Wow! This book was well worth the wait. I absolutely love Goldie and her menagerie of magic animals. I mean, how cool would it be to have a zombie chicken? :-)Goldie is just such an amazing character. She is tough yet caring and it was very interesting watching her try to retain control and be herself all while trying to understand the changes brought on by her becoming? a werebear. Elizabeth has such a way with writing compelling heroines.This time Goldie and the men in her life need to rescue a young teenager from vampires...and these aren't the sparkly emo vampires but truly mindless monsters. It was very refreshing to see a different take on vampires.I also enjoyed seeing the reconciliation and growth of her relationship with her step-mother and brother. I hope we see more of them and learn more about her dad in future books.So why did I give 4 stars instead of 5? Two reasons:1. This is more of a minor quibble but I hated the cover. If that is supposed to be Goldie on the front, it looks so wrong. First, Golden Sunshine Locke should have gold shiny hair, not brown with a few streaks. Second, she looks like an angsty teen and not the cool professional she truly is.2. While I enjoyed the epilogue and what it means to her relationship with her step-mother, I disliked the hint that she may have chosen the one guy in her life that I despise(and who I think is totally wrong for her). I know this is a cliffhanger and things aren't always what they appear to be so I can only cross my fingers and wait (impatiently LOL) for the next book.
