| Their forbidden love may get them both killed. Bella is a red werewolf,
sole survivor of the fire that killed her entire pack. Forced to flee
her adopted gray pack when the alpha male becomes a vicious threat, she
struggles to live as a lone wolf, until Devlyn, the gray male who
rescued her as a pup, comes to bring her home. His passion for her won’t
be denied, but he’s a beta, doomed to fight to the death if he so much
as touches the alpha’s choice of mate. When a local red werewolf goes on
a killing spree, Bella and Devlyn must flee the murderer, the police and
their vengeful pack leader. But with the full moon rising, and her heat
upon her, Bella can’t resist the pull to her destined mate.
Enchanting romance with a unique twist! This author stayed true to the behavior of wolves, for that reason she takes her time in setting the stage and introducing you to those habits. That causes the actually plotting to start off slow but it rapidly picks up about 1/3 of the way through. By that point, I was involved in the story and truly enjoying the characters and their journey. The only issue I had was that people behaving so accurately like wolves made their emotions appear a little cold and their decisions a bit irrational. To me a werewolf embodies the characteristics of both man and wolf, this author took the logic and analytical reasoning out of the decisions of her characters making them act on animal instincts. As the reader I found that frustrating even while it was fascinating. The characters were so well developed and the writing so superior that it felt real to me, my reactions were as if I was a part of the story. If that’s not a sign of a good book, what is?
