Jeslina is a STAT agent in London handling an investigation that looks like it may involve supernaturals. She ends up,with help from a new team of STAT members of all different types and strengths. Jake the new leader the STAT team called in to help, he’s just trying to get his new pack to all work together. This story was well written and really fun to read. I hope we have more in this series in the near future.

An agent in London investigating paranormal activity loses her team members and has a new team come to help her. She is human and surprised to have wolf shifters on the team. She learns of their special skills and abilities to speed up the investigation. She bonds with the group although she was initially suspicious. Their ability to work together proves essential for the mission. Although Jestina is attracted to the leader, an alpha wolf, she is worried about the effects on her team.

Jes has has two run ins with werewolves that have ended in death. She is assigned to a new task force to deal with a MI5 agent that includes werewolves. Jake is an alpha ex Navy Seal. He is everything Jes is afraid of or is he? This is an offshoot of the SWAT series and can be read as a stand alone. It is full of action, intrigue and romance. There are so many interesting characters that Mrs. Tyler can add a host of follow-ups, please especially for
Caleb and Harley.

Non stop action, some mystery and our awesome werewolves :) This one seems pretty hard hitting with explosive (no pun intended) action, graphic at times, but as they (well most) are werewolves it seemed a necessity to help explain all they can keep on taking, and keep on ticking. Jake is chosen as the leader of this STAT team and works with a human Jes who is aware of supernaturals and distrusts them. Understandable. The new team has Caleb, an Omega, Harley also an Alpha female werewolf, Forest a Human and Misty who is human and a technopath! (Read the book) They are overseas searching for what they thought was one child, and prince how was an asset that has turned rouge. We meet a new supernatural, but no one is sure what kind. This was a pretty rough and ready on the go action. Softened with some humor and "THE ONE" relationship with Jess and Jake. I enjoyed this book, but I have to admit I had to take a few breaths a long the way. Thank you #Netgalley #Paige tyler # SourcebooksCasablanca for the arc! I freely volunteer my unsolicited opinions. I recommend this to all who love paranormal, suspense, urban fantasy, military.

Having followed Paige Tyler’s SWAT series from the very beginning, going into Tyler’s spinoff with the STAT series feels like a natural leap forward as the new team Alpha Jake Huang jumps into the unknown with his put-together team and a woman who just might be ’The One’ for him. With a wider range of supernatural creatures and a larger emphasis on paranormal activities driving occurrences around the world, this should have been an entertaining ride. That much was seen towards the end of Tyler’s SWAT series anyhow, as more and more creatures of the night started stalking the pages, which had gotten me excited.

But I definitely took days to finish this without having that sense of urgency of wanting to finish it. In the end, I wasn’t clear what to make of ‘Wolf Under Fire’.

Part-travelogue (there was a heck of a lot of place naming as though we needed repetitive reminders that much of story took place in the UK) and part-fast-paced-thriller-type-movie, “Wolf Under Fire” was noisy and messy: there was a whole introduction to a new team, a host of other supernatural characters with their own agendas that stayed unknown until the end.

I wasn’t able to take a stab at a clearer trajectory of where the story was heading as the team started out with a case of children-kidnapping, a few more odd dead ends and then to a seemingly unrelated case of a rocket launch for ‘climate-change’ purposes. It only became better towards the last quarter of the book when the storytelling finally settled into a framework I could understand, coupled with a momentum that I was more accustomed to when it comes to Tyler’s more straightforward SWAT-style writing.

‘Wolf Under Fire’ by the end of it, felt like a story that juggled too much, too soon, especially on the character-building front. On their own, Jake/Jes were credible team members, but I stayed rather disconnected to their instalove and rather forced chemistry, only that Tyler’s established use of trope of the werewolf’s soulmate lent them both sufficient credibility to pine for each other inexplicably even after only knowing each other for a week.

I ended this feeling a little more disappointed than usual but hey, there’s always the hope that the series could get better as it rumbles along.

Jestina is part of STAT, Special Threat Assessment Team, they look for paranormal signatures and put a stop to them. She was in London looking for a kidnapped girl, when her team is ambushed and she’s the only one to live. Her boss sends her new team out to assist. Jake is a former SEAL and now is Alpha of this new STAT team. He’s a werewolf who turned after surviving a helicopter crash. He is guardian of twin eighteen year old girls and they’ve just moved to D.C. Jes isn’t too happy about working with the werewolves but something about Jake draws her in. Jake knows she’s THE ONE, his soul mate, but can he convince her to take a chance on them?

OMG!!! Excellent story with suspense that will have you at the edge of your seat. I freaking loved this story. The characters are interesting and the story is non stop action. With a little bit of romance thrown in. Werewolves, technopath, someone who can get into electronics, and a something strange.
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

Jake is a tad bit slow on things, even when his woman lays it all out, "...I get it. And I’m okay with it. So stop talking and take me to bed. We have to leave for the mission soon, and I don’t want to waste the rest of the time talking.” Jake stared at her like what she said had completely blown him away." I liked this book, I liked Jake.

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of WOLF UNDER FIRE (Book 1 of the STAT supernatural romantic action series) by Paige Tyler in exchange for an honest review. After the government unofficially confirmed the existence of supernatural creatures, it established an FBI taskforce comprised of Special Threat Assessment Teams (STATs) to investigate crimes with supernatural involvement. Jake Huang, former Navy SEAL and alpha werewolf, has just been appointed to head a STAT when he and his new coworkers are sent to London to investigate a kidnapping suspected to involve an unknown supernatural threat. Current STAT and former CIA agent Jestina Ridley was already investigating the kidnapping when her other teammates were mauled and killed by a quick-moving shadowy figure with glowing gold eyes. The FBI permanently reassigns Jes to Jake’s team, but Jes doesn’t trust her new team because all of Jes’s prior interactions with supernaturals have resulted the slaughter of friends and trusted coworkers. Despite Jes’s aloof attitude, both she and Jake are drawn together. Will Jes’s prejudice prevent her from becoming an integral, trusted, and effective part of the team? Will attraction prevail over preconceptions? Moreover, WTF are those things kidnapping the kids?

I liked it and thought it was a good start to the SWAT spinoff series. This new series looks like it will incorporate a broader range of supernatural creatures as well as a broader territorial scope. The book didn’t really explain how the FBI, which is not an agency authorized to conduct police or military activities on foreign soil, had the jurisdiction to operate outside of the U.S. (permission, invitation, etc.), and there was no local liaison or contact. Because it seems like the CIA, the NSA, or an international agency would have been a better fit, I hope the author includes such an explanation in future books. I recommend this book to fans of the SWAT series, to fans of Paige Tyler, and to fans of urban fantasy featuring romance and law enforcement themes.
