The second Halle Shifters book was not as good as the first, but I enjoyed the story. Julian was as great a character here as he was in the first book, but the romance was weaker. I didn't really feel that Cyn and Julian had a great romantic connection, and the heat felt a little weak.On another, mostly secondary, note, after a decent showing in the first Halle Shifters book, I am back to strongly disliking Gabe. Honestly, he HAD to leave Sarah to get this big, bad Hunter training. He screwed over Sarah, Jim, and Chloe. And he isn't even a good Hunter! In both the Halle Shifters books he is the least effective character. Alex and his cousin, Julian, Cyn, Tabby, Rick, even Alex's dad, uncle, and Max and Emma get stuff done! Gabe, the Sheriff and bada$$ Hunter,  just makes vague "oh, this is trouble" noises, and then does nothing. He can't find anyone! He is useless. All he does is show up at the last second to try to keep the bears from killing the bad guys. So exactly why did he screw over Sarah to get this training?
