This book was a bit slower than the first two books, but I absolutely love the relationship Robbie and Kelly have. I almost wish I had what they have with each other. I love this series and don’t want it to ever end.

kharlan3's review against another edition

(m/m, ace mc, werewolves). This book is excellently eerie.

When I started it the first time, I was convinced we’d gone back in the timeline.

Satisfying romantic ending. Excellent set up for the sequel. I love getting more of Chris and Tanner, and I love the pack getting gayer. I’m also pleased with the ace representation.

The kids are appropriately terrifying.

I adore the self-awareness (gayest pack ever, self sacrificing assholes, gratuitous nudity).
