I think you *might* get away with not reading book 1 first, but I really don't recommend it. Book 1 lays a lot of ground work for this. I absolutely. Without question. Loved this book. Even more than book 1 and I thought it was fantastic. The feels... oh god the feels. Top it off with an absolute perfect ending. Le Sigh. I think Kayla is becoming one of my *all time* favorite characters.

After reading the first book I decided not to read anymore of the series, but I also thought Kayla had a strange fascination. I actually downloaded the first two books together, so this book was there, waiting for me. I kept looking at the book and asking myself should I give the series another chance.
I still struggled with this book, but then it suddenly has moments when I think yes I could get to like this series. I think my problem was there are no shades of grey in this story, everything is black and white and emotions are all turned up to ‘eleven’.
This manifests as bouts of uncontrolled violence, then there are the relationships that can be so sweet and sentimental it is almost nauseating. These moments are usually followed by mass sex sessions. I think what I missed was the ‘ordinary’.
However the final ‘fly in the ointment’ was the recurring references to the mythical ‘Awenasa’, I really didn’t get this part of the story and Kayla’s revelations about her were enough to make me give up. Talk about ‘having your cake and eating it’.
I got through the book by skip reading past the bits I didn’t enjoy, this meant that for over half the book I would have given one star, but a few bits were probably worth four. If possible I would have given 1.5 stars.

Remarkable!
This is the second book in the very well written Dancing Wolf series. The well developed characters from book 1 continue to fight negativity pummeling them from so many different directions, keeping the storyline flowing from the pages and right into your heart. This second installment in the series ratchets up the drama even more than the first one. I could not put this book aside, reading the entire book in one sitting.

Promises
Can this story get any more beautiful? Kayla, Awenasa, Sam, Madison, and Shannon continue to tug at every string of my heart. I will hope for love, Iight, and laughter to continue for them all.

Awesome story
I love how Amy brings the realist love of different cultures and blend it with modern day with love that Kayla bring to her girls.
