The Wolf’s Point werewolf pack, born from the magic that calls small groups of middle-aged women to embrace their inner and outer wolves, has been protecting the town for generations. Now Becca Thornton and the Pack have their hands (and paws) full of all the trouble they can handle. Plus a bit extra. Pack member Erin Adams just found a dead body in the trunk of her car and confessed to murder. But no one’s sure who the victim is and Erin can’t remember what happened. Did Erin fall off the wagon and murder a former foe? She doesn’t trust herself and Becca’s beginning to have her doubts.
If that wasn’t enough, Becca’s ex-husband sold their old house and their new neighbors are clearly up to something. Can the Pack get the mystery solved and Erin’s name cleared before the next full moon? Or do the town’s new residents have other plans?

It has been a few months since we left off in book one and during that time Becca Thornton watched as a for sale sign went up in front of the house she once shared with her ex-husband and then the sold sign indicating that her life was now starting anew, a werewolf chosen by the magic of Wolf’s Point sharing Erin’s home with her while she needs to find a new place and finally dealing with being a werewolf and her growing feelings for her new roommate.
Just when everything seemed to be going well Erin discovered a body in her trunk, a body that was unrecognizable and she immediately turned herself in without knowing anything about the body or if she was responsible. Turning herself in before the full moon jeopardizes not only her but the entire pack since turning in a jail cell will reveal to the world the existence of werewolves. Unfortunately, Erin’s feeling of guilt overrode her common sense and now it is too late and Becca and the pack have to find the guilty party and clear Erin of murder. A visit from the new neighbors who bought Becca’s old house and a visit to the pack’s elders who no longer change but who may have important information that may help Erin and Becca had no idea what these two visits would lead to.
The new neighbors come off as Ken and Barbi although their real names are Jim and Kari and Becca feels that there is something off with them, Annie is still free roaming around in a half-human, half-wolf form and there is a belief that she could be responsible for the dead body but they have to get her first. Erin went from being locked up in a jail cell to being kidnapped and locked up in a cage and once again she is close to shifting and this time it could definitely be a danger to everyone she cares about but getting free is not going to be easy and time is running out.
These books should be read in order and I did enjoy book two more than book one since it answered questions I had and there was a mystery that needed to be solved. I still found the book slow moving and could not connect with the idea of menopausal women turning into wolves which may have to do with the fact that having gone through the “great” change I didn’t feel like reading about it.
