The Half-Breed Vampire by Theresa Meyers

3 Stars
It was a good story but I felt a little lost because if there were early stories that I had not read. Just did not connect to the characters.
Raina Ravenwing is a game warden and is following a bunch of wolves that are larger than normal.She comes upon a man that the wolves are surrounding him.
Slade Donovan is a vampire and demolitions expert for the vampires security team. The wolves are following him and he can hear them and understand them. He now knows they are shifters. He wounds some and kills one when Raina tries to arrest him for killing a protected wolf.
Slade puts a glamor on her and leaves her a sleep in her car and to forget him.
The next day she is at the vampire headquarters asking for help to track a missing boy that the wolves might have taken. His boss tells him to help her.
While slade and Raina are on the mountain tracking them he has a attack of moon sickness that he alone gets. He passes out for the first time for six hours.
The wolves attack them and Raina can talk to them too. She is called the wolve whisper and thought all the old stories were just stories. She saw the last wisper get torn apart by the wolves and that was Slade's mother.
I think I would have liked it better if I had read the first two stories. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley.

As the Crow Dies by Ken Casper

5 STARS
As the Crow Dies is a murder mystery and it kept me guessing till the end. 
Jason Crow was 6'6' talls and all around athlete that was drafted into war instead of Dallas Cowboys.  In Vietnam he lost both legs, above the knees.
Jason was told he would never walk, but his dad said if he wanted it bad enough he could do it.
He was finally able to come home after he got his new legs. His best friend Zach was driving him, but when he got their there were police cars.  They told him that his dad committed suicide.
Jason believed his father was murdered and was determined to find out who did it.
Thier were a lot of good suspects who looked good for one reason or another. a lot of drama of others beeing taken out to.
I really liked Jason and hope to see him in more books in the future.  Jason was going through tough times but he did not give up on himself or on others.  Yes he wanted his legs back and the future he was supposed to have. But he was making new plans.
