I pretty much devoured this book. I was uncertain. As much as I love Gregori, his book fell flat for me. This made it up. The plot kept the pages turning, the characters interesting. I loved seeing more of the werewolves - even if some of them were huge jerks. It also had a nice set up for Howard's story. Also, I loved Digger. I hope to see him again. Another thing I had been uncertain was a few reviews said Phineas' character was completely different from other books. He was but the reason why was explained. Plus, he wasn't totally serious. He and Bryn had some fun scenes where they verbally sparred.
