FBI Special Agent Duncan McGuire spends his days—and his nights—tracking real-life monsters. Most humans aren’t aware of the vampires and werewolves that walk among them. They don’t realize the danger that they face, but Duncan knows about the horror that waits in the darkness. He hunts the monsters, and he protects the innocent. Duncan just never expects to become a monster. But after a brutal werewolf attack, Duncan begins to change…and soon he will be one of the very beasts that he has hunted.
Dr. Holly Young is supposed to help Duncan during his transition. It’s her job to keep him sane so that Duncan can continue working with the FBI’s Para Unit. But as Duncan’s beast grows stronger, the passion that she and Duncan have held carefully in check pushes to the surface. The desire that is raging between them could be a very dangerous thing…because Holly isn’t exactly human, not any longer.
As the monsters circle in, determined to take out all of the agents working at the Para Unit, Holly and Duncan will have to use their own supernatural strengths in order to survive. But as they give up more of their humanity and embrace the beasts within them both, they realize that the passion between them isn’t safe, it isn’t controllable, and their dark need may just be an obsession that could destroy them both.

The Wolf Within Purgatory Book 1 edition by Cynthia Eden Paranormal Romance eBooks
I really enjoyed the first half of this book. The writing was good, the characters were interesting, and the plot has some innovative elements. But the second half of the book just seemed a little forced. It felt like crazy twists and turns were thrown in just to ramp up the tension, and the author played the good guy/bad guy trick with every character. One minute you thought the character was a good guy, then you realized he was a bad guy, then the plot twisted again and he was a good guy (or was it a bad guy). This can be a good tension building ploy when used sparingly, but it seems like every character (both major and minor) went through the good guy/bad guy flip-flops. I also found the ploy of “killing” a character and then miraculously bringing him back to life was used way too many times. Towards the end I was surprised when a character died and actually stayed dead.So an easy, okay read, but for me it got too convoluted and contrived toward the end.

THE WOLF WITHIN (Purgatory #1) by Cynthia Eden
THE WOLF WITHIN is the November 15th, 2012 release from Cynthia Eden's NEW paranormal Purgatory series. Like the name implies, Purgatory is a holding prison for members of the supernatural race, only this Purgatory holds the ones who cannot be controlled.
Duncan McGuire is one of the FBI Para Unit's most lethal and powerful werewolf hunters, but on this night Duncan would become the victim of a werewolf bite that will force his partner to make the decision to either end or save his life. What Duncan doesn't know is that there are others in the FBI with secrets and powers, and Duncan has become a pawn in a game between the Feds and an unknown source. People in power know the history of every agent, and Duncan's family history hides a few skeletons that even he is not aware.
Holly Young is the Unit doctor who patches up the bullet wounds and broken bones whenever an agent is hurt. Holly believes she is unlike anyone else in the FBI and she is hoping to keep her identity a secret. But when Duncan McGuire is brought into her office on the verge of turning wolf, Holly will discover that Duncan's wolf will lay claim to Holly as his mate. And Holly knows that the secret she is hiding, is the very one that calls Duncan to her blood.
We are introduced to several of Duncan and Holly's fellow agents, as well as Holly's stepbrother Pate. Pate is a rather interesting character and one that I am not sure if I like. As the Para Unit commander it is Pate's duty to ensure his men are well aware of the risks and dangers, but Pate continues to expose his men to an ever-increasing world of evil. Pate is a player in a much larger game, and he too hides a few secrets of his own. He is a user and he will use anyone or anything, including his sister and his friend, to keep the Unit strong.
Holly and Duncan have always been attracted to one another, but since her accident the year before, Holly has kept her distance. Pate is trying to help Holly with her recovery, but Pate's actions will place everyone, including his sister in danger. Duncan's wolf wants its mate and nothing will stop him from claiming Holly.
THE WOLF WITHIN is a fast paced story with plenty of twists and secrets that have yet to be revealed. There is a struggle for power within the FBI and the supernaturals will pay the ultimate price when one of their own is hoping to start a war. The FBI has been compromised and the Para Unit will have to go under cover to discover who is pulling the strings. Another fascinating storyline from the mind of Cynthia Eden.
This book was the monthly pick for my online paranormal book club. I’ve never read this author before and this was a really good read. I loved that the author didn’t go the traditional paranormal route and this book had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. There were so many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I never knew what was going to happen and it was such an exciting read. The last few chapters had me hooked and I couldn’t read fast enough. I liked the main couple but their relationship was a little too insta love for me. Other than that this was still a great read and I’m so happy all the books in this series are out and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I absolutely LOVE Cynthia Eden's books and writing, but this one came up short to say the least. The story wasn't even all that intriquing like her stories usually are. The characters weren't really written to where you could either love or hate them. There just wasn't enough information about them to do that. The build up for the "fight" or even the ending wasn't even strong. There were no surprises like usual, no falling in love with the character that I usually do with Cynthia's books. Nothing. I will continue to get her books, I just hope she takes a little more time in her creativity with them than she did with this one. (Not in LENGTH of time, but with thinking out the story.)
As for recommending this book, I honestly am on the fence about it. I am gonna have to be honest and say "no" I probably would not recommend this one as a good read. Sorry.
Holy swizzle sticks! I read this a long time ago but didnt review it? What the heck! Well...good thing I decided to re-read this for a challenge so now that I finished I can review. Yay!
First off I am a fan of the series. I realize after reading some reviews not everyone is but thats ok. I enjoy the series. I like some books better than others but I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
Special Agent Duncan McGuire was human and very good at his job til he was attacked and bitten and has become something else. His job was to track and contain dangerous shifters and vampires. Now that he is one everything has changed. To help him through his transition is Dr. Holly Young who isn't quite what she seems either. They've both been attracted to one another for awhile but never acted on it. His beast wont let him leave her alone now. There is a threat among those he cares about including Holly and question is will he embrace his beasts or let it take him over? Will Duncan surrender to the want who is Holly? Will they all survive these attacks? Read and find out!
There are some issues in the book here and there but honestly for me it doesnt affect the story. Its mainly a sublte development issue with characters and the story. Just not enough in some parts.
I really enjoyed the first half of this book. The writing was good, the characters were interesting, and the plot has some innovative elements. But the second half of the book just seemed a little forced. It felt like crazy twists and turns were thrown in just to ramp up the tension, and the author played the good guy/bad guy trick with every character.
