"Winter Wolf" by R.J. Blain is fantastic!

It's a great follow-up book to Inquisitor even if it does chronologically come before the first book. Because I love Blain's books and how they're written, I'm going to include just a few bits of the things that I love about these books that aren't really about the story. Does that make sense? I don't know... Whatever!

Jurassic Park references. Yes, she references Jurassic Park in a joke to a Detective. It's wonderful!

The way Dominic and Nicole both express my feelings of dogs in various ways and their interactions with each other! "... if another one of those rats nips at my ankles, I’ll kick it." Not that I would ever kick a dog, but those little yippy ones irk me. "Making faces at his affection, I wiped my mouth off with the back of my hand. 'Gross. Don’t you two know I don’t like dogs?'" Yeah, I'm not too fond of the licky dogs either...

There's an entire conversation about rapist, ideals, and proper justice that I would love to quote and while it doesn't really give away any major spoilers, it does give you a look into a relationship that develops a little later in the story that I don't want to ruin for any future readers. Just keep your eyes open for it and love it when it shows up!!!

And the ending... I love it!!!
