Normally I love books on shifters and was eager to start this one.  And though the author had some intriguing ideas about werewolf culture, the book had one fatal flaw that I couldn't over look: artificial conflict.I can't stand it when the conflict in a story only comes as a result of the characters making stupid choices and putting themselves in unnecessary danger.  After promising multiple times not to put herself in danger, the heroine does exactly that the very first chance she gets, and willingly gives herself to the bad guys.  Plus, I don't think it was explained well enough about why the heroine was changed in the first place or why the bad guys wanted her so much.And the relationship between the two main characters progressed too quickly and unbelievably for me.  I found myself doing a lot of skimming while reading and ultimately gave up before the end.I gave the book 2 stars for the interesting bits of world building at the beginning.  I really, really wanted to like this book (and the hero had an interesting back story).  But I just couldn't get invested in the story enough to really feel connected to the characters or worry when they were in danger.
