homeless wolves! (Come on, Suzanne Wright could totally make this plausible!)

4.5 smartass shifter smut stars

I love Suzanne Wright’s PNR series and was so excited to go back into her shifter world as we’re back once again with the Mercury Pack. And as expected, this is a fun, fast-paced read with laugh-out-loud banter and ribbing, great action and intrigue, and a super-sexy, functional and emotional love story. Bracken and Madisyn’s story is lots of fun and I loved it!

Bracken is an enforcer with the Mercury Pack. He’s a big, badass wolf shifter, but he’s understandably struggling with the violent and devastating murder of his family, still raging with anger and grief and feelings of hopelessness for his inability to protect those dearest to him.

“Lie to me, and tell me I’m not totally fucked up.”


Madisyn is a pallas cat shifter (yes, I had to google what a pallas cat is – very badass in their own right!). She works both at the shifter shelter that has been a part of previous books, and at one of the bars owned by the Mercury Pack, and though she and Bracken know each other, they’ve never really spent time together or gotten to know each other. But put two strong-willed, smart-mouthed shifters together and, with Suzanne Wright, you know you’re in for a great ride!

“Someone ate a full bowl of Bitch Flakes this morning.”
“Dude, I ate two.”
… “I’ve eaten chicken breasts that were bigger than your tits.”
“And I’ve worn heels that are longer than the dick you appear to be packing.”


But there is something between them. And when Madisyn is attacked and Bracken is dragged into the unfolding drama, one moment with their walls down is all it takes for them to recognise the other as their true mates, and from then it’s all on!

“Kiss me, Madisyn.”
“I need space—“
“And you’ll get it.” For a few hours anyway. “I’m leaving right now. But I want a kiss first.”
“You want a lot of things from me.”
He shook his head. “No, baby. I want everything.”


I LOVE the mythology of this world! Each shifter has a true mate – the one person that is destined for them. Of course they can fall in love with others, but there will never be anyone more perfect for them than their true mate. And that bond is accepted and respected by all. So when Bracken and Madisyn recognise that in each other, it’s life changing. But they’re both very realistic about what it means for them.

“You’re no coward. Which is a good thing, because you’re in for a rough ride.” He honestly felt sorry for her.
She blinked, unsure if he meant that in a sexual sense. Her libido sure hoped so. “Excuse me?”
“Look at me, Madisyn. Take a good long look. I’m a fucking wreck. Barely functioning. How do you think I’ll handle having a mate? I’ll tell you.” He leaned forward, pressing his body against hers. “I’ll want everything from you. Actually, that’s a lie. I’ll demand it.”

“Fate didn’t just pair us up like a meddling matchmaker. Your soul is the other half of mine, just as mine is the other half of yours. It’s as simple and as complicated as that.”


One of the things I love best about this series is that the love stories are so freaking functional! The couples talk about their issues, they’re open with what they’re feeling, how their actions impact on each other (and their animal counterparts), and they deal with it. It’s so incredibly refreshing, and Bracken and Madisyn are no different. Bracken acknowledges that he has issues, Madisyn admits that she needs more than a mythical bond to join them together – she wants love, and the prospect of living in a pack after being alone for so long is also very daunting for her. They have things to work through, but they do just that – they work with it, and they honestly work to build something together and it’s just awesome!

“I won’t be pushed away,” Bracken warned. “I won’t be kept at a distance. I won’t tolerate walls or barriers – not just because I won’t allow there to be anything standing between us, but because you don’t need to protect yourself from me. You hear me, Madisyn? I’ll move at your pace, but you have to let me in. You have to get used to not being alone anymore.”


But while they are finding their way forward together, Madisyn is being targeted by a local bear shifter clan, and there’s another shifter who has her sights set on Bracken. They are in a dangerous situation, but they have the support of their pack, and the stage is set for an exciting ride.

I love this book. It’s fun and funny with a nice amount of action and a sexy (slightly filthy) romance that is just gorgeous. The audiobook is once again narrated by Jill Redfield, and she’s fantastic, doing a great job in bringing this whole world to life. I’m excited for more from this series!

4.5 stars.

This is a great edition to the Mercury Pack series. Like all of Ms. Wrights books that I've had the privilege to read, I didn't want to put this book down. I was up until the wee hours of the morning to finish it off. I just had to know what happened! The book adds more depth to the Mercury and Phoenix Packs dynamics. We meet more people and get a glimpse at the previously mated couples to see how they are faring. I was easily transported to this world that Ms. Wright has created for her paranormal readers. I felt like I was watching everything unravel. I liked the way the issues were dealt with in this book and I would definitely recommend everyone read it. I know this review is skimpy on details, but I really don't want to ruin the story for anyone. Just know that Madisyn Drake is NOT to be messed with, and not just because Bracken has her back! I enjoyed everything about this book except for the fact that I now must wait for the next one! 5 stars...I will be reading this one again.

I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Love this series. Suzanne Wright gets it perfect every time. I am a fan of paranormal and she has become my favorite. This was a great story about two different people with reasons to keep them apart but they work thru it and it's not easy. This is very sensual as all in these series have been.

Let me start this review by stating that I am a die hard Suzanne Wright fangirl. She is one of my favorite paranormal romance authors. She always gives me what I want in a book. Now that being said I wasn't super excited about Bracken's book. I didn't dislike Bracken or anything he just didn't stand out to me in previous books. So going into this read, being a Suzanne Wright book I figured I would like it, but didn't plan on loving it. OMG I Freaking loved it. Bracken blew me away. Who knew Bracken would be a yummy, sexy talking, panty melting beast?
Bracken Slater totally wowed me. He was super sexy, protective, a little damaged and at times dark, but still sweet. He also kicked major ass all over this book. Losing his whole family has changed him forever. I love that he not only fought his demons, but that he was open and honest about them to Madisyn. He had me madly in love with him 2 chapters in. Madisyn was perfect for Bracken. I love how Suzanne Wright takes these animals I know little to nothing about makes them her shifters. She shines a light on these unique and endearing animals and writes some of the cutest, kick ass, shifters I have ever read. Madisyn was no exception. She was a Pallas Cat, which I had never heard of till this book. A number of Youtube videos later and I'm in love with the cute little pallas cat. I love how Madisyn was strong but didn't stomp all over Bracken's fears or let him rule her. God but I loved her sass. And to say she kicked ass would be an understatement. She was amazing heroine. I think I have a bit of a girl crush.

Bracken and Madisyn were burning up my kindle. They had a smokin' hot connection and like I said up top Bracken was a beast. Smexy time had me feeling hot flashes. I enjoyed the plot very much, and I always love getting to read about my favorite couples from past books. This book had me cracking up from the start to finish. I mean cackling like a mad woman. I loved this book, I love this series, I love all of Suzanne Wright's other series and I just love Suzanne Wright. If you have never read any of her books you should give it a try!

When I saw there was a new Mercury Pack series I got seriously giddy! Suzanne Wright delivers simply brilliant Shifter PNR tales that draw me in, keep me hooked and make me addicted to her characters.

She gives us sexy, hot AF, dominating Alpha Males that make me giddy, and sexy, sassy hot AF women that keep these strong shifter males on their toes.

I have been intrigued about Bracken since we found out in the last book, Lure of Oblivion, what happened to his family, oh how my heart break for him. I couldn't imagine the pain he felt. I was so happy he got to meet his mate. His sassy feline brought him back from barely surviving to living again.

I NEVER want this series to end

ARC received in exchange for an honest review from the Author and Netgalley

Echoes of Fire is the fourth book in the Mercury Pack series by Suzanne Wright. It brings to light new faces along with some of our favorite characters from the earlier books in the series. The story continues with threats escalating against the Mercury pack and some of its members.

This book introduces a rare breed of cat shifter Madisyn Drake, a shelter worker and barmaid. She protects her shelter residents with great dedication. So when a bully alpha and his pack come looking for a former resident they find their paths blocked by Madisyn.

Bracken Slater, enforcer of the Mercury Pack has earned his reputation as an indomitable predator. He begins to sense the attraction pulsating between him and Madisyn and knows that she’s his true mate. This snaps him out of his grief and guilt. But he also knows that, given her independent state, he needs to tread with care—no matter how fierce his desires.

Together, Bracken and Madisyn work together to make sense of their feelings while battling danger at every turn in order to protect themselves and their pack. This book is truly spellbinding. Suzanne Wright creates characters with such depth that you just can't help rooting for them.

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC

I love this series! Suzanne Wright writes the best characters! They are so funny and so vulnerable at the same time. I have wanted to know Madisyn's story since we first met her. And I had to look up the kind of cat she was (I won't say in case you haven't read the book) but I hadn't heard of the type she is and it's so cute! I love that she's just a bit crazy. Bracken was an ok MC. I understand his issues. and I LOVED how alpha/protective he is. I really don't know why I didn't fall all over him. He is basically the perfect caveman shifter, that I love but he just did nothing for me. I loved him and Madisyn together. They fit perfectly and helped each other with their problems.

I will always read everything suzanne writes. Her characters are sassy and make me laugh and I love it!

I got this book free for an honest review from netgalley. I have brought and read almost all of Suzanne Wright's books series she has wrote. She is a very talented writer and one of my favourites. This book is a continuation of the 2 series Phoenix and Mercury pack series i would highly recommend you read them as people from th book before are in this book. This book is an exciting, entertaining and enjoyable read i would highly recommend this book to read. I am looking forward to how the both series evolve but mainly I want to see Dominic's book and who he ends up with and what his pack mates do.🐺

When heartache meets guilt and passion meets loneliness, how does balance happen? Madisyn and Bracken are two broken halves of the same soul but before her altercation with the sows they avoided each other like the plague. Afterwards, sparks fly and embers burn while they fight to join their lives together, set peace to the past and forge a future as a couple.

Suzanne always writes her female leads witty, smart, and with a wicked sense of humor.  These aren't woman you walk all over, they are alphas in their own right.  Madisyn is no different.  She strong and independent but, like most woman, knows when she needs to back down and let her man do things his way.  She's struggled a lot in her life but, that doesn't stop her from seeing the value in the new people around her and embracing them into her life.  That's really what I liked most about this book.  No games.  

Bracken has been waiting for his story to be told.  It isn't a fun one but, it shaped him into the man he is and he is pretty amazing.  His sense of loyalty and duty is strong.  He goes above and beyond for those he loves.  Sometimes without even realizing he's doing it.

This was a fun and intense, fast paced storyline that kept you hooked from the get go.  There were no lulls or moments where you would even consider losing interest in what was going on.  Another great addition to an already fantastic series.

I simply couldn't put it down, this book got me hooked from the first page on and I didn't put it down till the end. I literally carried my e-reader around my place, while trying to get things done.

Madisyn is amazing and I fell for her from, yeah, I think from the first strike of her claw on - or something like that. Somehow I ended up on Youtube checking out videos of a certain kind of felines. I had never heard of this kind of cat before but I won't forget them and I'll always see them kicking a...nother shifter. Or two. Or three. Or...well, you get the meaning. "Cute, furry bundles of terror", as people describe her breed, indeed. At least if you are her enemy or threaten someone she cares for. Madisyn is just that awesome, no wonder that Bracken falls for her even if it takes him some time to realize how completely and irrevocably he has fallen for her. And Bracken - after everything that guy has been through, I just wanted him to find love and peace and happiness again.
With enemies piling up rather quickly and some issues of their own, Bracken and Madisyn have to fight for their happiness - and for their lives.

Lots of action, love (and sex) and great characters - this book is another capitvating and amazing book in this series. I can't wait for the next!

5 stars

Do any of you save chocolate or a good bottle of wine(whiskey) for a time when you'll really need it? I do. I also tend to do it with books. I do it so much with books that if they were actual physical copies and not ebooks I'd be on an episode of Hoarders. If ebooks were not invented I think my probable cause of death would have been "Accidentally buried alive under avalanche of books in her home".

I hoarded this book too. I pre-ordered it and then I requested at NetGalley and then spend weeks looking at it on my kindle app with my brain doing a fair impression of Gollum whispering "My precious" every so often while simultaneously thinking that I must save it for a truly, rainy day. I couldn't hold out anymore, I caved and here I am after reading and loving it, my book slump feelings gone and my need for a good book satisfied. I knew Suzanne Wright would do the trick.

See, the brilliant Suzanne Wright took a pallas cat and mated it with a wolf and it was wonderful! I said it before the woman can make awesome mates out of anything. If she decides to mate a flamingo and a wolf I'll still read it and love it.

Madisyn Drake is a lone shifter. After being orphaned and shipped around she finally finds a place at the shelter along with Makenna. If you have been reading this series and Phoenix Pack you'll remember Makenna as Ryan's mate. (If you haven't please go read the first book from the Phoenix Pack series, trust me, you are missing out!) After teasing us in the previous books we find out pretty early on that Madisyn is a pallas cat shifter. They are cute and fluffy and absolutely vicious.

Bracken Slater is an enforcer in the Mercury Pack has been through hell. He lost his entire family including his baby nephew in an extremist attack. The book picks up after some time has passed. He is still dealing with grief and guilt but not to an extreme level. Everyone in the pack is concerned for him and rallies around him but he feels lost and contemplates roaming for a while.

By chance he's called to pick up Madisyn following an altercation of hers at a shifter bar. Though the two of them aren't chummy,they are attracted to each other and Bracken appreciates that Madisyn still treats him the same way she did before the tragedy. With goodnatured sass, zingers and lots of bitchiness.

"Someone ate a full bowl of Bitch Flakes this morning."
"Dude, I ate two."
[...]
"I've eaten chicken breasts that were bigger than your tits."
"And I've worn heels that are longer than the dick you appear to be packing."

Albeit, a tiny part of the bitchiness is down to Madisyn being touch-hungry and irritated and in pain with it. When Bracken realizes, he takes it up on himself to help but soon loses control and brands her. He decides he's through ignoring his attraction to her and he will be the only one satisfying her from then on.

There was not a thing that I did not enjoy in this book. Not a single moment where I thought "Why can't the nincompoop open his mouth and say it?" or "My God, why are you so stupid!". None of that. There was not a word out of place. I loved all of it start to finish. SW has this winning formula she follows and I'm a sucker for it. I loved that we didn't have to wait ages for them to realise they are mates. Their relationship was build with honesty and communication. And of course scorching hot sexy times. The dirty talking hit epic levels and sealed the 5 stars from me. The Mercury Pack embraced Madisyn and made her feel welcome, well mostly. And almost unbelievably Greta wasn't annoying.

SW build a world I have completely fallen in love with. She created these two packs and made them into family.

"A family who argues but resolves any conflicts. A family who supports each other and works as a unit to keep it strong."

A family I can't stop reading about. And as long as she writes about them I'll keep reading. I want to read about all their kids growing up and finding mates. Cain and Cassidy, and Harleys cousins! If you love paranormal romance and shifters, then this is the author for you.

Yet another great story.
Love all Suzanne's books and this is no exceptions!
We finally get the story about Bracken (we got a glimpse in the previous book about him)
