First off, I really, really like how the mythology/world building for the werewolves has been laid out here. Pack bonds, abilities beyond the norm, and bitten/born wolf differences. It all worked for me.And both Roy and Laura dealing with their issues-- namely PTSD -- was strangely beautiful. Roy's abilities as a wolf put added stress on him. His inability to cope with the electronic world around him was brutal. Dealing with that and waking up as a lab rat on top of the combat stress he'd already been experiencing as a marine in a combat zone nearly broke him. With no pack to bond to and no one to turn to for explanations on how to control his abilities, he's a mess when Laura first encounters him.On the other hand, she's not much better. Watching someone die in front of you is bad enough, but to have played a part in that death, however peripherally, rattles Laura. She's running from herself as much as the events that played out.And when those two wounded souls find each other, good stuff happens. Not right away, mind you, but it does happen.Lest you think otherwise, there's more to this book than just romance and issues. Roy and Laura are thrust into a tense situation with a bad man, have to engage in some thrilling heroics, and figure out everything that comes part and parcel with being a bitten wolf.Good stuff, man. Good stuff.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
