I really enjoyed this book. As I stated when reviewing Broken, I have only read the Werewolf Otherworld stories, and again I was not lost. It's been Bout 4 books since the last time the werewolves have been featured, but it almost seemed to pick up where Broken ended and the scenes in betweeen were nicely filled in with background information. 
 I absolutley love Clay and Elena's relationship. I go back to Bitten and I think about their relationship at that point and then jump ahead i think 15 years and you can definitely see where both have matured and grown. It's sweet. They will probably always have a few issues to work / deal with but the point is they do. I really like how Kelley Armstrong shows them talking to each other about things that bother them. It really shows they have an open and communicative relationship, and they are both protective of each other. 
 For me, this book was really about Elena's news that she would be the next Alpha. We get to see the she still struggles with her past, but how those events will make her a good leader. We really get to see Elena moving in the position to be in charge and we get her account of what she thinks she will have to do in order to be successful. 
 One of the only things that was a little off for me was the ending. I felt there were a few things kind of thrown in there at the end to make it feel too cluttered. I almost felt like the "bad guys" got away too many times before their comeuppance. But in that same regard I was happy that they were back fighting werewolves this time instead of zombies and scientists. It just seems more natural to who they are. 
 I was very excited about the addition of new / potential new Pack members. It just gives the Pack some new blood. I hate to say it, but the original members are all getting older and it's nice to have fresher experiences put in there to maybe challenge Elena, Clay, Jeremy, Nick, and Antonio. 
 I also liked that the children were a dominant feature in Elena and Clay's minds, and we get to hear about their activities and listen to their stories on the phone, but there's no gushing every other page about how they wish they could be home with the kids. True they do admit that they wish they were home and they feel bad about leaving, but it's not overwhelming which left the scenes with the twins really touching and sweet instead of taking it into cheesy and overdone. 
 I did feel like there was more story to tell. I know that Kelley Armstrong says that "no character is retired" and I can definitely see where there would be future storylines with Elena. I almost feel like when Kelley Armstrong finally decides to end the series completely it should be where she started with Elena, with the werewolves. It would be fitting.
