Bailey has problems.

A very gimpy shoulder thanks to challenging her alpha, a newborn packmate with the dietary preferences of an angry bear, and a big lug of a wolf who thinks she’s his mate and keeps trying to prove it in really embarrassing ways.

But none of those are nearly as bad as a best friend who insists she has the right to dream. To want. To hope. To believe.

The leader of the shadow pack had to give up all of those things.

Trying to find them again might lead a lot of wolves she loves off a cliff.

My main complaint from the last few books still stands - too many switches between POV. I like that there are several different view points, but it is a bit much. Also, I feel like a lot is happening between the lines - making me feel like I'm missing out, because I tend to need to have things spelled out :-P

I still really enjoyed it, though. I love the growing relationship between Bailey and Rio. It worked better than I had thought it would. I also enjoyed seeing more of Ivan, and ADORED the pine cone war between the dominants. That one both made me laugh out loud and brought a lump to my throat.
