This is the second book in the After The Bane series, which has pretty much everything, zombie, werewolf, shifters, witches, supes in general. Princess Ravenna is a Raven shifter. This is the first book that I have read about a shifter other than a wolf or cat type animal, and I loved it! I love reading how the author describes things that Raven does, eg clucking and preening, it really captured a great picture in my mind about how Raven would look and how she would act.  I thought it was very cool! I love the language that she used when Raven was describing flying and and doing other bird like things.This book starts off pretty much where the first left off. Raven has parted ways with her betrothed and is now in the Avian Intel team, she has hung up her princess hat and is trying to lead a better life by helping others. While on a mission Raven's royal guards are ripped apart while protecting her from chimpanzombies.....yes that is right chimpanzombies... a new creation from the bad guys in book one, the rival werewolves who are determined to take over the world. With Raven injured and unable to fly she is captured by a enemy Benandanti Templar wolf  Maddox. Raven and Maddox have a bit of a history, they have met once before and much to Maddox's disgust his wolf instantly had his mind set on making Raven his mate. Unfortunately for him, he is  a devout Templar warrior and Raven and her shifter family are deemed Satan's children. He doesn't care what his wolf wants, and does everything he can to beat it back into submission including a bit of self flagellation.But with Raven so close by and injured and his wolf pushing him to renounce his faith and take the little temptress, as well as trying to protect himself from his so called prophet who seems to have lost his mind, Maddox finds himself fighting an uphill battle. Raven who has since she first met him had a thing for Maddox, does what she can to seduce him. Because well, he is hot and  forbidden, and to be honest I think she likes annoying him a but!!!Little did either of them know that Fate had her mind made up about both of them a long time ago, and unable to resist each other any longer they both break with their traditions and decide that love is worth the risk.Maddox is one tough dude, he is one of the best wolf fighters, but he is so not good with the ladies. It is so adorable watching him trying to resist Raven. She is like the forbidden fruit, he wants her, but knows that having her with bring so many consequences that will not be good. Raven is such a flirt and tease, but when it comes down to it, she is just an insecure woman, who really hasn't had much experience with men. She has been sheltered by her family because of her royal status and while her parents are away, she is taking life by the horns and doing things she has always wanted to do. And what she has always wanted was to find a werewolf mate, so when the hottest and toughest wolf in town kidnaps her, its like all her dreams have come true at once!I cant wait to see who the next book in the series will be about!!!!! Bring it on zombie style!!!!!"Woman you are the best thing in my life, but dear all mighty the worse think in my life." Maddox
