There\u2019s lots of different dynamics at play, and I\u2019m enjoying watching Grace, Lizzie and Veronica settle into their new lives. There are still hurdles to overcome, and some have an easier road than others, but their mates are completely devoted to them, to making them happy, and to helping them claim their place, and it\u2019s so sweet to watch.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, there\u2019s a storyline that moves away from the romance and all of the sexy time going on, as the pack has to help investigate some badly behaved supernaturals, and there is a bit of action as that all unfolds. There are some twists, and there\u2019s still a lot left up in the air, so I\u2019m glad the series is not over yet, and I look forward to reading the next book when it releases.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a quick one, and didn\u2019t hold me as captivated as the first two books, but still a good read.<\/p>\n<p>2.5 stars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>To Be Claimed<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div
