This is just what I needed! No one writes Paranormals like Cynthia Eden does!
We are going back to Purgatory, a sort of Alcatraz for paranormals. But things aren’t going so well. In the first book, the corruption may have been cleaned up, but who’s watching the cleaners? (Isn’t that a Latin phrase? Who watches the guardians or something like that) anyway, going back to the book, Olivia wants in. She’s on a mission to find out why some paranormals kill, and others don’t. She feels this is really important, and she’s been trying to figure it out with human serial killers, but it’s time to step up her game. What she doesn’t know, is that she only gets in because someone else wants her in.
Shane is an agent who goes in undercover. He’s trying to figure out what’s going on inside Purgatory. His boss knows something isn’t right, but can’t put his finger on what, exactly. What I loved about him, is that he knows who he is, and he’s fine with that. No self-loathing emo vamp boy here! He’s also not a jackass hero, he’s just strong, determined, and knows his own mind. I hesitate to use the term Alpha Male, since lately that meaning has morphed into controlling a-hole. But he’s more of the true Alpha hero from a few years ago. He’s protective and possessive without being a jerk. His cover is blown almost immediately too, which kick starts this book off with a bang!
I liked this book better than the first, The Wolf Within, but mostly because this book knows where it’s going, and what it’s doing. In The Wolf Within, I feel like it had to set up the new series, where this book was able to just jump in with both feet.

The next book is fantastic as well, look for that review in a day or two.
