All this amounts to a great mix of strong characterisation, and a plot to keep one pinned to the pages as they race by. I still have a final reservation, however, in that this book, as it is set in a werewolf world, does not have the diverse characterisations and species interaction of her other series, which began with [[Moon Called (Mercy Thompson) by Patricia Briggs|Moon Called]]. It has slight cross-references, however, so is definitely set in the same world. Fans will regardless be eager to cross over, but they may find as I did the thrust of the concluding drama a lot more satisfying than the more tentative build-up.
This , as I say , is a second series from this author, and they seem destined to run in parallel, with the sequel, ''Hunting Ground'', published in the UK in October 2009, with the fifth of seven in the parent cycle in 2010. Once again their UK cover design is better than the American original - one further reason for me to thank Orbit Books for my review copy.
The latest - and best - book from Briggs prior to this was the highly commendable [[Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson) by Patricia Briggs|Bone Crossed]].
