This book tells the story of Elena Michaels, a werewolf attempting to live in society and away from her pack. But when pack business urgently calls, she finds herself sucked back into it all. Back into the pack and pack business, and back into the arms of the man/wolf that bit her.
Because in this world, there are born wolves, and they're all male, and then there are bitten wolves, which is why Elena exists as a wolf..
The "pack business" ends up turning really deadly, really quick, and Elena is finding keeping perspective, and keeping herself out of the life of the werewolf, incredibly hard.
I wish I liked this book more. I liked that not all the characters were 100% good and likable, I liked the real wolfy/otherness that the werewolves had, unlike in some other book, and I liked that there was action and gore that suited werewolves. I liked that some of the bad guys were truly bad, evil guys. But the writing was just...not it, and I wasn't in love with the story either. The writing has a lot of things people would say in actual conversation that just don't fit in a book (like, "XYZ was kidding...I think" or "I thought he was going to tell Daniel where to stuff it", etc.).
So overall, this book just wasn't for me. Might be for someone else.
