Yet, the love story between Anna and Charles that begins at the very beginning of the series is one of my favourites (at least until I read the next book). None of the characters are perfect, and in their flaws they are far more relatable. There is something that I always love about Patricia Briggs’ books – they have tough heroines that are none the less damaged in their own ways. The fact that there is a serial killer thrown into the mix just makes the stakes a lot higher, and the importance of Charles healing his psychological wounds all the more imperative. It shows the horrors and pain behind the persona of the scary wolf, and reminds us that everyone needs to be taken care of at some point in their lives. Whilst this story continues the ongoing healing and acceptance for Anna of her new status. Yet, that protective instinct still causes her to go toe to toe with the biggest baddest wolf in this fictional world – all to protect her partner. And, although she is kind of able to take care of herself, she is constantly taken care of by others who want to do that for her. Unlike most of the others in Briggs’ books she’s a little more damaged at the very beginning of the series.
