Review: 3.5 Stars From A Harsh Critic
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 7, 2014
I have read a lot of books in my life. I know what I like and what I do not. I only give out 4 or 5 star ratings sparingly. When I rate something 3 stars, the book usually had a solid story that kept me interested. This is an all around good story to read if you just want to forget everyday problems and be entertained for an afternoon.We rejoin our protagonist on her first day as a private detective. Karina has just been hired by her old pack to investigate the death of a werewolf hunter. The goal is to prove their old alpha did not murder the man. Karina's new boyfriend, Jack is a retired police officer now and wants to help Karina. However, he will have to deal with the problems of being a new werewolf, feelings of jealousy towards the current Alpha and have to handle a new relationship with Karina. Despite her sheltered background she is a woman who craves her independence. Will they be able to help the pack? What will happen when they are confronted by a brand new villian who threatens them all?I was looking forward to many things after reading the first in the series, that this book offered. We are finally starting to see Karina break out of her shell and sleuth a little. Jack and Ivan were both clearly fighting for dominance and territory regarding Karina and I was pleased with the character development I saw. We get to hear more about Karina's past and why they moved to America. Again this didn't read like a typical romance and the Authors take great pains to explain why Karina needs her independence and her need to go slowly.My favorite character, of course, is Jack. He is smart, loyal, honest and more believable than any of the other characters to me. I wish we could spend a lot more time in Jack's head.
