They say opposites attract, and for werewolves Anna and Charles, this is certainly true. Charles, the pack enforcer, is a dominant alpha - whereas Anna has the power to calm others of her kind. Now that werewolves have dared to reveal themselves to humans, it's their job to keep the pack in line. The pressure mounts when the FBI requires Charles' assistance. He's sent on a mission to Boston with Anna, and they quickly realise that a serial killer is targeting werewolves. And that they're next on the killer's list.

Still so good. This books made me want to watch Criminal Minds again.
The recent revelation of the werewolves to the public has forced Charles to be more active in his role as enforcer then ever. It is important to keep the regular citizens feel safe with with their existence, and as such, minor transgressions are having a harsher sentence then ever.
This has taken a toll on Charles, who views some of the killings he has to perform in his role of executioner as unnecessary. In order to alleviate his guilt, Bran sends Charles and Anna on a different kind of mission, one with a double purpose. They are to help the FBI in capturing a serial killer, thus giving the werewolves some good PR and also making use of Charles skills to punish people who are undoubtedly guilty.
Charles and Anna are met with agents from the FBI, Homeland Security and Cantrip, the agency responsible for dealings with the supernatural. Only the FBI is oficialy investigating the serial killer, the other agencies are more interested in the werewolves themselves.
The serial killer has been active for many decades, but only now the FBI has identified that his more recent victims are mainly supernatural beings, faes and werewolves. And since it is not easy for a human to take down a supernatural creature, they suspect the killer is supernatural as well.
The most recent victim is the daughter of a powerful fae, Alistair Beauclaire, who joins them in the hunt for the serial killer. Even with their combined efforts though, he proves to be a touch opponent for them.
During the investigation, must struggle not only to find the killer but also to fight prejudice and contempt from some of the agents, all the while keeping Charles inner demons at bay.
I figured out who the bad guy was and how the story was going to end. Not as good as the others.
Charles is The Marrok's Enforcer. Since the werewolves came out to the public, he has had more jobs than ever before. Anna can tell that it's destroying him, so Bran sends them to Boston to help the FBI catch a serial killer. Maybe the change will help Charles deal with his issues. The killer isn't just killing humans, he is killing the fae, and werewolves. I love this series!! I liked some of the new characters, especially Isaac.
