This installment of the Psy-Changeling romance series was my least favorite so far. Our heroine and hero, Talin and Clay, share a traumatic childhood growing up together in a housing development rife with poverty and abuse. They have lost touch with each other over the years, but when some of the children Talin works with start turning up brutally murdered, she contacts Clay for help. As they work together and with Clay's Pack to find the killer, their rekindled friendship blazes into something more.
The serial killer secondary plot was really interesting and nicely tied into some of the overarching things going on in the world of this series. However, neither Clay nor Talin were characters I could quite love. There's nothing terribly wrong with them, they just didn't click with me. Clay is a bit too serious and tightly wound for me and Talin too often got in her own way emotionally. Plus, they both still had enough unresolved trauma from their past that I kept wishing that they would get some therapy or at least have more long serious conversations instead of quite so much making out.
