Wen by Laurann Dohner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Gerri’s VampLycan stepfather died, her mother moved them far from his clan. As a teen, it was the most devastating day of her life, because it took Gerri away from Wen, the boy she’d loved since childhood. Fifteen years later, that boy has become a gorgeous man straight out of her wildest fantasies—and when he requests to meet her, Gerri suspects just seeing him will set her up for heartbreak all over again. 

The petite blonde he fell for as a young VampLycan is still beautiful—and all human. Though Gerri’s always been the one he longs to be with, Wen can’t mate her. After the death of his brother, Wen was forced to assume the duties of firstborn, which include mating another VampLycan. But he needs a human to pull off his current mission for his clan, hunting a rogue Vampire in a human city. And he’ll take any stolen moments with Gerri he can get. 

As the danger surrounding the mission mounts, so does their passion, until it’s equally perilous. It will take everything in him to keep Wen from claiming his mate…because doing so could mean her death.

The heroine: Gerri – she is a human, but she grew up in a clan of VampLycans. After her stepfather died, she had to move away. As a kid, she worshiped a VampLycan named Wen and was sorry to have to leave him behind when she moved. Her mother didn’t like being human and got together with a group of Lycans, and Gerri didn’t like their lifestyle so she now lives alone.

The Hero: Wen – he is an enforcer for a VampLycan clan and is being sent into some cities in the lower 48 states on an undercover mission to infiltrate a Vampire master’s den who wants to start a war between Vampires and VampLycans. It is a dangerous mission and he might be taken hostage and tortured but is sure that he will be able to do what he set out to do and get information on the Vampire master.

The Story: Wen contacted Gerri and asked to meet her in Reno, Nevada where she lives. She didn’t want to since it hurt to see him. He tells her he is tracking a ghoul maker. A master vampire who makes soldier vampires who heal faster than regular vampires and their bodies and minds rot because they can’t eat enough blood to keep up. The master is also spreading lies about VampLycans to other Vampires to start a war.

Wen needs Gerri to help him. He is going to give the Vampires the impression that he is leaving his clan and going against them by mating a human. This is in hopes of going undercover so he can kill the Vampire master. He has to convince the Vampires that they are lovers. I have always love the fake relationship trope, and this was a fun twist on that.

I like this series, because the heroine’s are all strong and fierce. They aren’t whiner’s or easily scared. Gerri was feisty and capable from the start. She knows about the paranormal and yet she lived alone in a city and is able to protect herself. She even killed a rogue Vampire that came after her.

This book is told in multiple points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Savannah Richards. This is book number six for me in five days. I am loving the stories and the narration is great, despite the fact that I usually don’t like solo narration. I picked up a bunch more of Laurann Dohner audiobooks since I have been liking this series so much.
