Whilst Elena may seem like the typically overdone blonde, blue eyed, overly perfect character don't underestimate her. She's also bitchy and damaged and at times her attitude does come close to a little over the top but she's real and I think that's what I liked most about her. This story is gritty and at times dark but wholely enjoyable. Her relationship with Clayton amused me greatly and I loved how they aren't the stereotypical romantic couple that I come across in most novels I've read lately. 
 The supporting cast are brilliant. Jeremy and the other Stonehaven wolves stop Elena's drama from becoming overwhelming and also add some much needed comic relief. 
 I didn't expect a lot of what happened and I enjoyed the plot surprises. There's a lot action and a decent amount of romance. These werewolves are the kind who hunt - often resulting in something ending up dead and bloody. They are not for the feint hearted. I can't wait to begin reading the second book in the Women of the Otherworld series.
