As always Ms. Wright writes a great book on Shifters. I just wanted this book to be more out of the box. I love the characters but I just want this series to introduce something new or take a very different turn. I hope that turn will be with Cain's book. But this book was sexy and very funny. Love this series and hope there will be more.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley and Montlake Romance. I’m a huge fan of this author and this series but I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book as Bracken was not a favorite of mine but boy was I in for a surprise. Not only did I love him but Madisyn was amazing! No weak willed women here which is great. Their chemistry started at a low simmer but the heat was truly scorching. They also complimented themselves well with a balance of strength and sensitivity. Also you’ll see a lot of familiar faces. Definitely a must read. 5 stars

I'm a little torn on how exactly to review this...I don't want to be so heavy on the gush that I give people unreasonably high expectations, leading them to subsequently not love this as much as I did...

But alas, at the end of the day, I can only be true to my own feels.


AKA, yas, Suzanne Wright!

I've said it before, I'll say it again...

But I am 100% biased when it comes to this author.

But, what can I say?

I love her stories, her writing style, her characters.
Everything.
ALL the things.

I have literally read everything Wright has written and this series and the series from which it was spun (The Phoenix Pack series) are some of my favorite PNR series of all time.

Her <i>Dark in You</i> series is probably legit my favorite PNR series...

...ever.

That said, in the author notes at the end if this book, Wright mentions that she wrote this at the same time as <i>Embers</i> (the most recent <i>Dark in You</i> release) and it showed.

In the best way possible.

The whole time I was reading it, I couldn't help but think that Bracken was...edgier...darker...more intense somehow than previous male leads of the series. When I saw that she had written this hand in hand with <i>Embers</i>, it totally made sense...it was like Bracken had a little bit of Knox in him.

Which - being that Knox is my number one book husband - was scrumptious.

This book followed the Wright pack book formula to a certain extent...but it also didn't.

Which was awesome.

The way Bracken and Madisyn come together is completely different than any previous book...the way their "mating" comes about is completely different...

All in great ways.

Also notable, this book apparently takes place a little bit longer after the previous books than other past installments. Some stuff has happened between this book and the last that greatly affected Bracken and the landscape of the series in some way.

All of which, again, was great.

Fans of the series will love this book and I can't wait for you all to get your hands on it so we can gush together.

Or so you can throw proverbial tomatoes at me for leading you astray.

But whatver. This book rocked.

And I'm already reading it again.

And, how about that cover? *drool*

I have been waiting for this book ever since I read Wild Hunger,every other week I would just keep checking the release date (this is how much I love this series).
We were all introduced to Bracken's tragic story in Wild Hunger and ever since then I wanted to know who his mate would be and Suzanne Wright didn't disappoint---Madisyn is perfect for him (didn't see that coming at all).
Independent and Strong ,and they are definitely stronger together.Their relationship dynamics is what Bracken needed at this point in his life. Thats all I will mention at this moment , I dont want to spoil the story for anyone so enjoy reading ( and trust me you are going to enjoy it) and Suzanne Wright please keep writing awesome stories(never stop :P )

Full review to be published online in late December.

ECHOES OF FIRE is another enjoyable story in Suzanne Wright's popular "Mercury Pack" series,
which is a sister series and runs along the same timeline as her equally good "Phoenix Pack" series. In ECHOES IF FIRE, Madisyn has a secret. She suffers from touch hunger, and Bracken stumbles on her secret when he takes her home one night after an "altercation". While both have been attracted to each other they also have been annoyed and resistant to each other. However after the death of his family Backen finds her his one source of normal. When they discover they are mates, Bracken while shocked is determined to get his cat.

While Madisyn is true to her nature and reserved Bracken works to win her and prove the nay-sayers wrong. Their path is different and I liked that.

ECHOES IF FIRE is a fun read, if a little too similar in formula to the other books in the two series. Wright's fans, however, will love it.

I absolutely loved everything about this book.Suzanne wright always delivers on every aspect of her stories .The romance Suspense even humor.Bracken and Madisyn were no different They both have strong personalities and are beyond guarded So they both have to work hard to overcome that in order for their mating bond to complete.I highly recommend Echoes of Fire it has a little bit of everything and if you've read the others in the series We get to catch up with the Phoenix and Mercury pack.

“Look at me, Madisyn . Take a good long look. I’m a f*ck*ng wreck. Barelyfunctioning. How do you think I’ll handle having a mate? I’ll tell you.” He leaned forward, pressing his body against hers. “I’ll want everything from you . Actually, that’s a lie. I’ll demand it. Take it. Possess you. Own you. Be more overprotective than you can tolerate, because I’ll be totally f*cking paranoid that you’ll be taken from me."
Bracken.

4.5 Stars!

This book is the continuation of the Mercury Pack series with close ties and lots of cameo from the Phoenix Pack.. I like to read the books in order but you could pick this up as a random PNR and do ok. As part of the series, it made me so happy to see Bracken begin to heal.

I loved that Bracken and Madisyn were both a bit quirky in human and animal form. I loved that they really needed to both break down the protective walls they had constructed. These two grew and changed together and we don't often see that in the romance genre.

Loved seeing all of the pack again. Enjoyed the bit of suspense in this one. And it was really great to learn more about other shifters in this world.

Great addition to the series!

Another great addition to the Mercury Pack series, I loved this book. Bracken is feeling broken and guilty after the deaths of his family, survivors guilt is eating at him. Madisyn is a loner who struggles to let anyone in. It sounds like. Disastrous match but they compliment each other so well. Packed full of all the over possessive, protective, jealous alphaness I love, it was one of my favourite books of all the Phoenix and Mercury Pack books so far. I want more!

I did a series reread first because I just love this characters! Madisyn and Bracken are great together....I enjoyed their unconventional start, they didn’t click right away that they were mates and everything they are thrown as got them to now. There is lots of laughs as we are accustomed to with this series, action and sexy times. If you haven’t read any of this series I’d say go back to the Phoenix pack and work your way here first, you won’t be disappointed.
This was a complimentary advanced reader copy provided by the author/ publisher in exchange for a honest review via Netgalley.

It has been a while since I read a Mercury Pack book so it took a little while for me to get into this one, but once I did these character grabbed me. Madisyn is not warm and fuzzy despite what her shifter self looks like but she is a character that I think everyone can understand. She is what Bracken needs though...

Bracken is broken... but it takes him a while to realise the extent and Madisyn seems to be the only one who makes him feel even just a little bit better. He is the Pack Enforcer so a mate that really doesn't like being wrapped in cotton wool is a bit of a struggle, but at least he is a quick learner!

This was a good entry in the series, and in the wider Phoenix Pack world, and it made me want to read the next one

Echoes of Fire is another brilliant book in the Mercury Pack series, every review I write that these stories just get better and better, this one has done it again.
Here we have Bracken and Madisyn ( sorry hated this spelling) Bracken was broken by the murders of his family and has exacted terrible cold blooded revenge on all those responsible, Madisyn is a loner who puts up with no crap off anyone, no one quite knows what breeds of feline shifter she is, which causes panic and shock if anyone gets on her wrong side.

These two know each other but have never really interacted, one night when something goes down in the bar where Madisyn works Bracken comes to her aid, on touching they are both shocked to discover they are mates.
The relationship develops but not without its difficulties, you’ll be cheering them on wanting them to find peace and happiness.

Madisyn life is threatened so Bracken, the Mercury pack and Phoenix pack band together to help her.

This is such a well constructed story, although extremely violent at times but very necessary to this plot line.

A great emotional rollercoaster, keep them coming I can’t wait for the Next!
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Another absolutely stunning story by author Suzanne Wright, once again I couldn’t put it down for the sheer fact it always gets better and better with every page. Each story is highly unique but an HEA is always guaranteed. The story follows main characters madisyn and bracken as they deal with the shock of their mate bond and the difficulties of a rival pack. The relationship was built on steamy chemistry and the development of the story kept me following with interest. I will say my one tip is that most of the females in this series are very similar in a “algorithm” type way. I 100% support all strong and independent females, but when every single one these past couple of books play on the “I don’t give a shit about anyone” attitude, I must ask for a little something different. Otherwise, i always anticipate her releases and can’t wait for more in the coming year!

Hello Bracken, well should I say the new dark, intense and reserved Bracken!!

I absolutely loved how this book played out. I actually always thought Dominic and Madisyn would end up together, so thank you Ms Wright for a great curve ball, because now I cant imagine Madisyn with anyone but Bracken.

Madisyn has a secret, she suffers from touch hunger, and Bracken stumbles on her secret when he takes her home one night after an "altercation". While both have been attracted to each other they also have been annoyed and resistant to each other. However after the death of his family Backen finds her his one source of normal. When they discover they are mates, Bracken while shocked is determined to get his cat.

While Madisyn is true to her nature and reserved Bracken works to win her and prove the nay-sayers wrong. Their path is different and I liked that.

The baddies are bad in this story and while The battles are in the story the plot really showcased this couple and their emotional journey. Ms. Wright is an amazing storyteller, and she always captivates me. I always look forward to her stories and I cant wait to see where she takes us next!

Thank you netgalley for this amazing book. I love Ms. Wright books and this one was no exception. Echoes of fire is one more fabulous addition in her work. Bracken was a lot different in this book than I remembered in the privious series, when his character was first introduced. Gone the flirty and playful inforcer, this Bracken was serious, hard and distrustful of himself in protecting others. What happened with his family was really tragic and my heart broke for his misery. He was punishing himself for something which wasn't his fault. And I really liked that he has Madisyn for his mate. She was a really strong character and she didn't handled him with kid gloves. Never made him feel broken or that he needed fixing. And what can I say about Pallas cat, they are just awesome. I fell in love with them. That was really touching scene where Bracken realised that for the first time he wasn't hating himself for surviving that attack. I loved this book and surely recommend it. Can't wait for Dominic's book.

I simply cannot even try to be objective or unbiased here as I just love this authors writing so much. She rocks!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This is the 4th book in the Mercury Pack series by the extremely talented Suzanne Wright and as always I am in total book-heaven while reading these amazing, romantic and sexy "wolf-shifter" stories.
Thank you, Montlake Romance for this ARC.

Full review to follow shortly and yes I will probably continue to gush and babble some more. 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

What an amazing story! I must say that Bracken story was heart-wrenching, it's no wonder he was so closed off from any type of feelings. Of course, that is why he needs a heard strong, dominant, alpha female! There is no way any other female would have put up with him. Madisyn is just the right female for him. It was great to see how her cat slowly let him in but was still moody with him and did not hesitate to rip into him.. I love how all the stories line up, and how Suzanne keeps the Phoenix pack characters integrated with the Mercury pack series. I devoured this book in 1 day (and that is having to work) I can't wait for more from the Mercury pack series, these are near and dear to my heart.
