Almost a year ago, Joanne Stuart’s best friend Christian Clarke disappeared from the very forest that Joanne is in now. It took her this long to bring herself to come here after Christian went missing. She finds Christian’s compass, one that she gave him, in the woods. Opening it and seeing a picture of the two of them taped to the inside, Joanne realizes that Christian had feelings for her but never told her. It took till he went missing for Joanne to realize that she loved him too, but now it’s too late. Or is it? Something is following her through the woods and when she spots Christian, she faints.

The previous year, Christian had been bitten and turned by the werewolf Cain. He staged his disappearance and lived in his isolated cabin in the woods because he didn’t feel like he had control over his blood lust and didn’t want to risk harming Joanne. Cain is angered that Christian refuses to join his pack and is always hunting him. With Joanne in the forest, however, Christian must confront the pack to save her from Cain. Not only does he have to fight for their lives, but he will have to risk rejection when he tells her the truth about what he is.

While the basis of this story was good, it just didn’t ring true to me. Even though some of the pack members that he fought had been turned after him making them weaker, the fights seemed to come too easy for him. The two main characters interacted well but it all came together a little too neatly for my taste. I’ve read other things by Aline de Chevigny and enjoyed them and will continue to read her writing, but this one just wasn’t for me.
