This book was truly fantastic- a hot alpha that hides his pain with a caustic attitude and witty remarks, a strong empathetic heroine that breaks down his defenses, side characters you actually care about, a formidable enemy, an intriguing world, very steamy scenes, and lots of action!! Those that judged the series by Fantasy Lover really need to read this one, then judge whether you want to continue (although I still recommend reading that first, this second). I had intended to only read 2 of these per month with a group, but I won't be stopping!
