Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Maggie is a vet, a healer, desperately trying to heal her dog, who is dying of a nasty mass that's not responding to conventional treatment and into her life walks Nicolas who insists he knows best about her future and what's wrong. Honestly I'd have stuck him with a seditative to get away. He explains nothing really to her but expects her to follow him blindly. She has to face up to her abilities and help the Draicon's beat the evil Morphs.

Sheesh, communication folks, if I wade through another book where the man fails to communicate and the overwhelming reviews are about how sexy he is there will be some screaming. Communication isn't just for the bed folks. And of course she was a virgin.

It just show more about gets 3 stars, I felt like I was in the middle of a series rather than the start and I really didn't get some of what was going on with some of the characters, some of the males were truly obnoxious. For a group who needed to work together to defeat evil others they really didn't seem to understand the concept of teamwork. show less
The Empath
3 Stars

Nicolas is the strongest and fiercest warrior amongst the Draicon. Following his exile from the pack, Nicolas is still determined to protect his fellow wolves by locating the long-lost empath. Maggie Sinclair is a dedicated veterinarian unaware of her true nature until she becomes the target of the Draicon's enemies.

The basic premise of The Empath is similar to many books in this subgenre of paranormal romance and does not offer anything truly original. Moreover, the characters are very one-dimensional and not particularly likable.

Maggie's constant denial of her empathic abilities despite irrefutable evidence becomes tiresome after a while. Similarly, Nick's tendency toward running hot and cold on the issue of show more consummating his relationship with Maggie is also annoying - either he needs to mate with Maggie to ensure her safety and save his alpha or he doesn't!

The villains are more slimy and disgusting than truly threatening although the climax and resolution are action packed and satisfying.

All in all, there are better werewolf series available and the secondary couple are not interesting enough to continue on to the next installment.
