Once in a while - if you love wolf shifters - you come across a debut book and you finish and think "I will read every book this author ever writes."This is one of those books.It was an amazing story. It's different, for one thing. It shifts between first person for Lily, the MC, and third person for Damon, the male MC. I loved the characters. I loved the dialogue. I think Devin is one of the most over-the-top psycho villains I've encountered in years. He was practically foaming at the mouth crazy - and that wasn't just because he was wolf.Unfortunately, at one point, Lily succumbed to Idiotic Heroine Syndrome, which we know goes around in these books. She wants Damon to "open up about his feelings". He's an Alpha, for crying out loud. Alphas fight and have sex and protect their mates. But they don't do exploring their inner id. But I will cut her some slack - she obviously lived in the middle of Absolutely Nowhere and probably didn't get much of a chance to read shifter romances in high school. But the ball is in her court now to spend some time on Amazon!I had to laugh. At one point, Damon calls someone "brother", and I suddenly had this weird feeling that I was watching The Vampire Diaries.I will mention one factual error, since I work in a wolf sanctuary in real life: Lily mentions a red wolf. There are no red wolves in Arizona, only Mexican Greys. And they extremely rare and endangered. Red wolves only live in the wild on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They are extremely rare and even more endangered. I am only doing my wolfy duties pointing this out. So if you love wolves, go to the Defenders of Wildlife website, or WolfWatchers.org, because our wonderful government is trying to de-list wolves as endangered in the lower 48, and we are fighting it. Hard. There aren't even 6.000 wolves left in the States. That sounds pretty endangered to me. Rant Over.But again, I loved this book. I devoured it in a day. And when I was done, and looked at the cover, I realized...it's a series!! Gee, I wonder who will be back to cause trouble?
