A pack broken. A pup in danger. A submissive wolf who will fight with her last breath. Hayden Scott doesn’t know his stroll in the woods is going to start with a backpack full of watermelon and end with him the new alpha of the Ghost Mountain Pack. A very traumatized pack, and those are only the shifters he can see. Too many are missing, hiding in the woods or worse. His wolf doesn’t care. He has a pack. One with maple-syrup-covered toddlers, a ten-year-old boy who smells like wolf right up until he shifts, and a brave woman with green eyes and serious trust problems who defended her pup with nothing more than a tree branch and sheer guts. The walk ahead won’t be easy, but he has a list. Burn down the den. Deal with the evil still stalking the woods. Call Mom.

I'm glad I reread this in 2024 as there are so many characters and so many points of view-- each person has a human personality but also a wolf persona / status, there are many interconnecting people and links. Hayden sees it as a web or a net, and though it wasn't ever quite overwhelming, it was a lot. The whole point of this book is to set up how broken this pack is when Hayden arrives and to constantly show emotional awareness. And through careful listening and brave vulnerable communication people begin to heal and connect and then they can begin to thrive. The world felt quite rich to me, especially having the bear and bird shifters, a legal system Etc. Because there is so much introspection and it's low on plot, it does feel like the Vibes stay with me but not much of the content? This book is all about pack dynamics, community, togetherness, and care. This is full of heart and grit and joy. Some reviewers were a little frustrated with so many point of views and characters, especially that half of them seem to have names that start with K. 2023: so good!
