Summary
A mark， a Calling， and a fate I didn’t see coming。
I thought surviving the Hawthorne alpha’s wrath would put an end to my trials。
I was wrong。
I’ve been marked， branded by mystical forces， and with no clue what’s about to happen I’m going in blind。
All I know is that it will be a test of survival。 All I want is to find a way out。
But as the hours tick by and the Calling gets close， I’m forced to accept that maybe fate can’t always be thwarted。
Sometimes the things we wish for are the very things we should be running from。

Wowza！What a read！ We dive into this next book where the last one left off。 We learn more about Quinn and who she is。 This takes you on a wild ride through her self journey as you get to meet new characters and learn some more about the ones you've already met。 It ends with even more questions that make it so you can't wait for the next book to come out。 Looking forward to learning more about Quinn and her world！ Wowza！What a read！ We dive into this next book where the last one left off。 We learn more about Quinn and who she is。 This takes you on a wild ride through her self journey as you get to meet new characters and learn some more about the ones you've already met。 It ends with even more questions that make it so you can't wait for the next book to come out。 Looking forward to learning more about Quinn and her world！ 。。。more

Unique and interesting So far I'm enjoying this series。 Yes it is kind of confusing。 Different from other shifter and paranormal books， it contains creatures unique to this series。 The nature of these shifters is different from the norm which makes me interested to see where the story will go and how the relationships will develop。 I look forward to seeing what happens next for Quinn， Tate， Bruce， Jax and Emmit。 Unique and interesting So far I'm enjoying this series。 Yes it is kind of confusing。 Different from other shifter and paranormal books， it contains creatures unique to this series。 The nature of these shifters is different from the norm which makes me interested to see where the story will go and how the relationships will develop。 I look forward to seeing what happens next for Quinn， Tate， Bruce， Jax and Emmit。 。。。more

Another great story by Debbie Cassidy。 This one is book 2 of the Wolves of Hawthorn cove series。 Such a great read。 Definitely have to read book 1 first。 Loving these characters and overall storyline。 This is another series that I just can’t stop reading。 Debbie Cassidy has a way of hooking you right in the beginning and then you can’t put it down！！！ Definitely recommend。

This book is amazing！ It is action-packed， fast-paced， with adventure， betrayal， loss， violence， chemistry， attraction， multiple partners， and wonderful characters to both love and hate。 There are gut-wrenching moments， but also hope， and understanding。 This book also ends on a cliffhanger， so of course， I'm already itching for the next in the series。 I love Debbie's RH stories with her alpha males and feisty heroines。 I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review。 This book is amazing！ It is action-packed， fast-paced， with adventure， betrayal， loss， violence， chemistry， attraction， multiple partners， and wonderful characters to both love and hate。 There are gut-wrenching moments， but also hope， and understanding。 This book also ends on a cliffhanger， so of course， I'm already itching for the next in the series。 I love Debbie's RH stories with her alpha males and feisty heroines。 I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review。 。。。more

I am loving this series so far。 This is book 2 and carries on from the little cliffhanger from book 1。Quinn has been marked for the Calling， but has no idea what is is。 Tate tries to find answers in his books， but it's all too shrouded in mystery。Jax knows something， but can't tell her。 All she can find out is that some come back， but most do not。I am loving the tension between Jax and Quinn， and it's even hotting up with Tate。 The Hawthorne pack are still a huge unknown， one minute they seem to I am loving this series so far。 This is book 2 and carries on from the little cliffhanger from book 1。Quinn has been marked for the Calling， but has no idea what is is。 Tate tries to find answers in his books， but it's all too shrouded in mystery。Jax knows something， but can't tell her。 All she can find out is that some come back， but most do not。I am loving the tension between Jax and Quinn， and it's even hotting up with Tate。 The Hawthorne pack are still a huge unknown， one minute they seem to help and then the next they want nothing to do with Quinn。This book is full of action and mystery， Quinn finds out more about what she is。 Her friends are desperately trying to help her escape the town wards， but something keeps pulling her back。 She keeps getting snippets of information from a mysterious cat and I can't wait to find out more。Another cliffhanger， but I am really looking forward to book 3。 。。。more

When I tell you this book distracted me through England winning their semi final in the Euros， it’s that good！The character development of Quinn and the boys （I won’t name them yet， you need to read it find out！） is epic in this book。 Debbie shows us exactly how great a writer she is with a badass FMC who you want to succeed。 A must read！！

Quinn has been marked for the Calling and no matter what she does to stop it， she must do it。 More truths are revealed about who she is and what she can do。 Her mother might not have been a human as she had always thought。 Bryce， Jax， Emmett and Tate too are there trying to help her as much as they can while they all navigate their new feelings。 Like book 1， this book captured me from the first page。 I can't wait for the next book to come out！ I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author， but Quinn has been marked for the Calling and no matter what she does to stop it， she must do it。 More truths are revealed about who she is and what she can do。 Her mother might not have been a human as she had always thought。 Bryce， Jax， Emmett and Tate too are there trying to help her as much as they can while they all navigate their new feelings。 Like book 1， this book captured me from the first page。 I can't wait for the next book to come out！ I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author， but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review。 。。。more

I loved this second book of the series， even if it ended in another epic cliffhanger！ Quinn really starts coming into her own， separating her identity from the Smallwood pack， and taking back control of her life and her friends。 We get to see more Tate goodness， and we learn more about the Hawthorne pack and its relationship to the Calling。 Of course Quinn is once again a bad&ss， and I couldn't believe the ending。 I can't wait to see more of Jax and the others and find out more about the voice i I loved this second book of the series， even if it ended in another epic cliffhanger！ Quinn really starts coming into her own， separating her identity from the Smallwood pack， and taking back control of her life and her friends。 We get to see more Tate goodness， and we learn more about the Hawthorne pack and its relationship to the Calling。 Of course Quinn is once again a bad&ss， and I couldn't believe the ending。 I can't wait to see more of Jax and the others and find out more about the voice in Quinn's head！ 。。。more

This is the second book in the series and I’m still processing it。 I told myself I would start the book and only read a couple of chapters before bed。 Next thing I knew I was hearing chirping birds and the sun was coming up。 Work today was not fun but it was totally worth it。 The author has such incredible world building that you just lose yourself in it。 It was quite the wild ride for Quinn。 So much happens in this book。 Some questions are answered but you get a whole bunch of new questions。 Th This is the second book in the series and I’m still processing it。 I told myself I would start the book and only read a couple of chapters before bed。 Next thing I knew I was hearing chirping birds and the sun was coming up。 Work today was not fun but it was totally worth it。 The author has such incredible world building that you just lose yourself in it。 It was quite the wild ride for Quinn。 So much happens in this book。 Some questions are answered but you get a whole bunch of new questions。 This one was a little steamier with lots of chemistry。 The ending was a WTF cliffhanger and I’m waiting impatiently for the next book。 I can’t wait！ You won’t regret reading this or the series。 。。。more

This book was an epic follow up to ‘A Shifters Sin’。 The character development within this book for Quinn was brilliant and we truly got to see how badass she is， there was some heat and relationships developing in a way that was enjoyable。 This book is a solid 4。5 stars for me and I recommend reading it， there’s a Badass heroine with drool worthy males and enough action to keep you reading！ This is a must read！

A Shifter's Trial is book 2 in the Wolves of Hawthorne Cove and man does it not let up！ Quinn has now been marked for the calling and there is no escape for her。 She soon realizes that she is linked to （what we later learn is called） a guide who comes in the shape of her household brownie named Bea。 As she is desperately trying to find out what the calling is （everyone either doesn't know or can't tell） she learns what her other self is as well and it starts to make sense of the mark。 As the cal A Shifter's Trial is book 2 in the Wolves of Hawthorne Cove and man does it not let up！ Quinn has now been marked for the calling and there is no escape for her。 She soon realizes that she is linked to （what we later learn is called） a guide who comes in the shape of her household brownie named Bea。 As she is desperately trying to find out what the calling is （everyone either doesn't know or can't tell） she learns what her other self is as well and it starts to make sense of the mark。 As the calling starts she learns that she will be hunted- by what no one knows- and it's down to her and Bea to get through。 Will she make it， and what is going on with all the boys in this book！？I can always guarantee that Debbie Cassidy's books will be incredible。 The world-building really is incredible， you get sucked in from the very beginning and get lost in it。 The descriptions really make you feel like you are part of the story and you stay immersed the whole time。 The characters in this book are fantastic！ They are really well written and very believable。 I absolutely love the dynamic between Quinn and Tate。 I really hope big things for them and I will be rooting for them！ Jax， Bryce， and Emmit are touched on more and you get a few more details inside their minds， though they still are quite tight-lipped。 I absolutely love Bea， she is so loveable and adorable。 I really do imagine her in a Dobby-like role and I am a sucker for that type of "sidekick"。 This book is non-stop from the very beginning and you will not want to put it down。 There are plenty of twists and turns and OMG moments in this book that you will be left needing book 3 ASAP！ I love the way the story is going and I could not ask for more。 The banter is classic Cassidy， the heat has started to raise- and book 3 promises more I feel。 I really do recommend this book as the author always delivers and never disappoints。 Great book for PNR， RH fans of all things witchy， fae， and other supes！ 。。。more

Debbie Cassidy brings us back to Hawthorne Cove。 Quinn is trying to figure out what the Calling is。 No one is very forthcoming and before she knows it， the time has come。 The second installment of the Hawthorne Cove series does not disappoint。 Debbie’s masterful world building and characterization come to bear as readers are given a front row seat to the action！

Wow！ This book was truly amazing！ A Shifter’s Trial sucked me in from the first page and I was so absorbed in the story that I read the book in one day。 Quinn feels like she is just a pawn to the lycan pack and realizes she will never fit in there。 In this book she has been marked and has to take part in the Calling， but everyone is tight lipped about what it really is。 I was also excited because Quinn finally finds out she is part fae and what type of fae she is。This story was so captivating an Wow！ This book was truly amazing！ A Shifter’s Trial sucked me in from the first page and I was so absorbed in the story that I read the book in one day。 Quinn feels like she is just a pawn to the lycan pack and realizes she will never fit in there。 In this book she has been marked and has to take part in the Calling， but everyone is tight lipped about what it really is。 I was also excited because Quinn finally finds out she is part fae and what type of fae she is。This story was so captivating and we finally find out a bit more about the Hawthorne pack and the importance of the Calling。 If you love stories with shifters， Fae， demons， and steamy hot alphas you definitely need to check out this series because it is truly amazing！ 。。。more
