Synopsis:

He fought for freedom and survived…

During his time in the military, Tristan Cayne has seen more than some do in an entire lifetime. Part of a special ops team tasked with hunting down creatures of the night, he spent his days tracking them, and his nights fighting them.

.…but not without demons that followed him back home.

Back to the mainland, he moves to Rockland Creek, hoping for peace and quiet. Love isn’t in the cards, especially not after his last failed relationship. His wishes are answered, if only for a little while. Then his pack member Dominic turns out to be in charge of the same creatures Tristan spent months fighting. And those demons he thought were only in his nightmares? Well, they’re about to get pretty damn real.

In the midst of his struggle to cope, Daniela Da Silva calls for help, and Tristan has no choice but to answer. History ties them together with bonds thicker than blood, but more unsteady than ever. Because Dani’s not in town just for kicks. She’s hiding, and seeking protection…

The war that was brewing is at their doorstep…

Allies and enemies collide in this second installment, as the stakes grow higher every day. Dani’s hiding secrets, but will they harm the pack or help them? And while Tristan’s fighting for her protection, will he be able to defeat the demons prowling in his nightmares, robbing him of sleep?

…and no one is safe.

As Tristan fights the ultimate battle for his sanity, he also navigates the ever-murky waters of a new relationship. Destined to be together, or to fail? Only he and Dani can tell – that’s if they overcome the fear of losing each other. Their romance wasn’t written in the stars, and it sure as hell isn’t a fairytale. Then again, that’s what makes it worth it.

Stuck between a rival’s pack internal conflicts, a dragon wandering about like he owns the town, and the rest of the psychotic Da Silva family out to get them could just turn out to be the easy part. Fighting their connection, seeing if it’ll lead somewhere other than chemistry and a goold old roll in the hay? That’s another story all together.

Real or fake, truth or lie, the stakes are high. Tristan and Dani will have to trust each other and navigate the stormy seas together, or else risk being torn apart – forever.

Review:

Ever since I read book 1 of this series, First to Fall, I have been waiting for this book to come out! And boy did the author deliver!! This is werewolves done right!

I loved following Tristan and Dani. It was a nice treat to get real characters in a book. So many books have their characters “fluffed” but that is definitely not the case here. Both of them are battling from some type of Mental Health issues and I loved following them and watching them overcome the battles.

Tristan fascinated me in book 1 so I was so excited for this book to come out and give me a full book to experience him in. All his demons he battles with break your heart and make you want to jump into the pages and give him a huge. The author does a wonderful job of making him seem so real.

The author gives us the same suspense she perfected in book 1 and then some! I found myself devouring the book in a day because I wasn’t able to stop until I knew what was going to happen. It was well worth losing sleep over! I now will be sitting around impatiently waiting for the next book so I can get more of the characters in both books and learn more about the next set of wolves!
