Description from the publisher:
The Curse of the Alpha series:
Ainsley Connor is determined to turn her back on her shifter past.
But the wolves of Tarker's Hollow call on her to choose the next alpha, and Ainsley becomes the object of desire for every eligible wolf in the quiet college town.
Surrounded by seductive shifters, all desperate to claim her, Ainsley wants nothing more than to leave the pack behind forever. But her newfound passions will not be ignored.
Ainsley soon finds herself torn between the mysterious stranger with the dark secret, the gorgeous and loyal friend from her past, and the hunky sheriff that wants her all to himself.
And the shifters aren't even the strangest part of Tarker's Hollow.
As she struggles to come to terms with her true nature, Ainsley is thrust into the center of a steamy web of shifters, ghosts, witches and warlocks, caught up in a life-and-death struggle for control of the pack she tried to abandon.
But for Ainsley Connor, the toughest wolf she must face might just be the one inside herself.
A continuing story:
Curse of the Alpha is told in six installments, or episodes, like a TV show. Each episode contains a cliffhanger to entice the listener to tune in for the next one. If you're not a fan of the serial format, all six episodes are also available in a complete bundle!
In Episode 5:
Ainsley makes a powerful enemy. Mysteries are solved and secrets uncovered. How will the pack react when the new alpha is drawn?
In Episode 6:
Ainsley must master her true nature to bring balance to the pack. Will she be able to harness her powers in time to defend the ones she loves?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the third book in the Tarker’s Hollow series.  They do need to be read in the order of release, as this is a continuing serial.

I think my exact words at the end of the book were, “What, no!  Now I need the next book, STAT!!” (And I’m not even in the medical field, so stat is not a common term for me.)  This is the end of book 1, released in six parts / three audio files, but it is definitely not the end of the series and there is no doubt of that.

Now, what did I think of episodes five and six?  They were jaw dropping!  Do not think for one minute that you will have anything all figured out.  Okay, maybe a few things, it is a werewolf romance after all. 

I finally love Ainsley and I love how this has worked out so far.  I am jumping up and down to grab the next book – also released in six parts/ three audios (so there will be three reviews).  As long as Tasha Black keeps writing them, I’ll keep reading/listening to them.

Narration:  Addison Spear is a wonderful narrator.  There were two places in the production where a sentence was repeated, but other than that, I found no blatant technical errors.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
