See all formats and editions

The Blood Destiny series has sold over 100,000 copies. Now read the novella of the events of Bloodfire from the point of view of the predatory Lord Alpha.

Corrigan may have only just started in his role as Head of the Brethren, the de-facto rulers of the country's shifters, but it's already clear he's not going to be in for an easy ride. Between brutal deaths in both Cornwall and London to deal with, alongside a certain curious were-hamster who has far more strength, power and mouth than should be possible, he's got his hands full.

He thought his greatest desire was to modernise the shapeshifter world - but that may be starting to change...

Corrigan Book 1

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

"Corrigan Fire" by Helen Harper is the first novel in the "Corrigan" series. This series acts as a companion to Harper's "Blood Destiny" series. Corrigan is tired of his Alpha abusing his position within the Brethren and decides to act. As a result, Corrigan receives The Voice. The Voice enables alphas to communicate with the rest of their pack along with compelling them to follow orders. If a pack member can break their alphas command, then they are stronger than the alpha and are in a position to take command. Corrigan doesn't want to be the Lord Alpha of the Brethren. But since there is no one else suited for the position, he's going to make the best of it and attempt to modernize the Brethren in several different ways. However, when the alpha of the Cornwall pack is suddenly killed, he takes it upon himself to lead the investigation and to secure the right person to lead that pack is put into place.
Overall, the Corrigan series does a great job covering the events that we already read about in the Blood Destiny series while adding additional plot lines to the overall series arc. I enjoyed reading this series and wished that I read each of these books at the same time that I was reading the Blood Destiny ones too.

Can the new Lord Alpha get to the bottom of the murders of his shifters, and Mack's curious nature?

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019

Corrigan Fire: Bloodfire is the first book in the Blood Destiny series, only from Lord Corrigan's POV. I was looking forward to reading this book because I found myself frequently wondering what Corrigan was thinking while reading Mack's book.

Summary:

Corrigan knew that being the Lord Alpha of all shifters wouldn't be easy, but he never expected to have to hit the ground running when there are murders in both Cornwall and London. His wish to update the traditions of the Brethren and the Way Directives must be put on the back burner until he's sure all of his shifters are safe, and justice has been served. This is harder than he anticipated given his title, but the Brethren has a long and ruthless history to overcome. Having his attention stolen by an intriguing werehamster doesn't help either. He has questions for her. Questions about her display of strength, power, and loyalty, but he's getting no answers. As danger lurks, Corrigan must figure out why the attacks keep happening, while trying to puzzle out the strange behavior of both Mack and her small-town pack.

*************************

I was really happy to get Corrigan's POV considering he was a big mystery, but I was also nervous. I was afraid it would be just a repeat of all that happened in Bloodfire, just from a different angle. Thankfully, I was wrong. There were definitely a few of the same scenes, but we also got a lot of new ones that enlightened us to both the Brethren and Corrigan himself. We don't learn a lot about Corrigan in Mack's book. He's made to appear superior and ruthless when there is far more to the story. Corrigan is definitely a strong alpha were, but he doesn't let his superior strength and power cloud his determination to make the Brethren, and therefore all shifters, a better species. I appreciated the empathy he felt for the shifters he commanded, and found him to be brave and wise. He wasn't infallible, though. He had doubts about his suitability, and he was uncertain his path when leading his shifters. I think this made him a better leader. I also liked that he didn't hide his attraction for Mack. Much. He felt something for her, and recognized he did, but was uncertain where anything would or could lead. I did find it a bit inconceivable that he truly could think Mack was only a werehamster, though. Given his intelligence, experience, and her skills, it just seemed incredibly naive of him to believe it. In the end, I found Corrigan Fire: Bloodfire to be an excellent companion to Bloodfire. Not only did we learn more about Corrigan and his situation with the Brethren, but we also got a better picture of Mack. While we knew what she was capable of, her personality, and a little of her appearance, seeing her through Corrigan's eyes helped me solidify an image in my mind. It was also nice to get a clearer picture of the world we were visiting. From Mack's POV, we knew her immediate area, but with Corrigan's the world expanded a lot more to include his environs as well. It was entertaining to read of the other magical creatures and see Corrigan start his career as the Lord Alpha. My only complaints had to do with the beginning and the appearances of some of the Otherworlders. The beginning just dropped you in a scene, and I was thoroughly confused. I ended up having to read the first couple of pages over again in order to figure out what was happening and even who was speaking. As for the Otherworlders, a little history or background would have been helpful. Although I enjoy UF books, I am not all-knowing and the different species and races can be confusing. That said, this book still kept me hooked from beginning to end, and left me wanting more of both Mack and Corrigan. I'm very eager to move on to book two in both of the series. ♡

I loved every second of this book. I found it from the Mackenzie series on audible and it opens up Corrigan in a new light. I love him even more now than I did. It’s amazing too see everything from his side and see his conflicting feelings. Lovely story! 100% recommend!!

Really not sure and so disappointed!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016

Really enjoyed this until I realised the whole Blood Destiny series was about Mack and this was supposedly Corrigan's point of view and series. Unfortunately for me the warning that I should read the Blood Destiny series came up too late as I had purchased all this whole series. I understand it is suppose to be Corrigan but I am not interested now in these knowing as it feels disjointed.

I don't know why the writer has done this but the reading of what the other series is about has put me off the whole experience as I stupidly thought this was it's own series. It seems to me a prolonged series that should have been one series. Consequently I could not give a better rating because it now comes across as slow and makes Corrigan look a little stupid not to have seen the signs in what Mack was about. I am going to struggle with this now and wish I could have my money back for other books that I would read!.

I just finished the companion series and thought this one might be pretty good.... it exceeded by expectations! I recommend it as a first read or after reading the other Bloodfire series from Mack's perspective. Very good! I cant read the next one

To me this seemed shorter then the original story even though its suppose to follow the same timeline. Guess that's just more proof a woman does more with her day then a man.lol

I liked having a different view of Corrigan's character, he's a lot less stiff and cold hearted as we are lead to believe in the first book (Bloodfire: Blood Destiny series). Its interesting to see how he views the world and his first and second impression on our main female Mack.

I am a big fan of Helen harper's and this is just another book to add to the reasons for loving her and her writing.
Recommend to any fans of the series.

Please don't read this if you haven't read Bloodfire. I don't think you'll find it confusing, I just think you'll find this book less exciting then the main series.

Corrugated Fire - Book 1

Oh my this book was so much fun! Since I have already read The Blood Destiny Series I already know Mack and the Lord Alpha! This story seems to run parallel with the Blood Destiny Book 1. I just love the interaction now from the Alpha's point of view in stead of Mack's in the other series. You will want to read the Blood Destiny Series first, but either way these are great stories, wonderful characters and a fast paced exciting reading experience.

Corrigan is the best! I love how his personality is so mixed with his inner cat. I caught several glimpses of this while I read and I found it rather amusing. I liked how good a leader he is and I can't wait to read the other parts of this story from his POV!

La vision de Corrigan

Reviewed in France on March 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

Globalement ça reprend l'histoire de "Blood Destiny" et notamment le tome 1 de Bloodfire. C'est un effet miroir de l'histoire, on démarre à peu près aux mêmes moments et on termine le tome sur la même situation que dans Bloodfire. La différence majeure c'est que cette fois-ci on suit le point de vue de Corrigan au lieu de Mackenzie.

C'est sympathique, car ça permet de comprendre certaines situations peu développées dans Blood Destiny de façon plus approfondies. De plus, Mackenzie et Corrigan n'ont pas vécu les aventures tout le temps ensemble donc il y a la place pour sa propre histoire et pas seulement une redite texto de tous les évènements avec le point de vue masculin.

C'est donc sympathique, mais ça n'offre pas grand chose! Par contre, si vous n'avez pas lu les "Blood Destiny" vous avez une aventure à part entière avec un personnage masculin avec ses propres difficultés, qui se retrouve propulsé à la tête des "shifters" en tant que "Lord Alpha". Et c'est peut-être même mieux travaillé que la saga des Blood Destiny avec le point de vue de Mackenzie.

Ce n'est pas la meilleure saga du genre, mais c'est une lecture agréable et rapide. Avec un peu d'aventures, un peu de romance et un peu d'humour. Ca demandait à être plus creusé, mais c'est aussi le style d'Helen Harper d'aller dans le simple et efficace.

Bello se amate mac e corrigan

Reviewed in Italy on May 3, 2017

Se vi è piaciuta la serie narrata da mac vale la pena di leggere la storia dal punto di vista di corrigan, visto che il prezzo dei libri è molto basso. Però bisogna tener conto che le avventure di corrigan senza mac sono secondarie e lui spesso rimane tagliato fuori dall'azione principale. Per lo più è la ripetizione di quanto già letto in blood destiny
