Review: Boy did I want to scream when I read this one.

The werewolves… I normally root for werewolves in almost all stories I read. This is one of those stories where I didn’t root for them. Their way of life is totally barbaric. I’m normally not what I call a feminist. I do like an alpha male that takes charge. I have always wanted to be a housewife because that is what I want to do. But this book made an inner female warrior want to rip heads off of bodies.

The men have total control over women. Women have no rights. If a woman talks back or does something that doesn’t please the male, the male can either beat her or lock her underground. Women can’t choose their own mate. It is an arranged mating by the head male of the house.

Sabra is tired of the way things are. With Philippe dead a new alpha is to take place. A tournament will be held and Sabra will put her name in it. Unfortunately her brother and destined mate have other things to say about it. Sabra will have to work with Shreve to stay alive till the tournament so she can make things better for the women of the pack.

While Sabra is fighting for she-wolves rights, Forest and the rest of Regia are trying to figure out what to do when the wizards come. Forest is trying to handle this and with Tesla being the way Tesla is, Forest is having a hard time coping.

This one wasn’t my favorite but it is definitely the best one so far. Now I have to wait for the next book to come out. Countdown starting now.
