For a shifter fan like myself, Poppy Dennison's books are a gift.  I love that I can rely on them to deliver a fun, feel-good read, without the genre's usual depressing rehash of stock characters and plotlines.  I wouldn't call this an ambitious book, but it features likable characters and small but telling innovations on the familiar tropes.  Most notable here is the emphasis on forming a "pack," and the Alpha's role in cementing the bonds between the members. A lot more page time is spent on those relationships than the usual "claiming" insta-lust stuff. Even the sleeping arrangements clue us in: we see Lex spend several nights curled up with the entire pack before he ever gets it on with his mate.  It's a nice, original touch that shows the care Dennison puts into telling her good-natured tales.Definitely recommended for those who want a fresh, feel-good shifter tale.
