"I'd always welcomed war, but in battle my passion rose unbidden."OMG right? Nightshade starts out exactly PERFECTLY to pull this Brunette straight into Andrea Cramer's world of loyalty or death."his body's fight against its impending collapse, rendering his torture sublime."Calla breaks the two most EPICly important rules of being a were all within MOMENTS of laying eyes on Shay.  She throws herself into a dangerous battle with a BEAR, then SHIFTS from her wolf form to her human self right in front of him in order to save his life after the bear mortally wounds him.She saves him, knocks him out (I know right???), leaves him in his truck... And hopes that no one ever finds out.Calla is the daughter of the current Nightshade alpha, and she's been bethrothed to marry REN *sigh* the alpha's son of their rival pack the Banes. This is to unite the packs and create peace.Ren suggests they start "dating" before the actually joining ceremony to ease the transition for not only both of their packs, but also his... um... horde of lady friends. ;) YES please.Then low and behold, here comes Mr. Get Attacked by a Bear... *ahem* SHAY... to wreck everything!I tempted fate and now it's hunting me down. I should have let the bear kill him.Okay, really... my ISSUE with Shay is that I never FELT Calla's pull to him. Sure she mentions it and she talks about it and we're SUPPOSED to FEEL it. But, I did not. I didn't get their "connection". *sigh*I was super, hardcore feeling Ren. Uh shhhhyea I was dude. He seems all super "devil may care" but he's really sensitive and protective and ooooooh so YUMMY.Sorry. I just can't get over it."This isn't about love, it's about survival""No Calla" His voice became hushed "This is only about love"This book is so much more than a seriously hot alpha wolf, his betrothed and the dude who has to get in between all the hotness. It's about loyalty, family, friends, love... life and LIVING...Nightshade is PERFECT, I seriously DEVOURED this book! I read the entire thing off and on throughout the course of a day! If you haven't read it... WHERE have you been? Don't wait like I did!! Read it NOW!
