My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summary from GoodReads

In a world of danger and uncertainty, the Alpha has enough to worry about without him...

For Alpha Evie Kitwanasdottir, things are never easy. The Great North Pack has just survived a deadly attack. Evie is determined to do whatever is necessary to keep her Pack safe, especially from the four Shifters who are their prisoners.

Constantine lost his parents and his humanity on the same devastating day. He has been a thoughtless killer ever since. When Constantine is moved to live under Evie's watchful eye, he discovers that taking directions and having a purpose are not the same thing.

Each moment spent together brings new revelations to Constantine, who begins to understand the loneliness of being Alpha. He finds strength and direction in helping Evie, but there is no room for a small love in the Pack, so Constantine must work harder than ever to prove to Evie he is capable of a love big enough for the Great North Pack itself.

REVIEW

I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. 

I felt blessed by the wolf goddesses when this ARC landed on my kindle. There's nothing I don't love more than wolves who try to be human, balance the wild and the human nature in a heartbreaking and sometimes funny way. 

The fourth book of the series, takes place in the aftermath of the third book. Now if you are not familiar with the series I do recommend you go and read the other books first before reading this review.

Three Shifters, mortal enemies of the Great North Pack, live among them as prisoners equally mistrusted, yet equally with the chance of becoming more. Constantine whose loneliness is a gap in his heart, falls in love with the Alpha of the Pack, Evie, who is equally lonely among the responsibilities of being an Alpha after the events of the previous books.

I loved the way Maria Vale made these characters feel so real and so...gentle in their wilderness. Also, the hidden message of the danger wolves face in the forests of both the USA and Canada couldn't be more clear in this book.

The descriptions, the rest of the characters, and both the POVs of the main characters made me wish the book was bigger so I can enjoy it even more.

I don't know if Maria Vale will continue writing more books in the series, but personally I would love to read about Arthur and Julia.
