Rifter leads his small but powerful pack of immortal wolf shifters called the Dire wolves as best as he can but it’s hard to lead a group of alphas. Facing an ancient evil set on destroying all Dire wolves he has just about as much as he can handle but then it gets much much worse. Not only is he stuck with the missing son of the murdered werewolf alpha King, he also has a dying woman he can’t seem to let go…ever.

Gwen is dying, the seizures she’s dealt with her entire life are killing her. So instead of sitting at home and slowly fading away she decided to go out and enjoy what’s left of her life, which is how she ends up in a bar where she meets Rifter. She knows the big sexy man has a secret but she doesn’t care. She’s drawn to him and he to her.

Together they face the biggest challenge of their lives and learn secrets that could make or break the Dire pack!

I have waited months for this book! It feels like forever now that I’ve finally gotten to read it but it was so worth it! I wasn’t disappointed at all! The action was energetic and always interesting, the characters, while confusing because there a quite a few main characters, where fantastic and extremely entertaining.

Rifter was the perfect male lead for this story. He’s such a big hulking man, he knows how to fight and he does it very very well. He manages to lead 5 other big alpha males (the other Dire Wolves) successfully which isn’t an easy task since they are all born leaders, not one of them a follower. 

Gwen was a great female lead for this story too. Even though she’s weak from her illness she still manages to be strong and sassy too and while she doesn’t totally fit in with the Dire’s, she definitely holds her own and doesn’t let them intimidate her.

I very much enjoyed the interaction between Gwen and Rifter, they just seemed perfect for each other. And Rifter was so caring towards her, it was really sweet. Even though he thinks she’s going to die he still takes care of her. It takes a special man to do that after only knowing each other a day or two.

The other Dire’s were pretty amazing too. Vice would have to be my favorite since he’s so out of control and I can’t wait to see where she takes his story and how she works his bisexuality into it. That should make for a fantastic read!!!

Over all, this book was more than I expected it to be! I am so so excited for the future books in this series and I look forward to hearing more from these incredibly sexy men!!!
