Just woke up. Power out due to a big storm. NO COFFEE! Hungry. Checked my messages (Love batteries, and smartphone hotspots). One hell of a lot of comments on foods for the reception is just plain torture! 👿

Luke is a very complex person, even for a teenager. I had a lover that did suffer from panic attacks and know how horrendous something like this can be for someone. I know all doctors are not the same, and hope that Luke will find the right doctor to help him deal with this problem. Your writing has created a character that is engaging and his need compelling. I look forward to learning more about him.

Splinter is a perfect ending the the Homestead Pride series. The war drums announce a major conflict in the Lycan world that pits family and friends against family and friends. Alpha Jon is head of the forces that include many different packs and species in an all out assault on the forces lead by the monstrous leader of the East Coast Pack and his allies. Jon has many resources, some of which he doesn't even know about. His problem is to destroy Angus, the monstrous Alpha with as few deaths as possible. Written with the same excitement and fun, this tale of magic and evil has a lot of unexpected turns and surprises, but satisfies the readers soul at the end. A great read, but start with the first book in the series to appreciate it fully.

A simple but beautiful wedding. I am sure they are a very handsome pair standing saying their vows. It was emotional for everyone, but more so for Vincent knowing his parents were watching. It sounds as though they will have some time away from the responsibilities and pressures. A cabin in the Black Forest sounds like a very romantic place for their honeymoon.

A very nice ending with a family reunion and a new generation on the way! I have enjoyed this very much. Thanks for the wonderful stories and the effort you put in to their creation.

Almost there and I have to say I've really enjoyed this series. Alice seems to enjoy an enchanted life. I was surprised that she has already found her true mate. Jon's punishment fits his "crime" and the team will definitely do a great job with the restructuring of packs on the East Coast.

You got me on so many different twists in this chapter. Dylan being shot, Angus being killed by Rhisi, Alice taking out Rhisi. I didn't see any of that coming. I was disappointed that Angus got off so easily.

The battle seemed to be won and Angus is dead. Rhisi was a big surprise. He is definitely crazy and out for power. He thinks all the death, pain and sorrow can be justified because, "I don't waste life."

Travis and Minerva making eye at each other? It would explain a lot of the connections in this series. I know that there will be bloodshed in the battle to come. Just hope most of it is Angus' blood. I remember so many nice people in the ECP from the first book. Patrick has a lot of connections with these people. It would be nice if those in the ECP who have hated Angus, but remained in the ECP could be organized as an additional force. There are probably some of the Hunters in the building that also do not support Angus. Could Patrick get help on the inside of the building also?

Some really great reveals in this chapter. I have an answer (I think) to the idiot who wanted to know why Alice was in the chamber. Goldie's pack was attacked and the intended target was probably Alice. Being smart, Alice probably got the attackers talking by pretending to be a scared, crying child of no consequence. Of course she had already made sure the camera on her computer was recording the whole thing. She relied on the adults treating her as a child of no consequence just like she did with Goldie's two suitors when it came for her mother to select one of them as a mate. Alice is a prime witness. Again, just a guess on my part, but it fits Alice and Goldie so well.

Another new character to like, Maui. He and his folks are fun and laid back. I hope they get treaties arranged for the Pacific Island pack and the West Coast packs.

I like the addition of Aaron. He just seems to fit this group.. In fact, he is much like Colt who, if I remember correctly, spied on Quint and Zeke when they had sex. I may have the characters wrong, but the spying on another couple definitely happened.

Since I am already hooked on the series, I'm going to slide pass these review chapters. A slightly different POV, but essentially the same information.

I too missed the flashback message and was surprised to see Gene. I was also surprised at the number of people missing, because it seemed like there were a few dozen in Drums of War. That there are more than 200 was shocking. Of course, we all know who is behind these atrocities. Is there a magical way to make Angus feel all the pain, fear, and suffering of these people and their families over a 5-10 year time as he slowly dies?

Homestead Pride is a series of 5 books that tells a wonderful story about Homestead Pack from its earliest times. These novels are ingenious and entertaining and all worthy of a reader's attention. The books flow easily from one to the next, although books one to three can stand alone. Drums of War however is best read in order, because of the complex relationships of the characters and history of the plot. Homestead Pack has a treaty with the Salt Lake City Pack who has requested help in finding two young missionaries from their pack who have disappeared. Jon, the Alpha of the Homestead Pack, assigns this task to a very strong and experienced team of pack Hunters, but then they disappear also. Dylan and three of his bonded friends who are all pack Enforcers are sent out to find the missing Lycans with the addition of a falcon shifter, Phuong. Using their various powers they set off on a dangerous adventure to find the missing Lycans. These characters are engaging and complex. Their task is dangerous as they face many challenges along the way. The author has a great ability in writing dialogue that is both fun and informative while sounding real. I highly recommend this story, but believe it is appreciated more if read after the first three excellent stories in the series. Happy reading All!

Write whatever you want as long as Angus dies an agonizingly slow, painful, gory death.

I will miss Gene. He was one of the best characters in these stories.

Interesting trial, but I definitely agreed with the verdict. Phuong just earned herself two husbands. That should stir up things at home. The only problem is whether they can go back with her. They both seem important to their own pack. I wonder if their children would be pegasi.

The solar event was much less traumatic than I anticipated. It seems as though surrounded by family makes a world of difference.

Hi Albert I'm doing well. Reading a lot today and just relaxing. How are you?

Dylan's family got a lot larger much to the shock of Rhisi. Phuong seems to be in line for two husbands, and Aunt Minerva is a kick. Great chapter!

I am hoping that Aunt Minerva can help Dylan deal with the upcoming eclipse. Also, that the village and Dylan's team can protect him during the eclipse when his power can be stolen. I am sure that Angus has made sure Dylan is where Angus can find him when the eclipse happens.

As much talk about a triad relationship here, so far nothing has come of it. It would be fun if it finally happens. I can easily see Phuong, Marcus and Rhava together. Won't that be a shock for the Alpha of RVF! 🤔

Rhava is being hospitable and friendly, but I agree his brother send off Kai vibs. Phuong's evaluation as well a reaction to Rhava does hold some hope for the rescue team. I am looking forward to the explanation as to why Rhava has so many captives. It does seem that he is interested in some sort of compromise.

I just had to go online to listen to this song...for the hundredth time. And I can understand Dylan's reluctance considering Zeke's endowment.
