What happens when you become the very thing that you fear most in the world? Mercy struggles to accept that she is a born werewolf and that everyone she loves are werewolves as well. She is afraid of them, all of them but most of all she is afraid of learning how to shift, of being dangerous, of not being strong enough and of ruining everything. You must read the first book in the series in order to understand what is happening in this story.Mercy is a feisty and determined girl who is stronger than she thinks, but one who is drowning in fear and self doubt. She doesn't know how to handle being a werewolf and is afraid that she will never fit in with the pack. Her relationship with Alec, her bond mate, seems to spiral out of control when a beautiful childhood friend of his comes to town with her sights set on getting rid of Mercy and claiming Alec for her own. And believe me, this girl is a piece of work.This story is dominated by the amazing characters the author has created. You feel their emotions as if you are standing right there with them - their fear, love, frustration, hate, determination, arrogance, doubt - all of it and you really can't help wanting to shout insulting things at Alec when he demonstrates perfectly that boys can be utterly clueless when it comes to girls.This story is filled with action, there is always something going on and there wasn't a single uninteresting moment(at least from my perspective) in the entire book. The author is a wonderful story teller and her clear and fluid writing has improved substanstially over the first book. To be honest, I am incredibly impressed and I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in this series. Well done!
