What is the series about?
Want to learn more?
The Phoenix Pack by Suzanne Wright is the foundation of a sprawling shifter universe that later expands into The Mercury Pack and The Olympus Pride.
This world is unapologetically wolf-forward. Werewolf society revolves around pack hierarchy, alliances, and dominance. The wolf and human sides are distinct—each with its own voice—and when the wolf takes control, the human recedes. Bites, scratches, power plays, and possessiveness are not treated as kink; they’re simply part of wolf nature, sometimes even in human form.
Each book follows a different MF couple, while previous couples remain present through pack life and cameos. The plots are addictive, full of classic damsel-in-distress moments that trigger feral, protective alpha behavior.
That said, this is a commitment series. Across nearly twenty interconnected books, the cast grows large, and remembering everyone’s backstory can start to feel like work. Some readers love that level of continuity; others (me included) may eventually crave something different.
Reading order (recommended)
The timeline between series is intertwined, and this order keeps events and character arcs clear:
• The Phoenix Pack — Books 1–4
• The Mercury Pack — Book 1
• The Phoenix Pack — Book 5
• The Mercury Pack — Book 2
• The Phoenix Pack — Book 6
• The Mercury Pack — Book 3
• The Phoenix Pack — Book 7
• The Mercury Pack — Book 4
• The Phoenix Pack — Book 8
• The Mercury Pack — Book 5
• Eight years later: The Olympus Pride — Books 1–6
⚠️ The Olympus Pride contains spoilers and cameos from both prior series, so it’s best saved for last.

My Review
This in an amazing series!
Suzanne Wright consistently delivers what shifter romance readers expect: strong alpha males, dangerous situations that trigger protective instincts, and reliably spicy scenes.
In my opinion, Feral Sins (book one) is untouchable. Best romance, best plot, best characters—nothing I’ve read in The Phoenix Pack, The Mercury Pack, or The Olympus Pride has come close. I know I’m in the minority here; most readers love the entire universe, and Suzanne Wright’s work in general.
What truly sets this series apart is how deeply the wolf side is woven into the storytelling. Every shift feels visceral. Even in human form, the characters are predatory, instinctive, and driven by their wolf nature. I loved how the animal side is never sidelined—it shapes the banter, the conflicts, and the intimacy.
The plots themselves are highly bingeable, full of danger, pack tension, and high-stakes moments that keep the pages turning. That said, over time I did start craving something different—a new world where I didn’t need to mentally juggle dozens of characters before meeting even more.

If I Had to Critique Something
-
The long interconnected world: Each new book introduces a new couple, but older couples constantly appear or are mentioned. Across 19 books, this feels like a huge commitment, and keeping every backstory straight becomes more like work than fun. Some readers enjoy this—it’s just not for me.
-
Character repetition: Later heroines sometimes feel like variations of Taryn. For example, Jamie (Phoenix Pack Book 2) was too similar for my taste, and since Taryn is iconic, that made Jamie come across as a weaker copy.
-
Cameos overload: The constant reappearance of characters across books, while fun at first, gets tiring in such a long series.
That said, if you’re looking for alpha wolf shifters, fiery heroines, and plenty of heat, Suzanne Wright consistently delivers in every single book.
