THE THING ABOUT WERES
A Mystwalker Novel from Leigh Evans
In the never-ending saga that is my love-hate relationship with Robson Trowbridge, I, half-Were Hedi Peacock, have had a change of heart. Ever since I shoved Trowbridge through the Gates of Merenwyn, I've been the leader of the pack—hard to believe, right? The thing is: I'm half-Fae. So even though my Were side is ready to heed the call of the wild, the other part of me is desperate to take flight. And much as it pains me to admit it, life without Trowbridge is really starting to were me down…
To make matters worse, the wolves of Creemore want my blood—and the North American Council of Weres wants me dead. So I'm just counting the days until Trowbridge returns from the other realm…and comes to my brave rescue…and becomes my alpha mate. Wishful thinking? Of course it is. But given all the mess I've been through already, what's the harm in doing a little bit of daisy-plucking? Besides, Trowbridge owes me bigtime. A girl can dream.

“The Thing About Weres is the second in a dark, sensual series featuring an intriguing blend of magic, fairies and werewolves. Its romantic scenes are intense, rife with dynamic characters who are equally passionate. Set in a well-crafted world only a talented author could imagine, this tale contains an excellent mix of action and passion. In popular genre, The Thing About Werewolves is fabulously unique and is a true delight.” ―Romantic Times Book Reviews for The Trouble With Fate
“A true storyteller with a tough heroine and an original and engrossing tale. Reader beware, if you pick up a Leigh Evans book, you won't put it down until the last page.” ―Patricia Briggs, New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series, on Leigh Evans.
“Her first time at bat, Leigh Evans has hit one out of the park. THE TROUBLE WITH FATE is the perfect mix of romance and action, with characters you can't help but root for and a twist that had me squealing with surprise. Evans offers a brilliant new take on fairies, werewolves, and magic--and this book is urban fantasy and paranormal romance at its best. I am officially addicted.” ―Chloe Neill, New York Times bestselling author of the Chicagoland Vampires and Dark Elite series on The Trouble With Fate

“I loved THE TROUBLE WITH FATE. So fun and fast-paced. Leigh Evans takes everything you think you know about urban fantasy and throws it out the window, creating a world that's fresh, a heroine that's enthralling, and a world that's as complicated as it is engaging. I can't wait for the next book” ―Nicole Peeler, author of the Jane True series.
“The Mystwalker series is shaping up to be truly fantastic UF, with a great romantic backbone, wonderful secondary characters, well-thought-out back stories, and the worldbuilding? In a word: Phenomenal” ―The Demon Librarian on The Thing About Weres

One of the best UF series have ever read
By Janice (Rabidreading)
You've all seen Stars Wars, right? (The original Star Wars, not the newer ones - they don't count as far as I'm concerned.) The first movie introduced us to the world, the characters, and got us all excited and shouting "OMG, this is awesome!" from every available rooftop. Then BAM, along comes The Empire Strikes Back, where everything that can go wrong, does. It's a fantastic film, but oh man, did our heroes ever get put to the test! It was just one thing after another, right to the end.
That's a bit what THE THING ABOUT WERES is like. It's a trial by fire, especially for our spunky heroine, Hedi Peacock. Trowbridge has been gone for six months now, and as his mate, Hedi has been thrown into the Alpha role, leading a pack of werewolves who don't fully accept her and are quick to challenge her at every turn. As if that isn't enough, Hedi is without her friend and companion Merry, she's still trying to figure out the whole Mystwalker thing, she's plagued by nightmares about Trowbridge, AND her two natures (Fae and werewolf) are constantly in conflict with each other. She's doing her best to hold her head above water, but every day, it feels like she sinks a little further. And the icing on her craptastic cake? The North American Council of Weres is now involved, and they prepared to remove her...permanently.
In THE THING ABOUT WERES, Hedi is really put through the wringer - physically and emotionally - and unfortunately, she doesn't pass every test with flying colors. Her guilt, fear and insecurities trip her up A LOT - more so than in the book one, and yes, as a reader, I wrestled with that a bit. I understood it, though. The phrase "darkest before the dawn" very much applies to Hedi's storyline. She has to be down before she can be up, and this is definitely a down book for her. I spent a lot of time biting my nails and worrying my head off, because I wasn't sure she would be able to survive the extreme dangers and challenges she faced. It was just too much. But Hedi is a kickbutt character and a lot tougher than she gives herself credit for. In the end, adversity really did make her stronger. Of course, having Trowbridge back may have had something to do with that...maybe ;)
Oh, did I forget to mention that? Yes, my lovelies, TROWBRIDGE RETURNS! *fist pumps*
....and this is the point where my review devolves from a semi-intelligent analysis into fangirl gushing. I can't help it. Robson Trowbridge is my favorite alpha male werewolf of all time. That's right, OF ALL TIME. Why, you ask? Aside from the fact that he's off-the-charts sexy and I swoon every time I see his name? Well, for starters, he doesn't run around beating his chest and shouting "I AM THE MAN!" to prove his alpha-ness. Nor is he an overly sensitive pushover. He is a strong, well-balanced character who can comfortably (and believably!) alternate between toughness and gentleness. He isn't perfect, by any means, but when it's time to step up, he does. No fanfare, no need for thanks or praise - he just does it. If that doesn't make him a hero worth drooling over, I don't know what does! He is simply amazeballs and I seriously cannot sing his praises enough.
I could go on and on about how remarkable this series is and all the jaw-dropping, heart-stopping things that happened in THE THING ABOUT WERES - and believe me, there is plenty of awesomeness to choose from - but if you asked me to pick my absolute favorite thing about TTAW, it would have to be NAKED TROWBRIDGE. Perhaps that makes me shallow but c'mon, when a naked werewolf strolls repeatedly across the page and is described in such vivid and loving detail (ahem!), it makes an impression! And let me tell you, Naked Trowbridge, as seen through the eyes of Hedi, is a sight to behold. As in, stop the presses, drop everything, and ogle for DAYS.
I also am completely in love with the Hedi/Trowbridge relationship. We all have book couples we rant and rave about, characters we declare are perfect for each other, and if you're anything like me, that list of favorite couples is quite long. But every once in a while, a couple comes along and knocks the ball so far out of the park, they shoot right onto your Top 10 list, because they are JUST SO AMAZING. Hedi and Trowbridge did that for me. It isn't easy bringing together two people with such different backgrounds and personalities, but Leigh Evans pulls it off beautifully. She doesn't just tell me Hedi and Trowbridge work as a couple - she shows me, over and over again, throughout the course of the story. In book one, Hedi was the shining star, and in TTAW, it's Trowbridge. He was the rock Hedi desperately needed, and his devotion to her didn't waver for a single second. He's 100% there for her, believing in her even when she doesn't believe in herself, and he proves, repeatedly, that he is willing to fight for their future together. (Honestly, could the guy be any more swoonworthy? I am in total lust/love with him.)
Supporting character Cordelia deserves a special mention for being such a faithful friend and ally, and for just being all-around awesome. He/She rocks in every way. Sadly, the rest of the Pack did not impress me and they've got a lot of work to do to redeem themselves in my eyes. I don't expect everyone to hold hands and sing Kumbayah together, but I would like to see a healthy, functioning Pack in the future.
As you can probably tell by now, I heart the heck out of this series. It's one of the best urban fantasies I've ever had the pleasure of reading and I cannot recommend it highly or strongly enough. There are a total of 4 books planned, with book #3, The Problem With Promises, releasing in February 2014, so there's plenty of time for you to discover and fall in love with the Mystwalker books. Get to it!

Review: The Thing About Weres- B+
By Jen Twimom
3.5 stars: Liked it - recommend (B+)
Review originally posted at That's What I'm Talking About
Review copy provided by publisher
Over a half a year has passed since end of the previous book, The Trouble with Fate, when Hedi Peacock, half-were--half-fae, tossed her alpha wolf mate, Robson Trowbridge, through the portal to Merenwyn. Weres are forbidden to enter the Fae world, and now Hedi cannot reopen the portal to save him. As the alpha's mate, she attempts to take over as leader of the pack, but no one really accepts her, mostly because of her Fae ancestry and the fact that she cannot shift into a wolf.
When the shifter governing body (NAW) discovers that Robson is missing, they charge Hedi with treason, and attempt to kill her in front of her all-to-eager packmates. Luckily for Hedi, it is at that very moment the gate to Merenwyn reopens, and Trowbridge returns. While he may save Hedi from the NAW, too many things have happened and too much time has passed for life to return back to the way it was prior to Trowbridge's disappearance.
The Thing About Weres is the second book in the Mystwalker series. It is a lengthy read, both in volume of pages and the weight of the story and dialogue. Having read the first book, I feel that Weres is a better story, but both books suffer from rambling storylines. I swear, Hedi Peacock has ADD, and since the story is told from her POV -- we, the readers, get sidetracked and derailed at the most inopportune times. Weres could probably be read as a stand alone, but I'm hesitant to recommend that due to the complexity of the mythologies, characters and plotlines.
The book deals with a few major plotlines, which don't always gel seamlessly. There is the pack story that outlines Hedi's attempts to fit in, the return and reintegration of Robson Trowbridge, and the dealings with the NAW. There is the return of Hedi's long-lost twin, which addresses complex issues like bigotry and prejudices, albeit between werewolves and the Fae. The mood swings, trust issues and loyalty concerns are complex and richly emotional. Finally, the book also deals with the "Mystwalker" aspect of the Fae and Hedi's hidden talents.
So here is the thing... I did enjoy this book and Hedi is growing on me. Unlike the first book, Weres got progressively better as the story went on, especially in dealing with Hedi and the relationship between Hedi and Trowbridge. I was unhappy with the volume of torture in the first book, and while this book started to look like it was going to follow suit, I'm happy to report there is a good balance between the dark and light this time around.
But... I spent a LOT of time confused while reading The Thing About Weres. I took detailed notes, and in a number of places I wrote "I'm so lost," or something similar. The rich detail given to each scene and moment, the deluge of thoughts from Hedi... These things are good, but weighty. The details and abundance of story weighed me down and made the story cumbersome to read in several places. While I was confused often, I can start to see the pieces of the big picture slowly coming together. We got a much better idea of what it means to be a Mystwalker, and the significance of Threall, which wasn't apparent in the previous book.
As for Hedi and Trowbridge, while it started extremely rocky, we finally got some great moments between the pair. Hedi and Trowbridge together as man and woman. They had a few excellent let-your-guard down moments that were beautiful and lovely. Their time together was really good, even when they weren't making love or declaring it, because for just a while you could see two people that did love and care for one another, regardless of the situation. And, I like that Hedi is maturing. She is learning to balance issues, act instead of react, and trust those around her. These are the parts of the story that made me want to keep reading this series.
Overall, I enjoyed The Thing About Weres. It was too long and detailed at times, which caused confusion and brought the rating down just a little. However, the mythology is unique and exciting. I got frustrated with the hostility at the start, but it worked out, and I liked how it ended--so much better than first book. I am in a good place with Hedi and Trowbridge. They've gone through a LOT between the end of the first book and through this one. I am excited to see what will happen next for the pack from Creemore!

Evans delivers a fantastical read in a fabulous urban fantasy series
By Under The Covers Book Blog
Reviewed by Guest Reviewer/Leigh & posted at Under the Covers Book Blog
THE THING ABOUT WERES is the second installment in Leigh Evans' Mystwalker series, and just like the first, Evans delivers a fantastical read in a fabulous urban fantasy series.
WERES picks up six months after FATE's cliffhanger ending for which urban fantasy novels seem to be known, and we find Hedi trying to keep her head above water as she struggles to figure out how to bring her Robbie Trowbridge back from Merenwyn. Now that she is Robbie's mate, and since he is gone, being in charge of the Creemore pack has been bestowed upon her. Unfortunately, she is barely holding it together. She struggles with how to lead the pack, and basically does only what is necessary, often deferring to her right-hand pack mates, Cordelia, Biggs, and Harry, for their assistance. In addition, she rarely sleeps. When she does, she lands in dreams with Trowbridge that never end well, or she is thrown into Threall with the wizard and mad-one. Her inner were and her inner fae are in a constant tug of war, always fighting for dominance, but Hedi still hasn't figured how to control them as she wishes. On top of it all, the pack is going to be visited by the Council of the North American Weres (NAW), an organization that is likely investigating the events that took place at the end of FATE, which culminated in werewolf deaths and an Alpha who hasn't been seen since. To say that Hedi is barely hanging in there would be an understatement.
Just as a representative of the NAW appears, and the most of the pack idly stands by while Hedi is more or less offered as a sacrificial lamb, more action kicks in, leading to two grand surprises. One is related to her past, and the other is related to her present. Hedi is uncertain, though, how either will play out in her future.
As with her first novel, Evans has penned a fabulous story in this creative and extremely well written series. The world building of the fae world is sometimes complex but constantly intriguing. We learn so much about fae history, and that of the mages and the mystwalkers. At times, it can be confusing, but Evans does well with flushing out the issues, making them more understandable as the story continues to unfold. Then there is the pack. Oh, there are times I wanted Hedi to blast some of the pack members back to last week, but she stays strong and surprisingly mature about the ugly politics that surround the pack. I just love how Evans has built this fantasy world that interweaves these two very different groups of fae and werewolves. I look forward to reading about both in more detail in future books.
As a main character, Hedi is not like most heroines found in urban fantasy novels. She is not kickass. She is not badass. She is young and has been thrown into a situation she never expected. She is special in that she has both were and fae blood coursing through her veins, but having lived a life mostly in hiding, she hasn't had time to hone in on her gifts and learn how to control them with great adeptness. Still she continues to try. And it is that inner strength and will that carry her through some difficult decisions and tumultuous times. It is due to these traits, and how she is different from so many other heroines, that I really like Hedi. While I don't think she really gets whiny, she often looks upon so much with a dismal resolve, however. Can I blame her? Not one bit. I do hope, however, that she becomes more confident as the series progresses. Her character needs to grow in self-assurance, which should come with time and experience.
One of the things that I was worried about going into WERES is whether we would get to see Trowbridge at all, or rather, enough. I am happy to say that we do. He is definitely coming into his own as an Alpha, and while there were moments that I wanted to reach into the book and slap him for things he said, or didn't say, he certainly redeems himself, and I am really enjoying watching him grow as a leader and a mate. Being a sexy beast doesn't hurt either. ;)
Overall, WERES is an excellent read, and this is a series I highly recommend. Evans pens her story with amazing imagery and excellent aptitude. She has created a fantastical story of weres and fae in which I love to get lost. Hedi and Trowbridge are not similar to most heroines and heros, and for that, I commend her creativity and style because who they are works especially well for the storyline. WERES is a page-turner, and Evans keeps the surprises coming and coming, leaving the reader wanting more and more.
