Product Description

They are called Feral Warriors - an elite band of immortals who can change shape at will. Sworn to rid the world of evil, consumed by sorcery and seduction, their wild natures are primed for release ...Every time she closes her eyes, Delaney Randall suffers another nightmare. A brutal serial killer has found his way inside the tough, take-no-prisoners FBI agent's head. Now she lives the murders through his eyes, from his deadly approach to his victims' screams - until the night he breaks into her apartment and she fears she's going to be the next to die. But the man who snatches Delaney from her home isn't the murderer. He's Tighe, a dangerous Feral Warrior who needs her and her visions to stop the rampages of a creature as inhuman as he is evil. Tighe has little use for humans, but as he and Delaney join forces to track the dark fiend, he falls for the intense beauty and becomes wild with an obsession as untamed as his heart.

Customer Reviews

great
great book, 3 in the series, band of shifters pool together to find their one. there is action, steamy erotic romance, power bungles, hunky men and good dialogue. not the same as feehan/ward but close enough.

Second in series
The cover of 'Obsession Untamed' contains a commendation from author Maggie Shayne about this series which considers it "one of the most unique, inventive shapeshifter novels." This reader thinks that's a rather disingenuous comment as I didn't find it unique or inventive in any way. It had very strong echoes of the early Black Dagger Brotherhood books, particularly with regard to the rather silly names of the heroes (Tighe, Lyon, Hawke, Vhyper) which reflect their shapeshifter animals. The Feral Warriors all live together in a compound and fight against supernatural foes whilst trying to keep knowledge of what's going on from the human population; again, very reminiscent of J R Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Where this book differed, for this reader, was the characterisation. The author made a good attempt at showing the character of heroine Delaney Randall, an FBI officer on the hunt for a strange killer who is a clone of hero Tighe. Delaney was an appealing character if rather similar to many others I have read (the work-obsessed agent who toils non-stop in her law enforcement role) and she was full of courage and not a shrinking violet, but somehow I didn't ever feel that I really knew her when reading this book. J R Ward seems to have, at least in the earlier novels, made her characters come alive to a much greater extent. Perhaps it's unfair to compare two different authors but they are working in the same genre with similar characters so the contrasts are more apparent.

The main plot of Tighe, with Delaney's help, trying to find his clone was well written. There's a sub-plot of two other Feral Warriors looking for Vhyper which might as well not have been in the book as it added nothing to it except to set up the next novel which focuses on Paenther (yes, another silly name). What worked better was Tighe overcoming his distaste towards humans as he connects with Delaney. Overall, however, I found this book lacking in depth and just too similar to other stories to work entirely on its own.
