This was such a super fun addition to the series! The whole of Mitchell's family, mates and all, getting to spend their first Christmas together. Even though this particular story revolved around Noah and Seth, all of the others whom I've been introduced to in the previous seven books were upfront and center making this a very special installment.Keegan, Andrew, and Noah are at the mall trying to find the best Christmas present for their older brother, Mitchell, when Ravens attack trying to get Noah. They are obviously desperate since their war is never to impact humans, however the psycho Raven, Declan, who kept Noah as his toy for a year, has a six figure bounty out on his head and that's worth a lot of trouble. The fact that Andrew is desperate enough to give Keegan a gun tells me everything I needed to know about how outnumbered they were. Of course, having Keegan shoot Andrew provided much needed laughter. Keegan is a menace with a gun, truly.I was very happy that the author wrote a little more about Shane in this story. I have a real soft spot for that sociopathic assassin and I'm looking forward to more of him. It did break my heart a little, though, when Mitchell had to let Andrew know that Shane was working as an assassin for the coalition because, basically, there really was no way to rehabilitate him any further than they already had. Apparently all leopard shifters are psychotic and are usually put down because they are unstable. It was hard for Andrew to hear this about someone he considered a brother. On a positive note, Cassie got engaged to the wolf alpha, Chris, which was fun. I'm not big on het romances, but I would have enjoyed a story about them because Cassie is a total hardass and I like her.This was a great story and I loved it! I especially loved all the little extras I got to see with different family members and the way the author set up the next story about Shane and Trevor. Those two were super hot together and I can't wait for their adventure. This series is so much fun!
