O my what a completely different kind of shifter book from this talented author. I do enjoy reading about shifters and I love a good romance but this story just lifts the bar! Totally unlike so many other Werewolf books available and a complete surprise to this reader .Well I guess I just expected a short ménage story but what the author has delivered is a unique tale set in the 1930s that tackles the cult mentality when there was very little knowledge of it. It's such an interesting idea to mix both the paranormal and harsh reality of it all but Ms Gimpel manages to do so with complete aplomb.Noreen is someone who has fallen in with a cult that initially appealed as it helped fill the void within her but as time goes by the rituals performed get ever more extreme. Noreen realises that their way of life is not a safe environment for anyone and runs away but it's not an easy task for a lone woman .Her journey to safety takes her into the path of wolf shifters and she is luckily spotted by Alice who has recently mated herself to three shifters. Alice senses that Noreen could be ideal mate material and helps introduce Noreen to Les and Karl who have been alone for many years. The attraction between the trio cannot be denied and Noreen takes the plunge and agrees to get to know the two hot guys but that's just the start of her journey to a new life .There's a wildfire burning nearby and it looks as if Les and Karl will have to relocate but shifters are not welcome near humans. Noreen's recently crossed paths with a hunter and it looks as if none of them are put of the woods yet! Noreen has come so far is it possible that her past is about to catch up with her? If it does how can any of them ever find happiness ? What started put as a journey to freedom looks set to become a journey to terror!I love this authors work. Yes it's full of heart and satisfies my inner romance junkie but it also challenges me to think about subjects that I mght not always choose to read about.This is the second book in the Wolf Clan Series but it is easily read as a standalone although obviously it would be advantageous to have read about Alice and her gorgeous men. When you read a book by Ms Gimpel you can always guarantee a well thought out story with characters you care about and writing that simply flows. Full of sensuality but never crass it's a delightful way to spend an afternoon and although this may not be the longest book I have read but it was a great read and definitely recommended.
