This is a reread, because I wanted something I knew I was going to love. <\/p>\n

It was just as excellent as I remembered.<\/p>\n

First, I think she gets it exactly right as far as why the supernatural have to remain hidden.<\/p>\n

The public could never know about werewolves, though. That was one of the few things the BSI and the Trust agreed on. The panic, the prejudice, the senseless violence that would surely come if the truth was revealed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recent events in the US have made it clear just how closed-minded and prejudiced people can be.<\/p>\n

It’s also interesting to see how the partnership that has now lasted five books started out.<\/p>\n

If partnering with Trust wolves could help identify when a suspect was about to attack and when they were just shifted but nonthreatening, then Cooper was on board. He just wished he wasn\u2019t the one in the spotlight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also really like the consistency, and how Cooper’s life drastically and truly changed after the attack.<\/p>\n

He was supposed to eat small meals frequently throughout the day to allow his shortened small intestine to absorb the necessary amount of nutrients, but it was hard to do on the road. Cooper didn\u2019t want to draw attention to himself as weak or, god forbid, stopping everything when a boy was missing so that he could get a snack. His guts would just have to deal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But my favorite thing is Cooper, who although prickly and snarky actually admits when he has made a mistake.<\/p>\n

\u201cI should have listened to your opinion yesterday. So I\u2019d like to hear what you think now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This trait continues through the series, as Cooper continually reassesses his situation and himself.<\/p>\n

And I adore the snark.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk to me,\u201d Park said as he maneuvered the end of the rope down the crevice as if threading a twisted needle. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot much to say,\u201d Cooper bit out. Why was he wasting breath talking? \u201cThe atmosphere down here leaves a lot to be desired.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why you should always check your Yelp reviews.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The mystery is excellent, and on this reread I picked up small clues I’d missed on previous reads. It was precisely what I was in the mood for and I immediately started on the next book.<\/p>\n
