      Well, this was a first for me, I think. I disliked the MC of this book and yet could not put the book down. Vivian is a drug-using, hard partying singer with a career that failed before it began, barely getting by singing weddings. She's a victim of a broken home with father-abondonment issues. She's a mess. Generally speaking, I prefer my heroines to have a firmer grasp on their inner strength; I don't enjoy watching, or reading, about people self-destructing, even if they do end up on the road to redemption and enlightenment. In addition to this, I didn't realise that this second-of-the-series was about a completely different set of characters, taking place 7 years previous to the first book. I was expecting a continuation of the story about Mona and Adam. So by the first few chapters I was thoroughly disappointed with the read. Yet, I couldn't stop reading it. There's a lot of action, and I really liked Jason, although the author skirts a fine line at times, when I expect him to kick at the ground and go "aww shucks". But then he starts killing people again, and it's all better. I'm not sure that says anything good about me, but never mind. The book touts itself as a "Midnight Magic Mystery" but let's be clear: there is no mystery in this book. There's a wolf-pack war brewing and a traitor in the pack's midst, but the traitor is obvious from the beginning; there's never any question or doubt. Of course it's still a mystery to the pack, which allows for the continued carnage and the ultimate battle for control to take place. Overall, if pressed, I'd call this more PNR than any kind of mystery. In sum, I'm a bit flummoxed by this book. I did not connect with the MC at all, the 'mystery' plot was transparent. There were enough editing errors for me to notice. But I could not stop reading it. It gets 1/2 star out of sheer wonder. There's a third book coming out apparently. Will I read it? Hell if I know. I think I'll still be flummoxed over this one.

      Werewolf Sings the Blues is the second book in Jennifer Harlow's Midnight Magic Mystery series but not at all what I expected after reading the first, What's a Witch to Do?“Vivian Frances Dahl, daughter to Frank and Michelle, I am here to protect you and deliver you to safety. No harm will come to you, I swear on my life, but we must leave now. Please get in the car. Now.”When a pair of US Marshall's turn up at a gig to ask singer Vivian Dahl questions about her father, she is surprised, given she hasn't seen or heard from the man in nearly thirty years, but it's not until one draws a gun and the other forcefully grips her arm and starts dragging her through the underground car park that she realizes something isn't quite right. Moments later, her captors are trading gunfire with the hot, built, blonde Adonis -with a paw?! -she suspected of stalking her and she is forced to make a quick decision. What follows is a wild cross country road trip as Vivian learns her estranged father is a the Alpha of the North American werewolf pack, her saviour, Blondie aka Jason, his second in command, and adopted son, and she is in grave danger from a rogue wolf making a bid for power.Luckily Vivian is no princess, her rebellious teen years and party hard life style as a wannabe singing star means she can hold her own when things get difficult. Vivian is not your typical heroine, self absorbed, not averse to (more than) a few drinks, a hit of cocaine or a casual shag, I didn't warm to her initially. She carries a lot of anger due to her father's desertion, her mother's disinterest, the failure of her career to launch and the breakdown of two marriages. Viv freely admits she is selfish and bitter but spending time first with Jason and then the Pack in her father's Virginian compound her attitude begins to change.I was surprised by the increase in action and violence in this story, particularly during the final scenes, when contrasted with the first book. What's a Witch to Do? had a paranormal romance/ cosy mystery feel, this is much darker in content, more like urban fantasy, though with more focus on the romance than is usual for the genre. I felt there wasn't a lot of mystery in the story either, the identity of the mole is obvious from the moment of his introduction. It does still have the snark and biting humour familiar to readers of the author's backlist though.I also found it odd that this installment takes place eight years earlier than What's a Witch To Do? Though Adam and Mona, amongst other characters from the F.R.E.A.K.S. series, make an appearance, the link between the two books in the series isn't clear and I'm wondering in which direction the author plans to take the series next.Despite the unexpected direction in which Harlow chose to take this series, and the unconventional characterisation of the protagonist, I did enjoy Werewolf Sings The Blues. It's a fast paced, action packed easy read with plenty of humour to balance the darker moments.
    • 5/5
      *I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*Werewolf Sings the Blues is a prequel of What's a Witch to Do?, one of my favorite reads in 2013. So the expectations were very high and, luckily they were completely fulfilled!The story takes place eight years before What's a Witch to Do? and tells us the story of Vivian and Jason that those who read the previous book already know how it ends, since they are both characters on that book.Vivian’s life is in a downward spiral: about to turn thirty, her singing career is going nowhere, her love life consists of one night stands with random guys and she’s getting addicting to cocaine. The last thing she needs is a stalker, even if it is a blonde, tall and muscular blue eyed stalker… But it seems that’s exactly what she gets, that is, until she’s the victim of an attempted kidnapping and is saved by her supposed stalker.Her savior is Jason Dahl, the adopted son of the father who has abandoned her and her mother when she was just a baby and he wants to convince her that he and their father are werewolves and that her life is in danger because a rival pack wants to use her to get to their father. Even though at first Vivian thinks that Jason is crazy, she has to surrender to the evidences when he is forced to do a partial transformation in order to heal faster.And that is how Vivian and Jason find themselves forced to travel together from California to Maryland and they discover they have more in common than it seemed. Obviously all that time spent together, plus the adrenaline of the run from those who want to kill/kidnapped them, can only mean one thing, right? After all, it’s not like they’re really siblings, they just share the same last name.Vivian is determined to make the best of the situation she finds herself into, which means taking full advantage of her time with Jason. But his behavior is really hard to understand. Even though he seems to be very interested in Vivian, he quickly becomes cold and distant. Of course, even though Vivian was completely in the dark, having read the previous book, it was pretty obvious to me why Jason behave the way he did in regards to Vivian…I really liked Vivian’s evolution, the way she goes from being completely self-centered and full of self-pity to being someone who risks her own life to save those that she loves. And it was so good to finally have a glimpse at Jason’s feelings, since I hadn’t exactly become a fan of his in the previous book… But now I understand better why he is so protective of Adam.OMG, Adam and Mona are secondary characters in this story and it was so good to see them again and to witness the tumultuous way he dealt with Mona’s presence, who really doesn’t have a clue… And to learn more of Adam’s past, the luggage he carries with him and that only starts to lift eight years later, following the events of What's a Witch to Do?... I didn’t think it was possible to like him more, but I was wrong!But back to the story, it’s not only Vivian who has to confront her past and learn to forgive and move past it, Jason also has to do the same. And Vivian’s father has a lot of explaining to do… And, of course, there is an eminent threat against the pack and, when the attack comes, not everyone is going to make it…Even though I liked What's a Witch to Do? better (it’s difficult to surmount the awesomeness of Adam and Mona), I really liked Werewolf Sings the Blues so far, my best read of 2014! I don’t know if the author is planning to continue the series, but I wish she did… I’ve grown fond of these characters and I would very much like to read more of this paranormal world the author has created and where I love getting lost in.
