There is a lack of continuity both in this first book that continues throughout the series. I still gave it five stars because of everything else that went so well that I had fun going for example when the Alpha first showed his wolf to Sean he was a grey with a white undercoat, but when he shifted to run with Sean after that Alpha mate’s first shift he was said to be a black wolf with a grey undercoat. Also during that series of scenes, either someone was capable of halting time, or they forgot to add all the times that were mentioned , it still can’t be twelve midnight when he first shifted, then a least two hours of running around the compound and remember to add time to get from scene to scene if Sean shifted at 12 he did not start running exactly a 12 he had to adjust to his other form talk to Edmond, find and opened the sliding glass doors with the special button on th floor then when he first got outside he was overwhelmed with the sights,sounds, and odours of the desert. they said that they were gone for over two hour hours jet they said it was still just after 12 add up shifting back and quenching their thirst a semi protected love scene it had to have been at least three am before they basically passed out while waiting for the mating knot to deflate or rather drain away the extra blood that was used to inflate the knot in the first place. There are differences between the books also when Remy put his newly discovered mate into the guest suite, where he was staying and he stayed in the master suite they got the floors confused the official master suite was on the third floor taking up the majority of that level, they dad it on the second floor and the guest suite on the third floor. just some of the things that I’ve noticed. but then again I’ve have either actually read or listened easily between fifty to a hundred times give or take a few either way,I also get it subliminally , as I will listen to help shut down my wakeful brain, it allows the subconscious part of the brain to do what its supposed to, which unfortunately for me the conscious brain to relax and all that it has to do other than keep the body alive, is to take in this story, sleep teaching does work somewhat but it takes many hours of repeating the same thing each time you go to sleep. I can almost recite the entire book by now. So that and I tend to be a perfectionist about certain things and not having those story’s main concepts changed is one of them be cause itself like nails on a chalkboard for be, the story stops, until I pick out the error then when I hear it again I’m ready for it sort of life getting immunity from a certain illness because then your body is ready for it if you are exposed to it
again .but not everyone notices these things and I’ve have rally earned my nickname of “picky Vicki” several times over. All in all a great book and series. What was really sad and unfortunate devastating for the author is that she was unable to finish the entire series, the thing that the Gods have been putting the logo badly in readiness for has not full developed fully yet , she just started the section of the series where the Betas start to get their mates, and in protocol order. Armoud’s Head beta already has his mate, very conveniently, he’s the loup Garou’s and the Garou Corporation’s head legal eagle and shock he is fully human.the next in line is Rene as he is Armoud’s head of security beta. each Alpha on the Council gets two betas and their mate gets a beta as their body guard, so there are approximately two go three betas per council seat, and currently there were 8-9 Council Alphas so there were approximately 24-27 beta stories available to her imagination to work with. Oh well we will meet her again in the hereafter, and hopefully she will let us in on what the rest of the series would have been like. One can always hope.
