Even though the book is about werewolves there is not much paranormal going on.Overall this is a good book - very pleasant to read like all of Nina Croft’s books. She is a very talented author and I like her a lot.However this book was lacking something. I think it was details. The paranormal world could have been deeper. There was just this one pack of werewolves. I also had the impression that the characters were not well developed. We only get to know the surface of them. Lissa might have been in Africa and that should have given her some depth in character. But it did not because we don’t get to know what she did there, why she went there in the first place and so on. According to Croft Lissa fled to Africa because she was running away from Daniel and her feelings for him. But that can’t be everything in my opinion. If a character does something so potent as going to Africa for ten years it has a lot of potential for a great story. However Nina Croft didn’t quite use the potential. It was the same with the other characters in the book. You get to know the basic background information about them but that’s about it.Because of that I didn’t really feel connected with the book. The story was good and also Nina Croft’s style of writing is great. However the book could have been better.There was also something missing in the story line.[Mind you there will be spoilers from here on!]The end was kind of unspectacular. Julia gets scratched by a werewolf and consequently will turn into one. But we never get to know what happens. (Maybe she gets her own book then it would make sense)However the sexual chemistry between Lissa and Daniel was great. They couldn’t leave their hands off each other once they were alone.
