Review: Good old fashioned fun after a previously dark chapter

The fourth book and Michaela's story continues.  The casual conversational tone continues.  Much as I'm sure Lara could, I could listen to Michaela talk for hours...and through these books, I have.Michaela and Lara head off on their honeymoon makes some new friends, but unfortunately if there's on thing their lives are NOT, it's boring.  A cry for help leads to their next adventure.  Even so the book overall seems more relaxed than the first three.  I can see that.  After the third book it was good to get a good book with some tense scenes and a healthy bit of drama, but the story of helping out an old friend isn't quite the same as defending the pack from destruction or delving into Michaela's psyche.  It still plays well though because, again, it gives us a chance to breathe and get back into the swing of things.  By now Michaela's slowly been finding her place in the pack, but we also come to learn just what it is she has given up to make this relationship work, and, without giving anything away, she did give up one thing in particular, and I find myself left wondering what will eventually become of it.  I also seriously can't decide if she should ever eventually get it back or not.  Thankfully, that choice is left up to the author and has yet to be addressed.  I'm just along for the ride.After the tense darkness of the third book (still a great book!), this was a good easy adventure with some mystery, some drama, some hilariously funny scenes, and an exploration into what we're willing to give up to be with the people we love.
