 Megan Erickson is capturing the reader's attention with a shifter series, a debut for her. Shifter stories can be good or they can be an old hat. Megan's shifter series Silver Tip Pack is the first and such a blast! You are right from the start into the story, you are hooked and mesmerized by Reese and Dare. :3 
 You get the insight of the world right from the start; Reese introduces himself and his species with direct words. If you really try actually to visualize this you see how really intriguing but also scary it is how huge those Weres are, how strong and lethal. You feel connections to other shifter series where wolves appear, but this is like a fresh wind, with the typical cool and easy writing style by Megan Erickson and with unique characterization and descriptions. 
 We also get the information about the Noweres, the undead Weres and yes, you read right there: these are zombie wolves!!! Either you are NOW captured or you're out. :D I was the first. :D Because: how cool is this?! :D 
 Although Reese isn't a small guy and he is full adult he and you as a reader are impressed by Dare: 
 My inner voice screamed hallelujah; a sexy, swoon worthy main character, rippled and obviously an eye candy? This was my book, so so my book. :3 And he is a leader; and what an Alpha he is. :3 
 And the best thing was when both men were affected by fate: 
 What I really liked about Megan's style is here casual type of writing. The POV is a dual one, so it switches between Dare and Reese, always in 1st person. 
 It is a light fantasy story with all the supernatural elements (shifting, bonding etc) but it doesn't feel so. It is witty and charming, the character sometimes pain in the ass but also loveable. Not even Reese and Dare are captivating, minor character like Dare's brother Bay or the other from the Silver Pack, G - the silent, huge colloss of a man, steady in his stance and loyalty - or Vaugh, the guy with always a smirk on the face and a witty tongue. :) Or Reese's brother Jude. :) Really helpful is also the glossary at the end of the book. :3 
 Very likable were also the thrilling plot itself, the constant pressure rising, the innerpolitical issues. Not that it was boring or too much, it was a good balance between the parts. 
 The erotic scenes blew me away, hot as hell. Really hot. But also full of emotion, without being sappy. And always spiced with the natural way of writing. Fluid language, with things left out to the reader's imagination. 
 With beautiful descriptions of the landscape, vivid settings, always in comparison to the other places in the books you have an early insight of the whole world, it shows right before your eyes. It is also specified, with exact namings of the way of living. Really impressive. 
 Within the lovely characterisation and naming of the surroundings the shifted wolves are really beautiful too, with all the different kind of types. 
 I really loved the tenor in the whole book, besides the sexy action and bonding between Reese and Dare. 
 This book is really good, I actually love it. It is a great opening of a series I can't wait to read more. The characters have their own way of thinking and behaviour, it will be a delight to see more of them, to see other sides of them, but also to have reapperances of former charcters. :3 
 It is a great universe which is enrolled in this one volume, I can imagine this will be really awesome in the next books - more than it is even right now. 
 Next book is - as Megan already said - about Bay. :) 
 5 out of 5 stars
