Out of the Dark starts where Just One Drops ends pretty seamlessly, and just things just go from bad to worse.

I have spent the last week pouring over my notes and trying decide what and how I wanted to write this review. Don’t get me wrong I loved Out of the Dark but I had so many personal thoughts running in tandem with my thoughts about this book and at one point they converged in one thought “the hits just keep coming” which gave me an epiphany of sorts, I think, I am still contemplating the phrase as it pertains to my personal stuff but for the book it was the perfect phrase. At the end of Just One Drop, the Jen was missing and the rest of the pack had just escaped a deadly magical fire which is where the beginning of Out of the Dark starts and where things progressively get worse. But the thing that I like the most about this story is that through everything the pack stays tight and are there for each other trying to cope with the ever-growing threat and nonstop nightmare. As they plot and plan on getting one of their on back where she belongs and gear up for a war against some crazy evil bitch, they manage to find small pockets of happiness to cherish. I can relate to the later as my family is still living a nightmare, where the hits keep coming but we cherish the good moments even as we miss the one we lost. I believe that fact that I can relate to that small part of the story is what drew me to reading the Grey Wolves series again and keeping me engrossed and connected, even as my excuse was to re-read the series as I discovered there were new books in the series.

There really wasn’t anything about Out of the Dark that I didn’t like except perhaps the odd sort of double standard that exists in this young adult book the older teenagers probably read. What I mean is that when it comes to the violence Quinn Loftis is very graphic but the bedroom scenes are very vague, given her target audience I find that interesting, because given my occasional moments of orneriness I get could miles out of why is it ok have the graphic violence and not the sex scenes, I mean why one and not the other and the couples in question are married. I do understand why but the stirring of the proverbial pot would’ve been very entertaining to me at one time, now not so much, I would be able to keep up like I used to. My rating for this book would have been a five-star one because there wasn’t really anything I didn’t like about this story until I counted the edits but thankfully those edits only cost this story one star.

I really enjoy this series, but the editing is killing me, so I had to knock off a star. ( )

Once again, another extraordinary book from Quinn Loftis! When you aren't holding your breath, your laughing your butt off from the "girls" one liners. Awesome characters ... the fairies rock (I LOVE THE FAIRY addition) ... just the right amount of action ... the heart break ... OMG! Uber Alpha MALES, YUM! I did have a little issue with the 2 of the girls going off without thinking their mission through... I mean if evil can find magic so only the half breeds can go but they are retrieving magical people - won't the evil see the magic once they reach their goal - but I got over it LOL! Out of the Dark is another fantastic addition to this Young Adult series! Can't wait for book 5! ( )

Quinn Loftis absolutely blew me away with this fourth installment in the Grey Wolves Series. I didn't think it could get any better, but Quinn has done it again with Out of the Dark. This book picks up where Just One Drop leaves off. Jen is missing and Decebel is desperate to find her. Decebel is coordinating moving the pack to a safe place, because his Alpha is recuperating from an attempt on his life, and a fire fueled by evil has consumed the place where they were staying. Decebel knows that the source of what is happening is very evil, and a curse threatens his new bond with Jennifer. We are introduced to witches and the Fae in this book, which is phenomenal, and we get to know more about Rachel, who is also a gypsy healer, and her mate Gavril. Of course Jacque, and Sally are right in the middle of things as they try to find Jen, and where Jacque goes, Fane goes.

Out of the Dark is filled with heart-stopping action, mystery, and drama. Quinn's writing transports you into a mythical world where you encounter werewolves, witches, and get to experience the world of the Fae. I loved getting to see the relationship develop between Jen and Decebel - I just adore this couple, and of course, when you have Jen, Jacque and Sally together, there is never a lack of side-splitting humor, which perfectly balances out the intense situations. I have loved seeing these snarky girls grow and transition in each book of the series. Their bond and their sense of humor is incredible. Oh, we mustn't forget the oh so smoking HOT werewolves, Decebel and Fane, who are completely yummy...."swoon." There are also some exciting developments in Sally's life.

I fell in love with this series when I read the first book, Prince of Wolves, and I am even more in love with it now. It just keeps getting better and better. Quinn's imagination and talent never ceases to amaze me. She keeps taking the story to new levels, adding twists and turns, keeping you on your toes and desperate to see what is happening next, while still enabling you to follow the lives characters you have grown to know and love in an personal way. I am already on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book in the series, and I am looking forward to watching Quinn Loftis continue to astound with her amazing talent. ( )
