Ehhh. To say the truth I don't like paranormal romance. I actually thought this was a urban fantasy book, which I do like.
Good points of the book
+ I liked the bizarre nazi werewolves. I mean usually it would be deemed to silly to appear in a book, but it makes actually a good plot.
+ The german hunter was actually a pretty cool character.
+ I could read this in one sitting.
+ I liked the last part of the book (since).
Bad points of the book
- The main character is SO annoying and SO Mary Sue. She's this not girly-girl who has daddy issues and nobody loves her and isn't gorgeous but has HUGE breasts and doesn't let anyone in her life BUT WAIT this super hot super cool maybe a werewolf dude comes along. Seriously her daddy issues and mary-sueness were awful. You do not have to drop every two pages that nobody ever loved you and that your father left you. It made me want to drop the book a few times. She is also very dense.
- Will. Seriously that dude annoyed me. He was set up to be a werewolf with all the super speed and all that, There was a ton of pointless sex and he was a super hot dude but who was also insecure and... let's drop it there.
But considering what I've read from the genre, it's above average, so I'm giving it three stars.

I liked the mystery and the idea of the characters and their relationships. The ending (and the big reveals) also worked quite well for me. I had some issues/problems with Jessie being so jaded etc when she was only twenty-six. There was no specific trauma or issue that I could perceive and yet she would never marry, men/boys didn't really see her. She was also rather critical of some of the junior? cops. This is a pet peeve of mine; you can be jaded and vulnerable (and good at your job) and have issues with self-esteem and belonging, but when you've only been a cop for about four years (there is a reference to her going to university) I have trouble taking your comments about your long years on the force seriously.

On one hand, it's got evil Nazi werewolves running around in the woods of Wisconsin, looking to create a super-werewolf god. On the other hand, it's not a very good book at all. The romancy parts were intrusive, like they'd be figuring things out, or in peril, and then they'd stop everything to sex each other up. Like, they were just so HOT, not even evil Nazi werewolves can make them keep their hands off each other!
Meh, I say. Meh.

Reread on May-2016
I read this originally when I started reading PNR. In fact, this is the first series I read which I can qualify as adult PNR and I liked it extremely (despite of unimpressive front cover).
Recently I brought the entire series and I plan to finish it as soon as I can. I've already read 4 of them but since I'm reading it, I'm starting from start.
What I like?
Strong kick-ass heroine (not trash talk wise like in YA but actually qualified inspector)
Hot sexy love interest
Werewolves (finally a series which classifies them as villains instead of hot meat heroes)
Werewolves Hunters
Enough said! read it with open mind (because there is too much woo woo stuff is in here) and you might like it!

This werewolf story involves not only Native American legends but also government conspiracies and Nazi plots on world domination. Talk about a winner! Everything becomes more fun when you mix in nazis!! Talk about some interesting twists that will have you guessing through the book!
