But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard - a business district operated by the Others. Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job.

She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's Summary
In this powerful and exciting fantasy set in the world of the New York Times best-selling 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 - hopes 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. The arrival of the outlaw Blackstone Clan will either unite Others and humans...or bury them all.

Hard Lessons
I love this series. This particular book, however, was a lot about learning hard truths. The Others find that they are not as invincible as they imagined. The Humans learn that no matter how hard they try to earn their place in their world, there is always some big schmuck to come along and wreck everything. Sometimes the good guys don't win. Big losses; hard lessons. Some people are suggesting that the characters did not behave intelligently or consistently. I'm usually prone to finding that annoying, but I was totally enthralled throughout this listen so either I don't concur or I just didn't pick up on it. I thought that characters might not have made the best decisions, but most of us do not always make smart decisions.

I love slipping into this world
I loved the previous book, but this story reminded me of the Lakeside community. The timeline for this tale overlaps with Etched in Bone from the Others series and there will be scenes and moments you recognize.
Virgil Wolfguard is Sheriff of Bennett and will bite anyone who misbehaves. He has a chip on his shoulder and collects orphans. He doesn’t know how to react to Jana and I loved the snarls, barbs, and friendship that developed. We meet different residences of the town, including an LGBT couple, a blood prophet, intuits, elementals and more.
Bishop’s world building is fantastic from settings to characters. Combined with Harris’ narration I could settle into this world for a long spell.
I tried to savior Wild Country, but suspense, lies, darkness and more kept me listening into the wee hours. The sleep deprivation and extra cups of coffee was worth it!
Delivered from multiple POVs we really get a sense of all sides from the terra indigene to the criminal elements that work their way towards the town. The climactic scenes had me holding my breath and feeling a mix of emotions. The climatic scene at the end was hard, and I played the scene, reactions and actions out in my head changing the scenario each time. While, I hated the losses I think Bishop stayed true to the series.

Great story line...but....
I had issues with the narration. It seemed a bit flat and there were times it SEEMED as if Ms. Harris got her character voices mixed up which made the book hard to follow in places. I don't think I would have finished this based strictly on the narration but the story captivated me. I REALLY had to know what happened! I have listened to all of The Others books, both World Of and the original and I have not been thrilled with the narration in any of them (all are done my Ms. Harris) but I greatly enjoy the stories and as the narration isn't bad necessarily, just could be better, I have not been sorry to be immersed in the world of The Others.

Weak Story & What happened to the reader
Weakest Anne Bishops of “The Others” series. Grim and over long. The reader has a tendency to add a southern accent to almost all of the characters, but in this novel most of the female characters were shrieking in high C range and jumping in and out if the southern accent. After awhile I put audio book away and went to the library for the book. Couldn’t finish the audio book.

too confusing, inconsistent voice portrayal
I liked the other books in this series. This one leaves much to be desired. In about the first third of book there are at least 7 subplots. I became annoyed because the synopsis indicated a new female police officer coping with problems. I expected story to center around her. Maybe in the way the book Lake Silence progressed. But it bounces around with all those subplots that it's hard to keep what is going on straight. At least in Lake Silence when view changed it was identified as such. So when story seemed to jump about, you could keep track. The voice characterizations weren't kept straight. This added to the confusion of who and what was going on. This book may have been better as a series of short stories. I can honestly say that if this were the first book of Anne Bishop that I heard, it'd be the last.

I can't get enough of The Others!
I was not one bit disappointed in the wonderful western addition to the world of The Other! I LOVED that we get to see the building of a new mixed community. Every character is completely new to this type of dynamic and it was wonderful to follow along as they navigate through such a difficult new beginning.

I love the other series but honestly I am more of a fan of meg and Simon even though this was enjoyable to read about Barb and other characters we heard about in the others courtyard I would prefer more Meg and Simon. These are characters aren’t as easy to relate to then the previous books

Absolutely brilliant
It isn´t often I get so engrossed in a story. Wild Country is an absolute perfection. Mean and nerve wracking perfection full of suspense. But still a perfection, full of Anne Bishop´s magic and understanding of human nature. Beautiful, warm and gripping Ode to Wonders. The wonder of imagination, the wonder of humanity, the wonder of empathy, the wonder of life … And I really feel like there is accompaniment of instruments playing along the story. But that could also just be the effect of the narrator, seriously love that voice. In my opinion Wild Country is at par with any of Anne Bishop´s books so far, might even be my favorite. After having read that a few times now, I realize that can´t be (as I have listened to the other The Others). Must either be a little high on this last book (just finished it) or … it really is this good? Have now to listen to The Others again to find out.

Good story, had to listen
This tale of the Others begins before the end of Etched in Bone, and deals with the settlement of Bennett. It's good continuity, and the overlap was interesting, a different viewpoint. And of course bad humans come to Bennett and Prairie Gold.
I found this compulsive listening. This may be partly because I haven't read the book on kindle first; but the machinations of various characters really held my attention, the more so as the story progressed. This morning, for example, I raked up leaves with my phone firmly stuffed into a pocket so I could continue with the story. I've just finished it. It was a little sad at the end, but also satisfying.
Alexandra Harris' narration is, as always, rather odd, with misplaced stresses....and her howling really is feeble... but it is what it is, and I've got used to it now. Howling still very weak, though.

Bit predictable and samey but OK
I was a bit disappointed with this book - it was OK but I expect more from Anne Bishop. It is basically a retelling of the stories of how the bad humans set out to overthrow the Others in charge of a town - lots of stuff to show just how bad the bad humans are - reminders of how vicious the Others are in the wild etc
The problem with it is we have heard all this before - but with more likeable characters. there were some clones of Lakeside courtyard characters but they just weren't as good or well developed and nothing to match Simon and Meg in the main series
its worth a listen if you loved the other books in this world but I would say its one of the weaker books - it lacked any spark of originality unfortunately
Alexandra Harris performs just the same as in the other books and does a decent enough job
Dont even think about reading this before reading the first 5 books in the main Others series - it is set in time starting during Etched in Bone and has spoilers but also you need the background from the other books

Disappointing.
I was really looking forward to this as I have loved all of the previous book in the series, but unfortunately this was a huge let down. The story just didn't hold my attention and was rather lacklustre. I can't say I particularly liked many of the characters in this book, most of them just annoyed me, and the ending let me rolling my eyes and feeling frustrated. Really hope the next book is better as I actually regret even buying this book.

Yet another winner
Yet another winner in the fabulous series. Whether it be the original or this spin-off I have yet to read a disappointing story. They have all been can’t put down riveting reads.

Perplexing
I have read or listen to this whole series of books and found this book a little perplexing. Sure the others rule here and make decisions on who stays or leaves. Somewhere in the midst of the story it seemed to me that the others teeth and claws were absent and disengaged from the township which I found odd. Not sure why after the first others death , the elders did not clean up the mess as they had done previously.
A little disappointed with the negativity and naivety of the sanguanatti when they had previously lived in Tulland which suffered much from the elders and humans. Hopefully the next book will build on relationships more and not so much isolate the different groups . Overall a fabulous series

Not impressed
Unfortunately this has not been as enjoyable as all Anne Bishops other books. The narrator was so difficult to listen to, her attempt at voices for different characters were at times laughable, and the storyline very tired and predictable. If you are a fan, don’t bother with this book, it will only put you off reading any further books by Bishop. I will not be choosing to listen to books with this narrator ever again.
