Book two centers around Roland, the pack's beta, and his haunted past. While I loved finding out more about the mysterious and dark beta, I had sort of had my heart set on him with a different wolf from about half way through book 1. This has tainted my feelings a little. Now, in werewolf terms Natasha is a much better match for Roland than the one I had picked out, and she was a great character as well. Even the wolf I originally wanted to be with Roland found a bit of a happy ending of her own. Being introduced to Natasha's pack and her crazy father added some extra excitement to this story as well.
