The fourth installment in the “Spirit Animals” series finds Maya, Meilin, Conor and Rollan travelling north across the Northern Eura. They all travel with a “spirit animal” that has unique powers. Meilin grieves for her father’s recent death but also hopes to avenge him in killing the “Devourer,” presumably the evil and ruthless creature that opens this adventure. Soon, they arrive at Samis, an unusual village where no one appears old. The four travelers explain they are looking for Suka, a giant polar bear. They journey on to a village across a narrow channel and the travelling is very treacherous. As supplies dwindle, they see the Ice City where they hope to find Suka. With the help of their spirit animals, they find Suka but still must work to end the Devourer and its followers. Hints of romance between Meilin and Rollan and scars from previous battles pave the way for a fifth installment. For those unfamiliar with this series, it may be difficult to learn much about any of the four travelers or the extent of their mission. While this chapter book can appeal to readers in middle grades and to some reluctant young adults, it is rather confusing if one is unfamiliar with the other books. Fans of the series can enjoy the return of familiar characters and look forward to a fifth installment. A companion website with activities and games is another draw to series’ fans.

Tank: I always had a thing for redheads, but between their wildness and fiery temper, I kept getting burned. Now that I'm VP of my motorcycle club, my wild and crazy days are over. But I lost none of my taste for redheads. So when Kim, the first redhead I've ever known who can keep her fire hidden behind a cool though slightly uptight exterior, appears in my life, the only sensible thing to do is go after her. Catch her, tame her, and maybe even keep her. She's not resisting, either. She wants to be caught.
There's only one problem. I'm an outlaw biker, a killer wanted in five states, and she's the sheriff's daughter. They say love conquers all, but this might be the exception that proves the rule.
Kim: I've always been the good girl. From taking care of my mother and my brother with Down syndrome after my dad died, to becoming an internationally renowned investigative journalist by the age of 32. Now, I'm burned out and living at home again, taking care of my frail mother while my stepdad campaigns for county sheriff. I deserve a break, and I deserve to have some fun, not that I've ever let myself enjoy much of either.
When Tank, a bad boy every girl dreams about having at least once, starts chasing me, I decide to do something for myself for a change. What I didn't expect was to fall for him quite so hard. Nor was I ready for the secrets he keeps and how they could destroy my whole family, the one thing I've spent my whole life preventing.
