An excellent fantasy wolf shifter adventure with black magic and demons thrown in for good measure.
Embleton has created a range of wonderful characters whom drive the plot forward as they desperately search for a way to survive and save their pack.
I loved Nyah. Feisty, determined, lovable and prepared to sacrifice her life for those she loves, and up against a dark horror no one can defeat. Embleton keeps the tension high as we follow Nyah fleeing for her life and trying not to draw trouble down on other innocents. I love that Embleton didn't take the easy option at the beginning and draws us into the new alphas nefarious plans.
Stumbling though the world with her wolf instincts bound by dark magic, Nyah accidentally ventures into another packs territory. Dean, the packs alpha is another wonderful character we all happily fall in love with. The banter between the two, and Nyah's reactions are brilliantly portrayed and very well written.
You are drawn into the troubles of all the pack members, and even the minor characters are well fleshed out, and sympathetic so you are rooting for them as well.
A fast paced, easy to read, thrilling adventure which will keep you hooked thoughout. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
