With no time to figure it out, Jay and Kyle have to find and rescue kidnapped shifters and navigate their way through alpha politics, all while doing damage control for Jay’s newfound uncle.

Review: This book is part of series and should be read in order.
Jay and Kyle have barely had any time to settle into their mating when Jay starts having horrible dreams. Dreams that leave remainders on Jay body when he wakes up. Luckily, Jay and Kyle get some answers from unlikely sources. They start to fill in the blanks about Jay and where he comes from.
Not that Jay is all that thrilled with what is learned. To him, it just makes him a bigger freak. Jay still struggles with the belief he is not good enough for Kyle. Even with Kyle reassuring him and proving it.
Kyle has his own issues to deal with. The fact that he, the big Alpha of the mating is not always strong enough to protect Jay. In fact Jay winds up saving himself and Kyle. But it also leads to Jay learning more about himself and his strengths.
I honestly love Jay. His sarcastic wit had me laughing a good deal through the book. From the things he says out loud to the thoughts in his head, there is never a dull moment. But there is also a seriousness to him and the sarcasm is a way for him to deal with all the changes he is going through.
This book had so many twists and turns throughout. The hits kept on coming. Not only about Jay, but also about the missing shifters and what is happening to them. There is a lot going on in the shifter world. So much more than just missing shifters and hunters.
The first book in the series was lighter and sweeter than this one. This book really starts getting to the meat of the series. There is more drama, angst, and just plan more. Jay and Kyle have their hands full with many different things going on.
The book ends on a cliffhanger and leaves a good opening for the next one.
