This series could be sub-titled Chanku: The next generation. The protagonists are Gabe and Jace, wolf-shifters raised in the Montana pack established in the previous series. Theyre the kind of people youd expect them to be: kind, competent, protective. Theyre going to need all that to help the heroine, Romy, heal and escape the cultists. Note: You do not have to have read the previous series [although I do recommend it] or even the previous book in this series. It functions well as a stand-alone.
Romys life would have to improve a hundredfold to merely be considered awful. Fair warning, there are scenes of graphic violence and references to the abuse [sexual, verbal, emotional, and physical - including witnessing her mothers murder and her repeated rape as a child] she has experienced all her life. The opening scene has the cult leader trying to whip her to death and almost succeeding If you have triggers in these areas proceed with caution!
Shifting for the first time, Romy escapes but would still have probably died from her injuries or been recaptured. Jace and Gabe find her and Jace heals her enough that they can escape her pursuers, at least for the moment. The pursuit by the crazed cultists continues as Jace and Gabe help her heal physically and emotionally while learning about being Chanku.
Like the previous Chanku stories there is a lot of explicit eroticism and everyone plays with everyone in varying configurations and numbers including m/m and m/f/m. So again, if you have triggers in these areas proceed with caution! On the other hand if you like sexual steam, this book provides it!
I look forward to reading the next book.
