Ordinarily, a werewolf novel with a strong emphasis on the romance angle wouldn’t rate so highly with me, but Kelley Armstrong’s book was the right one at the right time. Elana, our heroine, is the world’s only female werewolf; her job has been killing rogue shapeshifters. She gets tired of that and tries to retire and live as a normal human, but that doesn’t work out.

What I liked about this was that it was my first exposure to a werewolf novel that really dealt with the political and social dynamics of a worldwide werewolf pack. Fortunately, Armstrong is a…

From Steven's list on werewolfs so good you’ll be howling.

Elena Michaels is walking through life with one foot in the human world and the other in a shifter world.

Clayton Danvers is the reason for that. So she left her pack to forge a life among the humans. But when the pack calls her back to solve problems only she can, reluctantly she returns…to the life of a shifter within a pack…and in close quarters with Clay.

This is the first book in quite a long series. I was hooked on them all once I started this one. Werewolves, Witches, Warlocks all interact. I loved the interaction between two of the main characters. Hate and resentment turn to love. An imaginary world where good and bad collide, where family is important and protected. I only wish we humans could look out for each other as the characters in this book do.

From C.E.'s list on having your heart racing.
