The effort of delivering something new in the abused genre of M/M werewolf erotica is welcome and, in part, successful.The author -who, judging from the nebulous blurb, has unfortunately come to pass- dabbles in his other works with BDSM of which there is only a hint here; here he tries, and is usually successful, to convey the sense of an irresistible carnal and spiritual attraction to the point that the moments when the leads yearn for each other are often more arousing than those where the actual coupling takes place.Writing is flowery but, despite a handful of inconsistencies/typos/grammar mistakes, fluid.(Lady-)Readers looking for the usual "werewolf-mate-clan-wars-sex" will be disappointed as this work actually demands more from them than the simple rehearsing of the usual tropes. Language as well is more demanding than it usually is in those rubbish-sinks and the same can be said for the setting.What was needed here was the hand of a competent editor capable of organising all this worthwhile material into clearer lines without frustrating the original inspiration of the work. The same editor should have also convinced the author that a HEA was possible for all leads while the present tragic one is not entirely satisfying.
