Worth a look, but only if you buy it discounted... I must admit that I only bought this book for the Patrica Briggs story, which was excellant and I'm looking forward to the full novel she'll be releasing later on this year with the characters.

The 1st is written by Patricia Briggs and when she gets it right she's fabulous - and this is a great example of this. Her story is set in the same world as Moon Called/Blood Bound and deals with a Chicargo Werewolf Pack - Anna who is an abused member gets the courage to inform the Morrok (head werewolf)in Montana of a murder within the pack. He sends an 'investigator' his son Charles and arranges for Anna to liase with him. The story then develops... more info
