5. DEATH WISH (2012)

Power. Werewolf Alexa O’Brien has more power than she can handle. Learning how to control and use it effectively is at the top of her priority list. The one man who has the knowledge she needs is the vampire she loathes, Harley Kayson. He just so happens to be the sire of her vampire lover, Arys Knight.
Alexa’s wolf mate, Shaz, wants her to feel secure with the power she commands, especially with unwelcome new werewolves in town. Despite sharing some steamy encounters with Alexa, Arys and Shaz rarely see eye to eye. This time is no different.
Arys doesn’t want Alexa anywhere near Harley. When desperation drives Alexa to make a deal with Harley, Arys is livid. Conflict threatens to destroy Alexa’s relationship with Arys, but due to their eternal bond, they can never truly walk free of each other.
When Arys teams up with his sire to revisit their sordid past, the pain he and Alexa inflict on one another rises to a scathing boil. Alexa comes to realize that her only solution is to fulfill Arys’ greatest wish and worst nightmare, regardless of the consequences . . . .

ALTHOUGH THESE BOOKS HAVE BEEN OUT FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW, THERE WILL STILL BE NEW READERS - SO ANY DRAMATIC SPOILERS NEED TO BE HIGHLIGHTED AS USUAL WITH A .... NEW READERS BE AWARE THAT THERE MAY BE SOME SPOILERS

NOTE!! all previous posts are under the Archives thread wher you can still read them; but any new comments need to be made here.

Are you now combining all books in one thread? How will that work for those still on book 1 who may not want to see book 3 talk? Just wondering.

The books have now been out for quite a while so we will use spoiler s as we do on all the others, I still just need to tidy up 2 more author threads the same way.

Oh, my gosh. Reread. After Lex finds Arys double teaming a woman with Harley. After she has a very close encounter with Kale in her grief and rage. She is with Shaz, and kissing him with her whole heart and soul and wishing it could just be the two of them without the vampire power and drama. Even though Arys had hurt her, she could deal. She thinks to herself that, "If Shaz were to do such a thing, it would destroy me".

I don't feel good about this. Blond and Blue is ... Well, it is just worrying me.

Trina--Like that. We are pretty good about adding spoiler stars when we might be posting beyond where someone else has read. When we don't, we sometimes get yelled at or ear thumped.......ouch!

WE NEVER SHOUT HERE......

notice she didn't mention ear thumping thou.
Spoiler stars are great, unless of course you are like me and can't help looking at the pretty stars

It's a good system for sure!!!
Most of us are used to this too

I agree GC sometimes it's very hard to not look at those pretty stars. Like a moth attracted to that pretty bright light!!!

Finished my reread. There are so many possibilities for Blond and Blue to break someone's heart. Probably mine! If Trina makes me cry and cry in the next book, I think she should get ear thumped! I just know Shaz is going to screw up...! I just know it!
Shaz.....sigh....what a pretty wolf boy.

Was it me that put that into your brain or did you pick up slight hints like I thought I did?

It's not just you guys. I had the samr thoughts, but did not want to read into it too much though. There are a lot of possibilities for sure. I know that Trina would like to have 8+ or more in this series, so it could make sense to have some love conflict emmerge.

*insert Kale* into the mix

Lex mentions two times in this book that as much as Arys hurt her, she couldn't stand it if Shaz did something stupid. Also, at the end, Lex has been running by herself...a lot. Where is the white wolf? I know he is in charge of security at TWK, but still, he should be around some, right? And, earlier, where is he on the nights he doesn't come by Lex's house? Why hasn't he just moved in? Why hasn't one or the other brought it up? I just think something is wrong. Shaz is perfect. Too perfect?

Ok so I am in book 1. She slept with Arys. She is sick when she is going home and when she gets home. She tells Ky and sleeps. Shaz comes over with dinner (and her fortune says that a new friend is too good to be true---who do you think???) and R calls and she runs over. They have the moon run and Lex has this horrible image of Arys killing and Shaz playfully takes her down and she attacks S. R subdues her. Then she runs off and comes home in the AM to a pissed off Ky. Ky and Lex talk some more. She is about to go to Shaz but he is at the front door. S and Lex go for a drive and her tells her he has no right to be but that he's jealous and he has feelings and knows she does too. She says it was just the power between Arys and her and he gives her cold eyes not believing it wasn't very personal. She tells him the truth that she regrets doing it and being found out by him. She cries and begs him that she didn't mess up things between them. It seemed he wasn't ready to agree because he starts saying "Alexa I can't". Her crying and ranting wins his affection. She also during this, realizes that at some point their affectionate touching they used to have between them had stopped at some point that she can remember back to. Then finally he tells her that he can't not be there because he loves her too much...Could this be early on warnings that he wasn't yet ready to forgive her for Arys but he got swept in? Was he seeing someone and was that why the touching stopped?

I meant to do a quick scanned reread of the series and I find myself not scanning but doing a full reread. I am at teh part right after Alexa killed the man and then walks into the club and the physcho stalker is trying to take her and Arys out. This reread I am not quite seeing Shaz as innocent and the way that chick just knocked on teh door so normal like and hugged her and the fact that Shaz had stopped breakfasting with Lex every day and how he said he dated her when he didn;t think Lex and he were going to ever happen....I wonder if he had dated her but them once she slept with Arys if he then made it more...but he did say to Lex that they went out once nothing happened so it wasn't important (and I don't think he's lie to her....maybe lie by omission though) and that is why he didn't mention her... spoilers but the fact that a few books later she shows up at the club and doesn't seem to know he is dating Lex exclusively...well I am wondering....he never said he was exclusive. She just seemed to expect it from him.

uap--All of the above may be right. I really think at some point Shaz has messed up or will mess up worse. Casey pregnant, maybe? Lex is not going to like the new Alpha bed hopping the way Raoul did. Whether she was involved with Shaz or not, she would so be pissed if he got a human pregnant. ?HELLO??? Look what happened the last time! OMG???! Surely not. I hope I haven't talked myself into THAT possibility. Yuck!

Oh no... But it's funny bc I was just wondering what would happen with the threesome if she were to get preggers... Can Arys even get someone knocked up. Something I noticed is that Kale never affected her powerwise like R, Shaz, Arys or few others. Couple things I wondered...could Lena be the new friend she was warned of from the fortune cookie? Could she be spelling her? Also, from the beginning Arys is trying to remind Lex that Shaz loves her and not to ruin it. I thought the 1st time that he was making sure she didn't blame him if Shaz gave up on her. Now I wonder if maybe that is what happened with his wife. Originally I thought she died tragically. Now I wonder if he was pulled away from his wife by a vampire and realized he list the love of his life and likes Lex too much to see her make the same mistake even if he has to suffer for it. At the same time, they have this power thing do he knows she will bd around him whether she wants to be or not.

Hmmm now u have me thinking...isn't the alpha the only wolf allowed to rutt in a pack? But if I remember correctly the only rutt with the alpha female, right? Well like Trina said they are half human also do who knows?

OK on reread of book 3 I am noticing that the chick that lives in the apt building with Shaz came by herself to the car OR was she driven there by Arys? Did Arys notice her hanging on Shaz? She left and had to call for a ride. I'd she working for someone? Is she doing Shaz when Lex is with Arys? How did she notice that Lex had arrived and had kissed Arys when she was doting in Shaz?

That girl completely rubbed me the wrong way. I hope Lex kicks her ass !!!!

Me, too.

wWow there were lots of typos in my earlier post! Happens when I use my phone to type. I was wondering in Shaz drove her to the club and that is why she was by herself and without a ride. But he does know that Lex, Arys, the leopard chick and Ky all go there so nothing too much could happen at the club without being reported. Still I hate that chick! (Not that he shouldn't be allowed to have someone else- I mean Lex has two men- but at least don't sneak around- just tell her). You don't think Shaz is a paid escort and that is why that older lady gave him her card saying if he needs a sugar mama? Is that part of what is unsaid between Arys and Shaz or some other secret? If so why is Arys keeping it secret for Shaz?

She may end up having a big role when it comes to Shaz and future books, but it's hard to say for me at this point.

I am so stoked to see a TML chat room!!! Makes me want to go re read all 3 books ...... Again!

You need too girl !!

Trina, Mochabookluver is the reason I found your wonderful books !!
