A year ago, Noah found Erin behind a dumpster, beaten and close to death. He knew then she was his, but he kept the knowledge to himself. A year later he is assisting Erin, now an enforcer for the North American Councils of Lupine Shifters. Pregnant shifters are going missing in New Orleans, the territory of Noah’s father. NOLA is home to a myriad of paranormals – shifters, vamps and more. Erin and Noah know they need to tread carefully, but time is running out to find the missing women and discover just who is behind the abductions and why.

Ms. Reus is great at writing strong women characters. Despite some PTSD issues Erin carries from her attack, she’s confident in a fight, smart and able to hold her own. The relationship with Noah works because he understands her. His protective instincts are in high gear, but he keeps them well in check. He lets her take the lead in the field. The underlying need he has for her is always there, though and adds an extra layer to the story.

Whether it’s romantic suspense or paranormal romance, Katie Reus creates characters that are interesting and engaging, that have both strength and empathy, characters I would love to get to know better. Her stories hit the ground running and gain traction and intensity quickly. Once started they don’t stop. This book is no exception and is a wonderful addition to the series.

First I would like to thank Author Collective 20 for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the story of Erin, newest enforcer for the North American shifter Council, and Noah, member of the Armstong-Cordona pack and Erin's savior. When Erin is given her first enforcer assignment they send her with Noah as the investigation is in New Orleans, Noah's hometown and father's territory. As they work together to figure out who is kidnapping pregnant shifters they both are forced to deal with issues from the past and their growing attraction for each other.

What I Loved:
- Trauma, Erin has lived through a LOT of trauma and I just liked how she was able to actually face it including telling Noah everything
- New Orleans, I loved that the city was a bit of a haven for all supernatural beings who live in more or less harmony since it really represents the city as a whole
- Brianna, as a fae I just enjoy the perspective of another type of being throughout the story as she is not only helping but building a relationship with her own shifter, Angelo
- Noah, he is a warrior shifter that has cared for Erin from the first day they met and is willing to to just about anything she needs to feel in control except deny her feelings for him and their connection

Overall this was a great addition to an already good romantic suspense series. It has all the best elements with big city drama, new shifters, interesting mystery and a slow burn romance that I couldn't get enough of. If you are in the market for a shifter romance with unique paranormal elements, great characters, suspense and a redemption arc then I would absolutely recommend this book.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this brilliant book

watch out world theres a new enforcer in town.....

Erin Flynn was the new enforcer and she was out on her first mission with noah as back up... not that she needed any help but the company was good to have

pregnant shifters were being abducted and nobody was saying anything... until one turned up nearly more dead than alive and once she was questioned it only made it more puzzling....

why would pregnant shifters be bled..... what was so special about their blood and who was doing it....the vamps were saying and nobody knew who was behind it...

but erin was about to meet her past and it wasnt going to be good

wow what a storyline and to finally find out what had happened to erin and why.... its gripping stuff....

I really enjoyed this entry in the Moon Shifter series, it had a great overall story being told. I thought the characters were everything that I wanted and enjoyed how good they were written in this. Katie Reus has a great writing style and I was hooked from the first page.

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this one. Erin is one tough cookie! I love her character. She has been through so much yet she still has a soft, vulnerable side. Don’t tell her I said that though lol. As a new enforcer it is her job to be strong and bada$$ which she is amazing at whether in human or wolf form. And Noah, well that sexy wolf wants all of her. A powerful alpha, he and Erin have been partners at work and make a great team. But he loves her and wants her as his mate and will not stop until he has her. Even though she has feelings for him, she is holding back because she fears he will not want her if he knows everything about her. I like how their love story rides shotgun to the heinous things happening to the pregnant shifters in New Orleans and they manage to still be locked in on their jobs and finding the bad guys but are getting closer at the same time. Everything going on totally ropes you in from finding the kidnapper/killers to the anticipation of a mating between Noah and Erin. Very entertaining!

The Moon Shifter series by Katie Reus is my favorite of all her series. It was even better that Reus took the story to one of my favorite cities, New Orleans. I am a huge fan when the lead female character has her own strength. Erin doesn't need Noah but the two complement one another.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am a big fan of Romance books and I found this one to be a very enjoyable read. I will be looking for more books from this author.

Erin is on her first solo assignment as an enforcer for the council. She doesn’t believe she will find love with anyone because of her past. Noah knows Erin is his mate, but he is happy to be with her in any way she allows him. He knows she has reasons for keeping him at arm’s length. When they are sent to New Orleans to investigate a number of bad things happening in town their feelings finally lead them to act on them. Will they finally become the mated couple they are meant to be or will they remain firmly in the friend zone?
Noah has to deal with some family tension and come to terms with his own actions and their consequences. I like how the author dealt with Noah returning to the area his family controls. It explains a lot about Noah and his choices to be part of another pack. Erin has a pretty heartbreaking backstory. The author seamlessly wove Erin’s story in with the reason they are in New Orleans. I felt like Noah and Erin earned their relationship by the end. I thought the author made a good choice to introduce more information about the paranormal world. I’m looking forward to learning more in future stories.
I’m still not sure how a person as small as Erin is also the strongest and fastest individual in a fight. I had trouble picturing her being the winner when she was up against bad odds. I do like that the author was clear that as Erin gets older and gets more practice she will become very strong.
This is a paranormal romance with mystery and danger elements. It takes place primarily in New Orleans. This story includes a storyline about pregnant women being abducted for nefarious reasons. It might be upsetting to some readers. I didn’t think this installment packed the emotional punch of the prior stories which surprised me given the topics included in the story. I still thought the story was very enjoyable and well written. I will read more from this author in the future.

Vampire fans rejoice! The Moonshifter saga continues with action, suspense, vampires and werewolves, evil bad guys and swoony good guys - it doesn't get much better than this!!!!

Loved Erin’s and Noah’s story. When Erin is sent to investigate missing pregnant shifters, Noah goes with her. Little knowing that something from her past may threaten their future.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review

I have been waiting on Noah and Erin’s story. I have been cheering on their relationship since they met and this book didn’t disappoint. Erin is determined to not ever get involved with another person after her past almost destroyed her. Her first assignment in her new role is not only going to bring her horrible past to the surface, but she will finally get the chance to move on. The question is will she survive the process or will she totally let her wolf take over? Will Noah be able to finally get her to give in and live life to the fullest?

This is the fourth book in the, Moon Shifters Series. I have read all of them all thus far and have loved every story. Erin and Noah are forced together to find finding six missing pregnant female shifters. Noah’s father, alpha of the territory the city they must search in, shares the area with vamps, feline shifters, fae, and even a few demons to add to the mix. So, let the conflict begin. I really enjoy the world Katie created in this series. I do recommend you read the series from the beginning. As each book builds on the different classes of supernatural, the humans. And the conflicts they each have to deal with.

Another excellent read in this series! Action, suspense, sexy romance and great characters. I loved finally getting Erin's story. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Add in Noah and its a book you can't put down. I immediately went and bought the rest of the books in the series!

Intriguing!

Noah and Erin have a roller coaster story full of heart ache, action, drama, twist and love. I am really enjoying this series.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Erin is a wolf shifter and a new enforcer. A year ago she was half dead lying behind a garbage dumpster when she was rescued. She is sent to New Orleans, her first solo assignment, to find out why pregnant shifters are going missing.
Noah is the wolf shifter that found Erin. He is very attracted to Erin but is hiding a secret and won’t let herself fall for Noah.
Noah is sent with Erin as backup and her worst nightmare is about to come true. Can they find the ones responsible for taking the pregnant shifters before another one goes missing?
Great story. Sex. Action. Secrets. I really liked this couple. Erin has been through a lot but doesn’t constantly complain about it. She’s tough and beautiful. Noah is very protective and smoking hot.

4.5 stars

Picking up a Katie Reus book is a no brainer for me, and Avenger's Heat didn't disappoint. This fourth book in the Moon Shifter series (there are a couple of novellas too) is my favorite so far, and I think it's because I love both Erin and Noah and have been waiting a while for their story. That said, while it can read fine as a standalone, the characters—many of whom are secondary characters outside of whichever book is theirs—can be hard to keep straight. There's also frequently a subplot connected to another couple, so that's even more to remember. Here, we have fae Brianna and shifter Angelo.

Erin's tragic backstory has been teased throughout the series, so there was the potential of it being overpromised but underdelivered. For the most part, it is well handled, though I think I expected a little more there. And while I think we're supposed to see it as a roadblock to her and Noah's happiness, it never really seems like one at all.

This series is actually one that Reus published about a decade ago and is revising and rereleasing. To that end, it may lack a little of the... complexity?... found in her newer novels. But it's still good and definitely with the read.

I received an ARC of this book for free from the publisher and Netgalley. I'm writing this review voluntarily, and it reflects my honest opinion. Thanks!

Avenger's Heat is the fourth book in the re-released Moon Shifter Series by Katie Reus. This story deals with missing shifters in New Orleans. The cultural favor of this unique city shows throughout the story. Enforcer Erin Flynn arrives there along with Noah. Back in his hometown is bittersweet for Noah but he puts his personal feelings aside just to be with Erin.

The past and present collide in this book which is actually necessary before the characters can move on in their lives. The suspense is exciting and the bedroom door is thrown wide open. An enjoyable shifter read but I must admit that the suspense and mystery of the story were what I enjoyed the most. Erin and Noah’s relationship was based on lust so I would have liked to see more emotional connection along the way than just near the conclusion. This is sometimes way shifter books go. Still crime to be solved or romance to be had, there is something for everyone.

Avenger's Heat by Katie Reus.
Moon Shifter Series Book 4.
Enforcer Erin Flynn has dedicated her life to protecting shifters. But protecting her heart from Noah, the gorgeous wolf who saved her life last year, is more difficult than any mission. Especially since he’s determined to break down all her walls. And now that they’ve been assigned a job together, she’s not sure she can hide any longer.
I really enjoyed this book. I do love this author. This is book 21 that i have read of hers. I love this series. I love the cover. I do like Erin's character and Noah. Their attraction to each other. Lots of action. Loved when she was a wolf and Noahs remark about pink collar got her to change back. I am looking forward to the next book. 4*.

This was a great book. The characters were very likeable. The writing was very well done as there were no flat spots.

Fantastic Read!

Sultry, Steamy, Passionate with wonderful characters all of which creates an emotional action packed read.

What an adventure this storyline is, the moment Noah found her he became her best friend, he wanted to protect her forever and claim her as his mate. They both had demons to address but together, they could overcome them and claim the HEA just waiting for them.

I was so involved in this read! I really wanted to be there for Erin and to help her exact the revenge she deserved. Noah is one swoon-worthy hero and best friend, eyes firmly on her and no-one else.

An uplifting emotional read which will keep you engrossed in each and every page with some witty moments and an added romance to make you smile.

Highly recommended read!
