No, they're guys not women, and they haven't exactly broken the law, but the whole road-trip-to-escape made me think quite a few times of the movie.I read a lot of paranormal. To me the mark of an excellent paranormal book is...if you remove the paranormal, will the story still stand on its own merits? The other mark is the characters. It doesn't matter if the book is a M/F romance, a same-sex romance, or not a romance at all, but a deep friendship - do I believe that the things the characters do to support each other feel real. The answer to both questions for this book is yes. This did not have to be a shifter book and the story would still have been incredibly good.Axel and Ben are wolf shifters. Ben is gay and Axel is...well, not. And they've been best friends since birth. But something happens - something you don't expect or see coming - that destroys their friendship. You know from the beginning that they've been estranged for 6 years, but not the why. And what you'll probably be thinking - well, it ain't necessarily so. You don't find out the truth until late in the book. There is a banishment, an escape, and the epic road trip. There are also at least 4 villains in this book, each one worse than the next. Some people should not be allowed to have children.The book is excellent. I was riveted, and I read it within a day. I recommend it highly.
