Being new to this genre and author, lt was not easy to understand. Thankfully the shape shifting was pointedly expressed. The first bookwas ok. However this gnre is not m y cup of tea.

Book 1 in a series. Good story- but is not a stand alone. As of 10/2019, series has 7? Books.

The main wolf in this tale isGideon. His mate is a submissive wolf. Apparently this is a no no for an alpha wolf. Gideon has worked it out for himself. She showing up prevents hm from having a mate chosen for him by the Counsel. His uncle tries to wrench control of the pack away from the alpha.

Ms. Ryan can really weave a story. My first but NOT the last, luv the characters and the intensity of their relationships is beyond most all authors. Easily (5) Stars! JB

Great!
