This one was good, like the last. Another easy read with few errors, though a little of the repetitive feeling remained. I enjoyed getting to know Beau and May, and this book helped push the overall plot a little further in what exactly Alden is doing.
One thing I'm confused about in this world is the "dominant" aspect. Everyone seems to have a different dominant ranking and almost all the main characters are described as having dominant beasts, except for May who is the one submissive mentioned. I get dominance isn't a black and white issue, there's a ton of gray area, but it comes up all the time in these books and everyone is always dominant and acting weird because the other person is also a dominant.
This series is also different from other shifter books I've read where even when the town is full of mixed shifter races there isn't one main alpha, or an alpha for each group with some kind of town council they all sit on. Heath is the alpha of the wolf pack, but it doesn't say if he's the alpha for just the small number of wolves that have been introduced or if all wolves in the town are in the same pack. The cougars are mentioned as having an alpha, and the grizzly bears mention two elders, but everyone just seems to do their own thing. It isn't a bad thing, it's just different than others I've read and I guess I'm having a bit of a hard time pinning down how it all works. The clearest distinction we got was Tessa going from "I'm the only phoenix alive" to "phoenix pick a territory and don't leave it or go into other territories unless it's a blood relation".
