This is the 6th book in the Kate Daniel series. It opens with Curran being offered a chance to secure almost a year's supply of the special herbal compound from Europe that helps young shifters avoid going loup. Given that the only person who'd ever been able to smuggle it to the Atlanta pack was found dead several months before this, it's the chance of a lifetime for them. And also probably a trap.

Kate, Curran and many of the other mainstays of the series head off to Europe, the change to get that much panacea outweighing whatever trap is being set. But from the moment they arrive things wind up being even worse than they imagined.

I liked this book. I had a hard time setting it down once I started reading. I liked the development's in Kate's slow progress towards a show down with her father. I also thought Kate and Curran's relationship problems were interesting - they once again confirmed to each other that they're never going to approach problems rationally when the other one's safety is concerned, which means they'll take the path most likely to keep the other one alive, even if the other one winds up hating their guts. And it was the kind of relationship drama that I love to read about (a true guilty pleasure of mine).

Overall, a great addition to the series.
