All Robbie Fontaine ever wanted was a place to belong. After the death of his mother, he bounces around from pack to pack, forming temporary bonds to keep from turning feral. It's enough―until he receives a summons from the wolf stronghold in Caswell, Maine. Life as the trusted second to Michelle Hughes―the Alpha of all―and the cherished friend of a gentle old witch teaches Robbie what it means to be pack, to have a home. But when a mission from Michelle sends Robbie into the field, he finds himself questioning where he belongs and everything he's been told.
Whispers of traitorous wolves and wild magic abound―but who are the traitors and who the betrayed? More than anything, Robbie hungers for answers, because one of those alleged traitors is Kelly Bennett―the wolf who may be his mate.
The truth has a way of coming out. And when it does, everything will shatter.

Suddenly I needed this story
One of the best switcheroos ever
Someone please unbreak my heart
So far in the series, Robbie has been one of those characters I think is okay, but he's never been front and centre in my mind. I literally dipped my toe into this book and it glued me to the pages and I whipped through this read faster than normal on a working week.
One of the things that blew my mind was an almighty twist that left me absolutely reeling. Rug was whipped from my feet, down was up, and beloved was hated. This was such a clever plot, Klune brought two characters to the fore and they ruled the pages but the Green Creekers were ever present (after a while) and I'll never not love that.
The battle for Green Creek, freedom for packs, omegas and bonds was front and centre. I finally got my answer on the timber wolf that had really killed me after Ravensong finished. That answer did not disappoint.
Expect heartache. Expect splashes of joy, pack bonds, colours and family. Can I just mention that the way that Klune writes mothers just gets me completely in the feels. Oh to be loved by your mother so unconditionally.
I leave you with these eerie words...
"Will you hear me, dear?"
Thank you Tor Books/Black Crow PR for having me on the book tour!
