Rayna is a reporter and just as the female body count starts to build in the city she gets called off to investigate some weird goings-on in a near by mountain town. For months she has been receiving strange letters and photographs of alleged Werewolf sitings and has fobbed them off as fake, but when her newsroom partner takes on the case she has no choice than to follow him up there. On arriving in the aptly named Wolfs Creek Rayna and Mitch start to regret their decision to check the place out when their world gets turned up-side down. As things get worse, and some majorly messed up Shifter plans are revealed, Rayna fears she may never see home again, until her ex-lover Garrett makes an appearance and tries to help her escape. But as even more secrets are revealed will she leave with her so called saviour or take her chances with the crazed wolves? I have to say that I really like this character. She's stubborn, feisty, and even though she's scared shitless through most of the book, Rayna is one strong chic.

Garrett left home twelve years ago and has been policing Bluffs Point ever since. On the night he meets Rayan Ford his life is changed forever, because he has finally found the mate he can never have. After a difficult relationship Garrett does the only thing he can do to keep her safe, he pushes her away, but unable to remove her from his life permanently he watches Rayna from afar. When local women start to turn up dead he connects the dots and fears that a Werewolf has set their sights on Rayna. When he discovers that she has run off to Wolfs Creek with Mitch his suspicions are confirmed, and Garrett goes to save her from death at the hands of his kin. I love this man, he's yummy as heel and the protective, possessive thing he has going on drives me a little wild. Grr... but he is also really considerate and a little vulnerable when it comes to Rayna and how she will react to his wolf.

I loved this book, so much action, suspense, betrayal, fear and love. With a little emotional turmoil to boot... it's great!! There are so many amazing characters in this book, from the hero and heroine to the two crazed Werewolves, Malcolm and Carmen, who want to out the wolves along with the other Night Breed members, like Sabriel. Grr... I'll be wanting to see more of that sexy vamp in the future... lol. There are so many great scenes in this book, most of them centered around the fights scenes and the sifting. I love the Werewolves and the way Lily describes their changes is amazing. I can totally see them going from beautiful young people to half wolf beings, I can even hear their skin move and their bones crack in my head... disturbing I know, but it's great. And the fight Garrett had with Malcolm and the rest of the pack at the end of the book had me at the end of my seat. I love it!!

Another thing I loved was Garrett and Rayna's relationship, their courting period in the book if you will. This romance isn't all sunshine and roses, it's dark and has got monsters in it. Real monsters. I mean our hero is sexy as hell and I love him, but he's still a monster when the wolf takes over. There's none of that nonsense where he stays all perfect and handsome even when he's a wolf - do you know what I'm trying to say here or have I totally lost you all... lol. Anywho, apart from the scary my-boyfriends-a-werewolf thing, these two have some fierce love for each other. Garrett and his Wolf are so possessive of their mate, the way he craves Rayan is hot! He loves her so goddamn much that it's hard not to crave a little some some for yourself... lol. And of course, even though she aint a Wolf, Rayna feels as strongly for Garrett. I swear the love scenes between these two are steamy as hell, especially when Rayna provokes Garrett into mating with her - not that he needed much provoking, but still. Grr... *fans self*

Like I said, this is a great read. So run along my darlings and buy a copy to see for yourselves.

I always like it when I find a book that keeps my interest from beginning to end. And this book did exactly that, I couldn't put it down. Rayna Ford is a reporter just looking for a good story. She also has an ex-boyfriend Garrett Kincaid, who is a cop, that she still has the hots for, but he wants nothing do with her....so he says. His reasons end up drawing Rayna into world she didn't know existed. A world full of werewolves...werewolves who want Rayna to expose them to the public.....but at what cost? And where does Garrett fit into all this? This book had plenty of romance, action, sex, and humor to keep me glued throughout the whole book. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series....if its anything like the first, I'll be up all night reading it.

The story started well and it was interesting when I read the banter the few pages...but that is where
it ended..

Unlike what I read about the heroin's strength, she completely suffered from the lack of it.
The hero, treated her like crap which he admits and she knows, she still lets him.

No back bone, no self respect. I really dislike women who let to be treated that way.

And when authors and editors are going to learn when to use adjectives and when to use adverbs?
When you are publishing books at least do it right.

Reading this book was kinda like trying to put a round peg in a square hole. It didn't fit. The story line was forced and often unbelievable. Of course, it's a book about people who shapeshift into wolves so there is a certain level of disbelief to be had. What I mean is, for every action, there is a reaction. Those reactions didn't fit the action. The story stalled in some spots; and left holes in others.

I'm giving it three stars because I liked the characters well enough. Garrett, the alpha wolf who despises his wolf and refuses to be a pack leader, trying to protect little human reporter Rayna who is lead to a den of danger and betrayal. The secondary characters had personality that really helped the story along. I have read books where this wasn't the case. It seemed that every character mentioned, had a role to play and wasn't just thrown in for good measure.

The book ends with a cliffhanger. It would be nice to know what happens next. Maybe I'll come back around to it down the road. Maybe.

Great read, Graison makes you feel the passion in her characters and the plot is really good; good guys bad guys, love, hate, sex , not total porn but good ole passion - like it a lot two thumbs up- great work cant wait to read more!

First off I just want to say I LOVED this book. It keep my interest through out the whole book. I sometimes find myself skimming through pages of books that seems to drag on and on, but not with this one. Keep me into the story the whole time. In fact I seriously could not put this book down. I read it in one day. Which is very rare for me. Looking forward to the sequel, The gathering!

this was an awsome read it's nice to read a book that breaks away from the boring mainstream of were womance books you know the ones the names different maybe a different place and time but the story is the same. this was such a great story line i finaly had to stp reading around 1 am and pick it back up the next day.

This book was great. It's different than alot of the shifter stories that I have read. The romace, the story, and the plot kept me intrigued until the end. I've already downloaded other books by this auther. I highly recommend this book.

I liked the character development...and a good suspenseful story was given..the love scenes were very hot...I love the werewolf genre.

I like Lily's work, so I bought this on a whim. Turns out, I really enjoyed the story and especially the characters that were developed out of turmoil and love. Lily did a great job here, and I while I haven't read the second book (saving it for summer) I hope the plot unfolds as slowly as this book! I hope Lily keeps writing, really love her work!
