The pack often blames Mercy for bringing trouble to their collective doors, but this time it's Adam's ex-wife who comes calling, with trouble and melodrama to spare. Christy is a human who leaves Adam years before, citing fear of the wolves, but her present (legitimate) danger chases her back to the home she helped build, with one thing on her mind: winning back the alpha and father of their daughter. Christy's presence divides the pack between those who recognize her for the selfish manipulative *expletive* she is, and those who are driven by a need and desire to protect the "weak."
Christy is loathsome, and a desire to see her fall races through the novel. The fact that she brings a long-unidentified danger with her, threatening the lives of everyone around her, makes her presence even more grating.
Briggs is a solid urban fantasy author, and the consistency of her novels will always keep me coming back for more. Night Broken maintains reader expectations, and though it doesn't take any chances, the action and development are what I've come to expect. I'm glad I put down all other books when this arrived at my door - it's just the fun I wanted and needed.
