Lair of the Wolven 3: Mine by J.R. Ward
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Still not my favorite, but it has a decent ending all in all aside from Blade, though it is played off as his role being part of Lydia's fate. If anything is good in Blade's story, it is his relationship with Xhex and their story overall. For not knowing what her "journey" was supposed to be, Xhex sure lucked out as well for the better all around. Lydia as well, especially given her new role with the mountain and the changes in both Daniel's and Cathy's fates. Even Gus is fairly literally gaining a new lease on life even though he didn't have cancer to start off with. Hopefully better medical advancements can be made with Blade's scorpion, and not resulting in further experimentation of the deadly kind that lead them all to this point.

Lair of the Wolven 2: Forever
Lair of the Wolven 2: Forever by J.R. Ward
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
There is not really a new couple focus in this installment, though we get several one-sided parts to the many relationships. If one were going to be formed it would have been C.P. (Cathy) and Gus, but for many reasons neither one ever thinks the other is interested in that way and Cathy and her guard. Even Blade and his newfound emotions are behind the curve, especially since with all the ups and downs, Daniel and Lydia are still as solid as they come. Even Xhex feels for the pair and is on Lydia's side, which is something given her earlier insistence on avoiding the labs and the wolven. It seems that no answers are found though as Xhex's grid is still in danger, Daniel and Cathy are still dying, and now Gus is missing or dead. The only tie to the wolven seems to be Lydia and her wolves on the mountain, who only have a few very short scenes overall other than just a lot of people (half of whom are normal humans) knowing her secret even if they don't know the correct name for it.

Lair of the Wolven 1: Claimed
Lair of the Wolven 1: Claimed by J.R. Ward
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Yet another spin off of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, this one supposedly focuses on the wolven, another race that was not mentioned in the series prior to this series and Prison Camp. Despite knowing this would have wolven in it somewhere or at least reference to them given the name of the series, Lydia is still a surprise. If anyone, expected it to be Daniel who was more in tune with the wolves, though suppose it would make sense why Lydia has no fear when it comes to the wild wolves no matter how often Rick tells her to keep her distance. There is never any clarification with Candy or the sheriff either regarding their doppelgangers at the old school, or if it is actually them still just a lot older than most humans would expect. Major cliff hanger at the end as well where we have Xhex getting involved as Alex and whatever this new "cure" is but no additional details or information about what it is or just what unearthing all of this lab information is going to do, either for Lydia and Daniel or for Xhex with her collapsing grid. Like with Prison Camp there has not been any clear indicator dropped to tell where and when in the main series this overlaps and takes place other than we know Lassiter is in the picture.
