Charles and Anna are always a pleasure to spend time with, even when they have really tough problems. While Bran is away, Charles is in charge of his Da's pack and answering his phone when calls come in. So Charles and Anna head off even deeper into the Montana wilderness to find out why a werewolf's fae mate would be calling for help. What they find there only causes more confusion rather than clearing things up, especially a warning that there is a traitor in their small town. Who could it be? After all, who would be crazy/suicidal enough to betray the Marrok and do so right under his very nose? With plenty of intrigue, a few hints of backstory here and there from some of the characters, and lots of danger, it is what readers have come to expect from this series and the larger world of the Mercy Thompson books.
I enjoyed this story more than the third, which also had fae in it. But in this one Charles and Anna are in tune and working as mates should, so even the danger lets us see their bond and the way they strengthen each other (more like book 4). The few memories Charles shares of his younger years, the interactions with Leah when the Marrok is not around, and the way Asil interacts with the wildlings all add to the mental construct readers have of Aspen Creek and its inhabitants.
For those who are already long-time fans of the world in which the Marrok and the Aspen Creek pack exist, this latest outing will be a welcome return of old friends. (I gobbled it down in one sitting.) For those who have not yet encountered this world, some of the relationships may seem a little difficult to unravel, but nothing that will keep readers from enjoying the story. Who doesn't love battles against evil?
I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
