I think at this point it's no secret that I adore Moira Rogers and the worlds she creates.  Oh, man!  Does she know how to write those swoon-worthy Alpha males.  Yum.  Beyond the hotness of her main characters, though, the secondary characters come off so beautifully.  They're alive and the world they live in moves with them in a very real and organic sense.  It's not narrow and limited to the here and now of what you're reading, it's vast and it stretches across states and boundaries.Alec is everything that wolves should be- he has honor, he protects those that need it, he keeps his city safe even though he's not the "official" Alpha of New Orleans.  He's learned that he works better with a group of people he trusts at his back, regardless of what supernatural species they are: Shifter, wizard, or psychic.  He's still dealing with the tragedy of his wife's murder and the role his family played in it.  Throwing Carmen into the mix, a half-blood shifter with a psychic bent, brings out all his protective instincts.I love that characters that we met in previous books get face time in later books.  Jackson and Mackenzie didn't crawl under a rock after books 1 and 2, they're still working hard to keep the supernatural community safe and sane.  They're still a big part of Alec's life.  I adore the familial connections that bind everyone to one another.  Cousins, sisters, best friends, mentors- they deepen the story and make it feel whole.So, yeah.  I pretty much loved this book. The sex was hot, the story moved the overall arc forward tremendously, the characters are fantastic.Originally reviewed at Reading the Paranormal- [...]
