So it's close to the next full moon when Slade it assigned to work with a local game warden to hunt some large wolves seen running the Cascade mountains and and harassing the residents. Raina Ravenwing is a tough woman, but one that seems to calm Slade...even when chasing after weres.
Raina has chosen her own path, which goes against that of her people who refer to her as the Wolf Whisperer. Raina knows exactly what happened to the last Whisperer and is determined not to have the same fate as her. But as she tries, along with Slade, to determine where this new wolf pack came from, she comes face to face with the fact that there are more paranormal creatures in the world other than vampires.
I will admit I didn't read book 1 & 2. That probably is why I was a little lost with some things in the story. That said, you can still follow what is happening and engage fully with both Slade and Raina. I like the twist with Slade being the lost son of the pack alpha...hidden amongst the vampires. It added an emotional element for Slade as a man who's always looking for a way to belong.
On the flip side of Slade, we have Raina, who finds out that everything that she's held dear is a complete lie. When you put Raina and Slade together you can see the two pieces of the whole connecting.
The romance was a bit fast (I think they were trading I love you's within two or three days), but given how fast the overall storyline moved it fit right in.
