Love These black rock guardians! This was not disappointing! Loved Zane and Annika’s story, if you like a yummy we’re story every once in awhile these are for you! Hot werewolf’s and damsel’s in distress or are they?

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my

Really loved the story and character connections. This is book 2 in the series with the 3rd to release in March 2024. I will absolutely be reading the next book! I enjoy a good shifter romance and this book did not disappoint.

Zane and Annika are wolf shifters, and the coyote pack is after her for killing one of their pack. I did like this one overall, but must admit I did skim a bit at times, especially with the politics of war discussions. Reminded me to much of the news I guess. Still though, would recommend.

I’m really enjoying this world and definitely recommend starting at book 1 if you are considering starting here. The setup in the first book is what made this book so much “easier” to settle into. If you are set on plowing through, there’s probably enough to catch up, but it won’t be as rewarding a payoff.

Annika is the sister with some baggage from the previous book in the worst way. She was forced to kill a man to defend her family and now she’s got to live with that. She’s also got to live with a “babysitter” from the pack who is not exactly the best counter worker at their bakery. It also doesn’t help that they are dancing around each other, pretending that the attraction doesn’t exist. Thing shift into high gear when Courtney reappears and ups the threat level. The pack does what they do and locks the sisters down in the complex, but the threats just keep coming.

Being the kind hearted person that she is, Annika can’t just sit there while folks get injured protecting her. Zane, in ultra-protect mode, is along for the ride here. It was really fun to watch Annika smooth Zane’s rough edges and ultimately made them both better for it. We get our HEA here, but beware - there is a definite cliffhanger. This book honestly could have ended at the HEA and I’d be happy but we resolve most if not all the book loose ends, aside from the cliffhanger stuff. Fair warning if that upsets you, you might want to wait to dig in here until the next one is in your hands.

I really enjoyed Havoc Under the Hunter's Moon by Susanna Strom. Susanna's World Fallen series is one of my absolute favorites, so I was incredibly excited when I found out she came out with a shifter series.

Havoc Under The Hunter's Moon is the second book in the Black Rock Guardians series, It's filled with an interesting cast of characters, action packed, and steamy. I will definitely be continuing with this series.

Read if you like:
- grumpy/sunshine
- fated mates
- action & suspense

After Annika took out a coyote shifter to save her sister, she's been under the wolf shifter pack's protection. She's been drawn to Zane, a pack sentry since they met, but he keeps pushing her away. When the coyotes threaten war against the pack, Annika knows she must turn herself over to them to save lives...only her growly protector won't let her.
Zane knows Annika is his mate, but he's struggling to keep control of his wolf and the last thing he wants is to hurt her. The only way to protect her is to keep his distance.
Although I liked the first book better, I was curious to continue Zane's story and find out why he was so standoffish. This series is full of action and plot twists And there's also lots of spice as Annika teases and tempts him. I enjoyed reading more about some of my favorite characters in the first book and also adding plenty of new allies to the pack.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Zane is a protective wolf who would do anything for his pack. Reluctantly, he protects Annika from the danger that is all around her. Even herself. Even though he knows she is his mate, he refuses any and all closeness between them. He struggles daily to control the rising tension between the two of them and his wolf. Annika is desperate to know if Zane feels the same for her. She may seem meek, but she does not hesitate to go after what she wants. And she wants him. When the Coyote Pack threatens all her loved ones, she does something impulsive and foolish. Action pact, sweet, sexy and unforgettable, this new world has many more stories to tell and I cannot wait to hear them.

In the midst of a brewing supernatural conflict, bakery owner Annika Hagen yearns for a peaceful life. Her world, however, spirals into chaos when her actions make her a target for vengeful coyote shifters. To keep her family safe, she contemplates sacrificing herself to the enemy. But she hadn't counted on the determination of Zane, her gruff yet irresistible wolf shifter bodyguard, who refuses to let her face this peril alone. As the threat looms and their attraction intensifies, Annika and Zane must navigate the treacherous waters of their hearts while facing a dangerous reality neither expected.

“Havoc Under the Hunter’s Moon” by Susanna Strom is a good shifter romance that keeps you wanting the main characters to get there happily ever after. I really enjoyed reading the book even though the story wasn’t super unique. I enjoyed the book and gave it a 4 out of 5 stars.

He adventures of the Back Rock Guardian pack continue with a healthy serving of action, suspense, revenge, and of course fated mates to round out the fun. The coyotes are still being bad, and the bakery is still going strong. Great second installment, can't wait for more!

Havoc Under the Hunter’s Moon is the second book in the Black Rock Guardians series by Susanna Strom. This can easily be enjoyed as part of the series or as a standalone.

could not put this book down! It grabbed me on page one and did not let go until I reached the last page (when I sadly stopped reading because there was no more pages). Even after I finished the book, I was not ready to return to reality because the world the author created was so fascinating and I needed more.

I thought the story was incredible and the characters were amazing! I want to go back! I will definitely be reading this one again before book 3 is released! I highly recommend reading this book if you are looking for an escape and a wonderful romance! I'm so ready for the next book and I just finished this one!!! I did not want it to end!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I’m Loving This Series!

An engaging, action packed, steamy paranormal romance with wonderful characters you can fall in love with.
Annika had wanted Zane from the moment she met him but for some reason he never seemed to take it any further until the day she looked into his eyes and saw that his Wolf wanted her!

Zane was grumpy and too serious and he would not give in to his passion for Annika even though his Wolf claimed she was his. He had issues and needed to protect her but things were heating up between them and danger was just around the corner. Could he come to terms with his problems and claim her to get their HEA?

A page-turning read you won’t want to put down until the end and even then you’ll not be able to wait for the next in the series.

Highly Recommended Read!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is the first novel that I read in the series and I really liked it. I love the point of you from both the hero and the heroine, and I think it has a really good concept. The characters are likable, the story is easy to follow and you really route for the Wolfpack, I would highly recommend this to all those that love paranormal romances

I am loving this paranormal romance series! It was really cool to see the shifter world expand. Plus, we get a super protective grump covering up his secret sweet side in Zane and the perfect combination of sugar and spice in Annika. I had a blast reading this!

Thank you to NetGalley and Cougar Creek Publishing for access to this arc.

The his second book in the Black Rock Guardian series is just as amazing as the first. I’m so invested in these characters I just can’t get enough.

Zane Hunter is a grumpy but protective wolf sent to watch over the cousin of the alpha’s mate.

A dominance challenge from a lapdog. Wasn’t that just the icing on the shi!! cake of my day?

Annika is a sweet sensitive woman who wants to take care of everyone.

Annika knew how to find joy in the simplest moment. I wanted to share that joy with her.

This opposites attract love story is just what the Dr ordered. So curl up under your favorite blanket and enjoy.

“Dude, your how-to-sweet-talk-a-lady game needs serious work.”

Another great Paranormal Romance, that kept me hooked till the very end. I really enjoyed this book, the romance was hot and very well written, can't wait to read more by this author.

Holy hoy shifters - Havoc Under the Hunter’s Moon was a fun read.

I love anything fantasy based and shifters is definitely right up my alley.

Zane - a shifter wolf - is trying to resist his wolfs call for Annika who has shifter blood.

She gets caught up in a shifter war after killing a rival coyote pack member in the previous book.

The pair run cross country to evade the coyotes and finally solidify their bond - but will it be too late?

Well written and engaging and I liked the variety of characters and shifter breeds - I think a shifter moose was a first for me.

There’s definitely lots of avenues this story can continue down and I can’t wait to read what happens next.

Havoc Under the Hunter’s Moon was an absorbing and amazing read! I simply couldn’t put it down and read it in a single sitting.
