Summary

Sometimes it’s harder to teach a young dog new tricks.

That’s why werewolves embark on a Howling: a three-year rite of passage in which they’re sent to a group residence to wrestle with their wolfy instincts and assimilate into the Wider World. But Tanner Araya’s Howling is almost over, and he could be called back to his remote pack at any moment. His 21st birthday might be his last chance to act on his strongest instinct and finally kiss Chase Denney.

Chase is RA at the Howling residence affectionately dubbed "the Doghouse", and he takes his job seriously. So seriously that when he realized he was developing feelings for a resident, he forced himself to keep Tanner at a distance. But now that Tanner’s 21, he’s not Chase’s charge any longer. They could be friends or - if Chase is lucky - something more. At least until they both return to their home packs for good, as tradition demands.

It would take a miracle for them to get together - especially when the other Doghouse werewolves insist on "helping".

Warning: Many frisbees are harmed in this story, forgiveness is not always easier than permission, and the five-second rule does not apply.

so good!

Such a great story! Funny and sweet with so many endearly awesome characters. I liked the approach to shifters and the world of magic created. I loved the Doghouse pack and Jordan is hilarious. Add in a curse, some twists and turns and you've got the start of what I hope become a a series. I need more of Tanner and Chace, demon Zeke, Mal, Rusty, Hugh Mann and so many more. I loved it!

I loved it!!

Howling on Hold was a great new take on shapeshifters. Tanner and Chase are an adorable couple and I loved how their story played out. I found the secondary characters and rules and structures and what might happen to be fascinating. I loved the narrator’s pace and voice. It was enjoyable to listen to. I would definitely recommend this book.

<br />Decent start to a new series. Excellent narration


I love the humour in Ms Russell's books. Most of her stories make me smile. That's always a plus in my mind. The antics of the Doghouse Pack, especially Jordan, cheered me up no end.

I really don't want to go into any detail about the story, other than to say that this is one of those tales where you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. This is most certainly a romance, but also contains lies and betrayals, as well as friendship, love and humour.

Chase and Tanner are our leading men in this one, their romance is a slow burn, with some complications, but it does open up the possibility of more straightforward romances in future stories.

I also enjoyed the inclusion of characters from previous books, especially those from The Supernatural Selection series. A good book to set up what I hope is going to be a new series from Ms Russell, can't wait for Jordan's story.

As usual Greg Boudreaux was excellent. His narration really brought the characters to life. Listening to the story really added to my enjoyment. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable new adult supernatural romance

Howling on hold is a wonderful coming of age, supernatural, action romance with a host of great characters, several known from the Supernatural Selection series.
Tanner is coming of age as his Howling nears its end. This is where young wolves go to a residence to learn to, basically, hide from humans. At 21, he’s graduating and will be able to go back to his pack at the end of the school year. His crush on Chase, his RA, will carry on forever even though he’s never made a move and romance between students and staff is prohibited. At least until they are of age. Chase has definitely noticed Tanner, ever since he arrived, but he’s refused to act on it as it would compromise his position. A series of events, however, lead to them spending three months apart with a lot of thinking done on both sides.
There is a lot more that goes on in this story than the blurb suggests and it gets really interesting! Family drama, relationships both old and new, misunderstandings, and a few mysteries to solve. Chase and Tanner are instantly likable characters. Tanner is struggling with not wanting to return to his pack, enjoying being in the Wider World and learning all he can. Chase is a great RA, really caring about the people he’s in charge of, taking their welfare and his responsibilities seriously. The group of students at “The Doghouse” are such fun to read, especially Jordan who is new to his Howling and finding it harder than most to act less like a wolf. I loved getting to hear from several of the cast from the Supernatural Selections series. Because of the turn that the story takes, help is needed to search for someone and many become involved in that and what follows as danger rises up to meet them and the safety of Tanner and Chase becomes paramount.
I loved the couple and the plot of the story that Howling on Hold gives the readers. I was engaged right from the start and enjoyed it all the way through. Definitely another recommended read from E.J. Russell and I’m hoping we get to hear more from these characters again in the future.
Greg does an amazing job in narrating this story. He provides a great array of voices for all of the characters whilst also portraying the emotions that both MC's are experiencing through the highs and lows of the story. Jordan is one of my favourites in the story and Greg's really brings out his quirks, made me smile.

Unique twist on the shifter world

I absolutely enjoyed this story.
This was fast paced and action packed while in turns quirky and light hearted.
It was filled with mysterious twists and turns that kept me thoroughly engaged and intrigued.
Greg brought these characters to life with his excellent narration.
