I actually really liked this book, though Anita seemed hypocritical at the beginning. Richard for being an Alpha werewolf is kind of a whiny baby, too much of a goody goody for my taste. I think it's all his disapproving and whining that got to me. I had though that it was the swan who was involved in the disppearances of the lycanthropes, but I didnt think that the police in that county were involved I just thought they were a bunch of biggots to begin with.
