We learn more about shifter and pack society, but honestly, it still doesn't make much sense to me with alphas and slaves and rogues and females and mating. I'm hugely skeptical at the enormous plot hole of how Raven was still so clueless about all of this after living with her shifter misfits for 10 years since she left the labs and also working as a private consultant for the police before she was officially appointed as a Region. She keeps emphasizing that her conduit and shifter abilities are supposed to be a *secret*, but coming out as an alpha should be raising a ton of questions???
The relationships with her various harem members are slowly progressing which was nice. We also gain some more understanding about the conflict between her innate conduit and the experimental shifter beasts inside her. What I didn't like was how she still has no idea exactly which beasts are in her other than a wolf and the mysterious "darkness" around her core. Let's go back to... it's been friggin 10 years since she's been free???? Why has she not done more research about herself yet? And on that note, she starts taking lessons from London for self-defense. WHY ARE YOU ONLY LEARNING NOW OMG.
Raven is a highly frustrating faux alpha character - she's still getting pushed around with key decisions by the males around her... but once again, I do like the world, just not the storyline or the plot details that have been revealed so far. Closer to a barely 3-star than the first book - there is a slight improvement with a cohesive plot. I did find lots of typos though.
I will give the next book another chance.

***SPOILERS***
Raven sets out to get recognized by the council as alpha of her own pack. She is also determined to claim Jackson. She manages to do both and find the culprit behind exploding shifters. The book ends with Raven "cresting," meaning she may shift. She made a pact with Rylan that if she can't control the monster within, he would kill her. She has one week with the witches (part of a deal for her pack status) to control her monster or face the consequences.
There is a lot that goes on in these books and not everything is really explained in detail. However, there is a ton of mystery, action, and sexual tension to keep the reader interested.

The second book in the series begins with Raven getting ready for the Conclave. She wants to make sure she doesn't lose the pack she didn't really want in the first place, and she also wants to get Jackson back. But upon learning new things, she's not so sure that Jackson hasn't betrayed her. Along with the other two members of her pack, Raven must train all the while helping the police find another killer as well. This gets even more dangerous when rouges start showing up around Raven's house...
This one was really good. I really enjoyed Raven's relationship with her three pack "mates." It was super awesome. But the end left me frustrated, and now I'm super excited to read the next book. I really loved how Raven handled things in this one. She was super strong, and brave, and she worked her to keep her people safe, all the while still trying to handle her police work. I need the next book like now!!

Okay, less confusing than the last. I'm more in the groove here. Although still somewhat confused by the way pack works. But, I'm into this.
