This is book one in a nine book series. It was a slow starter for me but once I got interested in the characters, it really took off. Now I can't wait to read the rest of the series. Reminds me of LKH Anita Blake but with a tighter story and crisper writing. This is a refreshing take on the werewolf and vampire mythology:: supernatural creatures are "out of the closet", they are part of society and part of the legal system. Sex is part of the culture of the werewolves. Having sex is a daily activity like eating, having sex for information is part of the job, having sex with multiple partners is normal and expected. So if you don't want to read a book about characters who have a lot of sex, this series is probably not for you! .

My biggest complaint about the story is when Riley is basically raped but still physically enjoys the sex because she can't help it. I don't really get when authors do that "betrayed by my body" thing. Rape is not enjoyable and nonconsensual sex leaves emotional scars - even if you know your partner. A lot of authors do this, Keri Arthur isn't the fist, and it just bugs me. Not enough to ruin the story, but troubling nonetheless.
