OK, I will be totally honest - I slammed the first book because of spelling and grammar issues. But I loved the story, so I put those thoughts aside and grabbed this book. I'm glad I did.Does it still have the same issues? Yeah, but I just decided to chill and enjoy the book for the story itself. And what a good story it is. Ms. Flynn knows how to spin a supernatural yarn, and these two books are some of the better shifter books I've read in quite a while. She nails it. The tale (tail?) is intriguing, the characters are cool, the dialogue snappy.The female villain is just one of the most wretched characters to come along in...well, a long time. I was sincerely hoping for a house to fall out of the sky and drop on her head. And the guys? They're a riot. Because every single alpha male (with the exception of Gregory) is an idiot at some point in the book. They were so freaking clueless, with Alec taking first place, Luc taking second (but Alec is so far ahead it isn't even a contest). They made me laugh. This alpha male would just like to add the disclaimer that we are not all idiots.Mercy was great. She's strong, she's brave, she's determined. Sure she's conflicted - she's a werewolf and she has lycanophobia (it's a real word, I promise). But she handles it. And she never falls into the stupid trap, which so many authors feel they must push their female MCs into. And while there is a Big Mistake, it's Alec who makes it - not once, not twice, but through 90% of the book! I Given Alec's people skills, maybe Gregory should hand the Pack off to his cousin Herbie.Yup, looking forward to the third.
