This book was very well done. Much better than I was e. The world building was fantastic. I couldn't help but feel like I was missing something though even if this was the first story in the series. I'm thinking that I need to go back and look at this authors previous works to see if there is other series out there with the secondary characters.

Great characters, sublime steam, and very plausible story.

Ally Marshall isn’t just a wolf shifter — she’s a Seer.

But a girl doesn’t exactly need special powers to know that Derren Hudson despises her entire kind. Disdain practically rolls off the Beta of the Mercury Pack . . . disdain mixed with a healthy dose of desire. And no matter how much the ruggedly handsome male appeals to her, this is one call of the wild she’s determined to ignore.

This is mainly werewolf porn. Well, not surprising considering the title and the author. The story there is predictable and simple but surprisingly neither are there major flaws in reasoning or character personality nor lazy plot tropes.
The relevant characters don't feel two-dimensional, flat or like caricatures of themselves which is usually a major flaw in this kind of book.
I appreciate that a lot even if most of the book consists of smut which is a bit much but I guess its erotica, so... well...
SpoilerCome on, Anal to progress the mate bond? I don't know what to say to that. The mate bond thing there felt so... unnecessary.

Internal consistency and believability of characters are very important to me.
I am pointing out and praising these things because I am surprised in this case as other books by Suzanne Wright suffered badly from a lot of flaws like that.
Some pet peeve of mine was the endearment "Baby". I hate it. It's used excessively and I... just hate it. Well, no point in fighting over personal taste I guess.
So, in conclusion, it exceeded my expectations by far but at the end of the day, it's still just a very simple tale of possessive werewolves leaving their past behind and finding their place and a LOT of smut.

Really good

Ally is a werewolf seer. She can't see the future but not all werewolves like her kind. Forced to move pack as the mate of her ex-boyfriend won't leave her alone, she's thrust into the Mercury Pack under the surveillance of Derren who hates seers. But the closeness makes Derren realize that Ally is different and she might be the person he's been looking for-his mate. I loved how Ally was always the bigger person whenever conflict arose, but I definitely loved more when she had enough and punched the jealous werewolf
