My Review    4 STARS

I'm pretty sure that I have read something by Dannika Dark, but it must have been a long time ago.  I am now going to have to look out for more by her.

Lexi lives in the same home town and it is the anniversary of her brothers death.  A smaller celebration this year with just her mum and little sister and they see Austin, her brothers best friend who left the town after his death seven years ago.  A man that Lexi had had a crush on all of her life.

But Austin has a big secret.  His not human and he always wanted Lexi too, but she was too young.  Now back home though and with the past coming back, Austin now needs to protect Lexi and her family and his pack make sure to help.

There are surprises in store and a good strength between Lexi and her mother, a strong bond that helps them through the trauma that they are put through, finding out that the past was not what they thought.

I really enjoyed the twists with this book and will certainly be reading more from this author.
