Review: This is the second book in this series but you need to read book one first. That is where you will meet Caleb and learn about how he got to where he was now. Now I love paranormal stories but this one was a disappointment.

In the first book you will find out about how Caleb had been with Amaya but met and fell in love with Gabriel. In the three years he was just trying to make it through life. That ended when he met his cousin. He had killed almost all of his pack and had not known about Natasha or the others. He had not even known that everyone had thought he had been killed also.

Through Natasha he finds out his mom is still alive but is in danger. He goes back to his Uncles to find out that he was a father and hooks up with Amaya once more. Deciding then that he needed the past to be fixed, he goes in hunt for not only his birth father, but the man who was holding his mother hostage.

Dmitri was an evil wolf who leads by fear and pain. Caleb needed to take the man down. H needed to make him feel the pain that he has caused all the others. He had not counted on falling in love with Tyson. Tyson was his mate, yet Amaya was his also and let’s just say it gets pretty confusing. Pretty much he is cheating on them both, but they love him all the same.

Now this is not your normal romance novel because it is not a threesome like most but they take turns with each other. It would have been a five star book had they left Amaya out of the relationship part. I can’t stand books with cheating and that knocked this book down a step. Also I can’t stand a romance story that has a female in it. I had read the first book and was pleased by it. So I took a chance on this story and found out that Amaya was in it. So I was a bit grossed out.

There is a lot of this story that was good though. It has a great story line with a perfect plot. I loved the danger that they were going through. It is like a detective story that has gone the way of the wolf. Even with Amaya in it, the story itself was quite a surprise. I was pleased with the way it was told over all. The first parts of the story tell about Anna who is Caleb’s birth mom and her husband Marc.

Then it goes into Caleb’s story which is actually where I started getting confused at. It has a twist to it that in most stories is a pretty cool thing, but it did the exact opposite for me. There was a lot of dialog and description that could have been left out. There is also a lot of darkness to the story and not a hint of humor to it. So this story like I said is good but it is missing parts that would make it perfect.

Overall, the story is pretty good. I must admit that had Amaya been taken out of this sexually it would have been better. If you are into stories that have male on male plus a female added in then this is your type of story. Once I got passed the sex scenes, which I might add I totally skipped over, I couldn’t put the story down.

Caleb Joelson is a young man on the brink of adolescence who discovers a world he never knew existed: that of the werewolf. As he struggles to come to terms with his new abilities, he grows and matures into the Pack leader position he never asked for. He finds himself disillusioned with the expectations of his Pack and his two on-and-off girlfriends, when one day he meets the most beautiful, and interesting person he’s ever seen before – an eight-hundred-year-old vampire by the name of Gabriel. Sparks fly, and Caleb’s sexuality begins to bloom, pushing him head over heels in love with the world-wise Gabriel.

Can he keep his new love secret from his Pack, or will they force him to choose between the life he’s always known and the life he could have with Gabriel?

Review: This is the start to this series and trust me, you will want to start with this story. At first, I can honestly tell you that I didn’t like it as much as I might have, but once I got past part of it, the story started turning really hot. When you read the first book, it gives you an insight into their lives and the reason they are the way they are. It also shows you part of their amazing world.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I can tell you that I am amazed. When you love one way then find out that it wasn’t really love but just lust. Because when you find that special person that draws you in and makes you feel more than you have ever felt before, then you know what it is like to love.

Caleb was three years old when his mother left him with his uncle. She had left his uncle a bit of knowledge into what Caleb would be going through in his future. Too bad, he himself had not been told. So on his thirteenth birthday he learns the truth, the truth is he was a werewolf. It had bound him to Tara from that moment on until the time came when it wasn’t enough. He was trying his hardest to lead a pack after the pack alpha passed away, but he had so many things to learn.

The betrayal of his friends was in part but the other was the fact that he was falling in love with a vampire. Wolves and vampires were not friends. In fact, the wolves were killing vampires left and right. However, Gabriel made him feel things that he had never felt before.
Gabriel was a vampire who didn’t really know the reason for all of the hatred. He had been changed over close to eight hundred years ago and he had seen a lot. He did know he wanted Caleb no matter what. He knew that if it was found out that Caleb would lose his pack and he was willing to do what he could to help Caleb even if it meant hiding their relationship.

But Tara betrayed Caleb and told the pack. Told them that not only was Caleb gay but his lover was a vampire. The danger, pain, and anger that this brought out was extreme. The twist to this story made me wanting more. It also left me angry and hanging.

I was angry about the way it ended, but I know that book two will give me some of what was taken back. Or at least I hope so because it would be the worst ending I had ever came across. For someone so young to have to go through not only finding out he was a werewolf, but that he had spent most of his teen years and so later with a female, only to find out sometime later that he like men then to come across such hatred for someone just because of what they were, must be hell on earth.

However, in all sense this was an amazing book. It gives you two very sexy men, an angry female, excitement, adventure, action, anger, enemies, hero’s, passion and fire, hot sex and betrayal. It gives you that and so much more.

I would recommend reading this book because it will draw you in and keep you captivated. I can’t wait to get my hands on book two.
