My Review:
Alpha is the fourth book in the Blood Moon, Texas Shifters, and I think it’s my favorite in the series. I loved the characters, the romance, the intrigue, and the over-arching plot.
Brody and London are interesting characters, and I love the power dynamics in their romance! Both are alphas. Brody is the alpha of the Blood Moon pack, and London is the ex-alpha of the Austin, Texas pack. They’re both so strong and determined, and they have tremendous responsibility and loyalty to their respective packs. They also have an unbelievable amount of chemistry, even though the odds are stacked against them.
London was exiled from her pack two years ago, but she’s determined to find out who framed her and clear her name. She goes to Brody for help, but it’s clear pretty quickly someone doesn’t want them to find the answers. They make a great team, and they are tireless in their efforts to find the truth while protecting each other and those they care about. Plus, their love story is fantastic! Sexy, romantic, great banter, equal partners – there’s a lot to love about these two.
The secondary characters are great too, and I enjoyed finding out how their lives have progressed amidst the chaos, danger, and disruptions that plague their world. Their relationships and growing families are a bright spot in intense and dark circumstances where assassination attempts, kidnappings, brainwashing, and more threaten shifters, vampires, and more.
And London and Brody’s dogs are the best! Love Poppy and Major!!
The world and over-arching plot are super intriguing. This is a world where shifters, vampires, and supernatural beings in general are common knowledge, though humans aren’t all comfortable about the revelation. It’s interesting to see how this affects the characters lives and changes the political and social realms. I’m curious to see what role these attacks, investigations, and councils have in the future of the characters’ and the lives of all shifters and vampires.
Like the other books in this series, Alpha is a steamy and action-packed paranormal romance. Though it’s the fourth in the series, it can be read as a standalone. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, and I’m so thankful to Kat Kinney for providing me with an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts are my own.

I’m not some princess waiting around to be rescued. I fight my own dragons, thank you very much.
