⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. The hunky SWAT team takes on monsters and inadvertently assists an underground rebellion in this fast-paced adventure.

SWAT werewolf Tyler gave a sympathetic shoulder and ear to Jenna when her brother brushed off her claims of seeing their long-lost sister. When he goes to visit her in LA, unbeknownst to her protective brother, he finds Jenna already involved in danger. In the midst of all this, he realizes that Jenna is The One for him, but getting past her brother and his packmate, Connor, might prove to be the harder obstacle.

MY THOUGHTS

We met Jenna and Trevor in the previous book, The Wolf is Mine, which was also Connor’s story. The two of them worked well together, literally and as a couple. Jenna was quite remarkable. She had a super interesting job creating monsters and make up for movies. And she never gave up on looking for her sister or insisting on what she saw on the night Hannah disappeared, despite her family not believing or supporting her.

Trevor didn’t have a big character arc, other than falling in love with Jenna, making her part of his world, and dealing with Connor. On the other hand, Jenna discovered monsters were real and closer to home than she thought, and she had to deal with the complicated relationship between her and Connor, among other things. She faced a bigger change in the way she viewed the world.

I am not a fan of the uber protective brother character trope. Connor had some very questionable moments, but it seems you can teach an old werewolf new tricks.

The underground monsters reminded me somewhat of the Morlocks from the movie The Time Machine. I was very intrigued by their society and it made wonder how things will end for them and our heroes.

All-in-all, this was an exciting and fun read and I finished it in almost one sitting. I can highly recommend this series if you like werewolves and other paranormal creatures and plenty of nail-biting action. Personally, I think it’s best to read the books in order, the characters will make more sense and you won’t miss out on any story development.
