The Volkov name is one I longed for. Their household is one I grew up in, but not as an equal—as a maid’s son. This didn’t stop me from becoming a man to be reckoned with.

The Volkov name is one I longed for. Their household is one I grew up in, but not as an equal—as a maid’s son. This didn’t stop me from becoming a man to be reckoned with. But even with my rightful name finally…

When Mercy Helsing is convicted and sent to an Immortal prison deep in the Arctic Circle, she doesn't expect to survive longer than a day. Thrown into the depths of the icy fortress, she's forced to fight for her life again and again in terrifying trials. But Dødstårn is nothing like she expected, and she soon finds unlikely friends amongst the fierce convicts. And the man she entered the prison with has her back in every test she faces. But when girls start being murdered in the prison, Mercy has to work fast to figure out who her enemies are. Before the killer turns their attention to her...

Note: I received this book from the author and I voluntarily give this review, it is my honest opinion.

Hunter Trials is the seventh book in the V Games series and the first in a trilogy that has the story told from Mercy Helsings' pov. The last we seen Mercy, she was taken by the Watchers, who are a sort of supernatural police, to be sentenced for her crimes against her (horrible) family. Mercy and Colt are sentenced to Dødstårn, which is a prison for supernaturals.

This book was really good, I loved every minute of it. The book totally kept my attention because this book was not what I thought it would be, it was amazingly unexpected. For some reason it has a totally different feel from the other books, I don't know if it's because it's set in a supernatural prison or if it's the shit-ton of new people that we get to know or the fact that we get the pov of Mercy but Colt, Rockley Jones son as well as a few others. Either way the feel does remind me of V Games but like a brand new spin on it and I loved it.

Mercy is a really interesting character when I first met her in V Games, Mercy seemed spoiled and a little entitled. Then as the series go on I got to see what her life was really like and how abusive her family was to her and how she grew up. All those things started to change my feelings of "ugh can't stand her" to "I feel so sorry for her". Also during those book Mercy started to see herself and her world differently, she started to realize how truly horrifying things were, she was in the beginning stages of change. Now in Hunter Trials Mercy has become a new person, she consciously evaluate her actions and she truly starts to become a better person and I actually like her now. She has a lot of struggles in this book that she is over coming, she becoming stronger and she is a smartass and all of that in a character appeals to me.

Then there is Colt, Rockley Jones son. I can't stand Rockley and therefore I had little hopes for Colt. Even in the previous books when Colt seem to be riding the line between right and wrong it wasn't until almost the very end of Severed Fates that I started to feel maybe her wasn't like his father Rockley, who would scare the Devil. Now in Hunter Trials I see things from Colt's pov and I learn of his past which explains somethings but this man is still a mystery and I will have to wait to see how I really feel about him. One thing for sure I like is for some unknown reason he helps Mercy so he is at least starting with one point on the good side.

Hawke is the leader of the Nox clan in Dødstårn and he has quite a role in the story. I will admit that I like Hawke from the very beginning, he seem like a good guy, well as good as you can be in a prison. Hawke is strong, fair, nice and seemed to care about his people. He and Mercy have a complicated relationship and I did like them together but after some events that happened towards the end I am on the fence about him. I did enjoy his character and I am hoping I get to read from his pov in the next book.

The trials were interesting they reminded me of the games played in the previous books but what really held my attention was the mystery. I mean people are being murdered and I know what your thinking that it's a prison people die but this is different. Dødstårn has order and people die during contest not just being flat-out murdered. I loved that new aspect of the book, taking in the clues and figuring out what would happen next. Caroline did a really good job with the storyline, making Mercy's book feel like a new series but also still making it apart of the V Games series as a whole.

The Hunter Trials was really good and had everything you would expect from a V Games novel, there was trials, danger, a little romance, mystery and really good plot twists. With multiple povs, the books connecting at certain points, seeing new faces and hearing from old ones, Hunter Trials was a fun read. The ending landed on a sort of cliffhanger and I really excited to see how this all turns out, I do have a theory about something and I can't wait to see if I am right. I am ready for Into the Dark, are you?

Note: I was given this book by the author and I voluntary give this review.

Wolf Games was  blast to read, with all the action, mystery, feelings and supernaturals that was in V Games and I'm hungry for more.

I first met them in the V Games trilogy and now the story of Cass and Jameson continues in Wolf Games, the next group of books in the story centers around the events after Selena and Varrick got their happily ever after.

Cass and Jameson are on the island that houses Sanctuary (a safe haven for supernaturals) but all is not well. Cass is troubled with being a vampire and wants the cure plus she is troubled over her undeniable feelings for the most lovable werewolf. All the while Jameson is still haunted over the things he was made to do that is still fresh in his mind. As Jameson heads off with a once-friend-now-turned-enemy in order to rescue the remainder of his pack from a vicious wolf-hunter, Sanctuary is attacked and Cass finds herself in a similar situation as V Games, which means a whole lot of trouble.

I was hooked on the V Games trilogy and when I found out that my favorite character, the werewolf Jameson, from the series was getting his own trilogy I knew I had to jump all over it. Caroline has proved herself an excellent writer with a mind for amazing plots in V Games and it continued in Wolf Games. There was so much excitement and action as new superntaurals were introduced, another sinister plot came about and an evil I really didn't see come raised it's ugly. With the characters being so familiar but the storyline new it gave the feeling of new and revisited all at once. I loved that I already knew some of the characters and that a character was only previously mentioned is now front and centered.

In Wolf Games Caroline has extended  the previous world by introducing new characters and new situations. While this time the situation doesn't seem as dangerous but that doesn't meant that it isn't just as deadly. Cass is faced with a impossible situation with really no hope of escape but then the question is does she really want to. Cass is such a strong but flawed character she has done so much bad in the past and she doesn't think she is redeemable but she has also grown and become a different person than she was. However some of her weaker traits are revealed and it does make her seem more human but it also has me questioning a lot of her choices. I do understand how they could come about but I still don't like them.

Jameson is back and I love it. Jameson has managed to become one of the characters that I love the most. He is loyal to fault, brave, foolish, caring, kind, has a carefree attitude, is open and so incredibly funny. Jameson is so positive and tries to make the best out of all situations but it his sense of humor that I love, the jokes that he has, I love it. However Jameson whole sense of self changes, the womanizer finds a women who he wants to give himself to, he realize that not all situations can be turned positive and that the one person he trusted is a person will betray him so deeply that it's heartbreaking.

Wolf Games was face paced and action packed with characters that I know and love and a plot that kept me enraptured. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen and I was quite surprised to see where the story lead. Wolf Games had a cliffhanger of an ending and I am super excited to see what happens next. One thing for sure I want revenge on a certain character and I need justice to happen.
