I found Shadow of the Wolf (Werewolf Series #2) by Connie Flynn to be as riveting as Shadow on the Moon (Werewolf Series #1). These books are difficult to put down. Lily was so truly werewolf in Shadow on the Moon. She reveled in killing, feeding, hunting, asserting her power over others, bending those who were weaker to her will. She was a true Alpha Wolf, and a Queen of werewolves. In Shadow of the Wolf, Lily has changed. She has left the wild, gone to her childhood home to attempt to find reconciliation within herself for breaking Lupine Law and killing one of her own. That is where Tony White Hawk finds her. Commanded by his leaders to bring her back to the scene of her crime, not to answer for that crime she fears, but for the purposes of his own people: to fulfill prophecies of their own destiny.Lily's true change of heart from rapacious werewolf killer to loving human who wishes to love and be loved, who finds the courage to face the Tribunal and answer for her crimes without excuse, without blaming others, is a beautiful story of the true nature of humans. A leopard may not change its spots, but a human is truly capable of change. Lily's heroic change of heart, her willingness to fight her former werewolf companions to save her new human family and give them the chance at their own chosen life is a story worth reading again and again. I certainly shall. I recommend it.
