My Rating:  4.5

What He is Now continues the Wolves to Be series with the next phase of Nash and Summer’s lives together.  And a betrayal of the worst kind.

On the most special of nights for Summer, the first full moon when she changes into her new wolf, the celebration of a new member of the pack suddenly turns into a savage attack.  One where not all the pack members survived… and one was changed, seemingly forever.  Just as Summer was entering into the blessing of a new, healthy life, and the love of the man who rescued her everything changed in a heartbeat.  One cowardly act of betrayal… one ultimate winner.  And lives lost for no good reason at all.

What He is Now is intense, scary, and yet full of the bravery of one newly turned wolf and the love she has for her mate as she will face down the cruelest person of all… the man who betrayed everything sacred to the pack, the man who tried to kill her mate.  I loved Summer’s take-charge attitude, her constant conversations with her inner wolf, and her devotion to Nash.  Again, their story is so short (as intended) but packed with a powerful story that shouldn’t be missed.  There is humor here as well, and I cannot wait to dive into Meredith’s and Tristan’s story next.

As always, I had a blast in this world.  Short, maybe not sweet but sexy, and so good.
