Seriously, go start from the beginning! These stories have humor, thoughtful character development, good world building, and just enough mystery/thriller spice to make them page-turners. This series unfolds a more and more complex world with each new chapter, and as much as I have been eagerly looking forward to this novel, I am now eagerly awaiting the next one! If you haven't been reading this series from the beginning, "Wolf At the Door", definitely start there. I was fully expecting the Freedman plot to be wrapped up with this installment, and while it sort of is, we discover that there is more going on behind the scenes than the characters first new, setting up yet another installment in the next book! Yay! To be honest, in general I am way, way over and done with werewolf books, as so many stories involving them are trite and formulaic. As they grow and change, new challenges arise, but each one is believable, and is based on the initial character outlines and backstories we were introduced to in the first few books. This is NOT that book! Cooper and Oliver continue to grow as people, and I really appreciate the way Adhara doesn't manufacture drama just to create conflict. The characters have stopped developing, and the plot twists no longer surprise you.

There comes a book in so many series where you realize the content has become stale.

The list of potential suspects is long, and with the bodies piling up, Cooper must turn to the one person he trusts the least: the villain he's already put behind bars once and who has nothing to lose by lying and everything to gain if Cooper is out of the picture - for good. What was supposed to be a quick outing turns into a full-blown murder investigation after the pack leader ends up dead, Park's ex goes missing, and Cooper and Park are sent a series of disturbing wedding gifts that are somehow connected to it all. When he's dragged to an event by his family, Cooper braces for an awkward evening but instead finds himself in the middle of an ugly feud between Park's ex and a rebel pack leader.

Not that planning a wedding to his sexy shifter partner, Oliver Park, is necessarily stress-free, but it's better than worrying about the ominous warning, delivered months ago, that Cooper's life is in danger. Until he had to plan a wedding.Īfter taking down an old adversary, Agent Cooper Dayton of the Bureau of Special Investigations has earned a break. Agent Cooper Dayton never thought anything could be harder than solving murders.
