I love these books, but I need to read something lighter in between this book and book 5 release. The plot was intense, and there was a lot of suspense. Some of the spice was in such a tragic context that it did not lighten the read.

I don't really see Wrenlee as rejected. Clay just said the truth outside the shed and then took it too far and said some things that were mean and unnecessary. But given the pack nature, his response should have been expected by Wrenlee. Once the bond kicked in, he fully accepted her, and he wished for her prior. So I don't see her as rejected.

I do love this series and this world. I can't wait to continue and read book 5.
