Returning to the world of The Others, Anne Bishop writes about this enticing world through the eyes of another protagonist. This time we have events that may feel familiar to readers who have read the previous book, LAKE SILENCE, as the timeline coincides with one another. I really love it when authors do this because it shows off their talent and expertise. Bishop pulls it off well, creating an interesting storyline that feels familiar yet different at the same time.

While some of the books have a lighter tone to them, this one has a bit of a darker, more serious one. I like the contrast because readers who prefer this style will also be able to enjoy the series. Bishop knows how to handle tone well and she is readily able to switch back and forth whenever she wants to. This is a trait that I admire and enjoy reading whenever she decides to change it up. WILD COUNTRY is another excellent installment to a series that I will never get tired of!

Book Summary

In this powerful and exciting fantasy set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Others series, humans and the shape-shifting Others will see whether they can live side by side...without destroying one another.

There are ghost towns in the world—places where the humans were annihilated in retaliation for the slaughter of the shape-shifting Others.

One of those places is Bennett, a town at the northern end of the Elder Hills—a town surrounded by the wild country. Now efforts are being made to resettle Bennett as a community where humans and Others live and work together. A young female police officer has been hired as the deputy to a Wolfgard sheriff. A deadly type of Other wants to run a human-style saloon. And a couple with four foster children—one of whom is a blood prophet—hope to find acceptance.

But as they reopen the stores and the professional offices and start to make lives for themselves, the town of Bennett attracts the attention of other humans looking for profit. And the arrival of the outlaw Blackstone Clan will either unite Others and humans...or bury them all.
