In this second book of the series, Carag has to face his enemies. His friends at the shapeshifter school gather around him to support him, but he has an unexpected ally in one of the wolf pack. Can he trust everyone at school? He knows someone has been feeding information to his enemies outside the school, and Carag begins to question even his most loyal friends. But the last place he would expect to find a friend is among the wolf pack.

I loved this adventurous book! It's so interesting to explore the world of humans as seen through the eyes of a character who has spent their life as an animal. I really loved the school setting and all the different shapeshifter characters. The plot has a lot of action and mystery as Carag begins to question this new world that he has adapted to. We get to see Carag and his friends venture into the human world a little more, and take on some serious situations.

It was interesting to see how the different Woodwalkers interact based on what their animal form is, whether prey or predator. Their personalities reflect characteristics of their animal form. Carag is calm and graceful as a human, because he is a mountain lion/puma in his animal form. The squirrel character, Holly, is energetic and talkative. The spider character is shy and retiring. The bear, Berta, is cuddly and warmly welcoming. Brendan, a huge bison, is clumsy and friendly. The wolves of the school run together in a pack. In this second book, we get to see a new side of the wolf pack. They are the bullies of the school, but now we see a new perspective for their characters. There is a softer side to at least one wolf, but can they be trusted?

The shapeshifting students have classes about how to shapeshift quickly under pressure, how to navigate difficult situations, and how to blend in with the human world. The whole setting of the school is so cleverly set up! I really liked that the school assignments get more and more practical and hands-on in this second book. In the first book, they were learning the theory, and now they have to apply what they have learned in real situations.

I can't wait to read more books from this series!
