This is not your classic love story where everyone has their HEA (Happily Ever After). No, this is the beginning of the story of an Omega werewolf (a bringer of calm and strength) and an Executioner (Anna and Charles). Published after CRY WOLF but actually the backstory for that tale and set in the same time as Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, this the story of two people struggling to make a life together. Their story continues in CRY WOLF, HUNTING GROUND and FAIR GAME. It is fun to watch them grow and change. Now, all I can say is - Patricia! hurry up and bring on the next part of the story!  I have already read and reread these books multiple times an I am soooo ready for this to continue.
