Review: More styley than werewolfy - and what style!
Rating: 4 out of 5

The Pack or the Panther was book one in the series and it was such a stand out that I was eagerly anticipating this one.  I read the blurb and thought "Hot Damn this is going to be stunning", but it wasn't.  This book is good but has the sequel curse - it rates lower in my estimation but if I had read this one first I would still be a fan.Lindsay is a half werewolf and can only change with the full moon.  His best friend is the alphanta of the Harker pack and featured heavily in book one.  Lindsay is very, very gay and wears in on his sleeve...and everywhere else!  He is rich and he is not afraid to use that to his advantage.  Seth is a cop that specialises in kidnapping cases and crosses the path of Lindsay in the line of work.  He is repulsed by queens and rich people - Lindsay is both.  However, something about the foppish socialite pulls at Seth.  It appears both feel a mate pull but it isn't acknowledged.The kidnappings are increasing and targeting the elite - Lindsay's friends and then Lindsay himself.  Seth is frantic when Lindsay is a victim and realises he needs to decide whether to be open or hide their relationship. He has to look past Super Granny to the man beneath and realise what a jewel he has, even though his colleagues will judge them both harshly because of Lindsay's flamboyance.There are some funny bits in the book but nothing like the first book.  Had I read this one without The Pack or the Panther then I would have rated it higher.  The book is less Pack focused than the last which is disconcerting considering Lindsay is a werewolf.  I like the workings of a Pack in this genre but there was little of that in this book.  And Lindsay is touted as being hard working and yet we rarely see that.While this is a good read, it isn't as good asThe Pack or the Panther (Tales of the Harker Pack)which I loved.  I am definitely interested in the next one.
