About this listen
A brutal murder, a suspect in jail, and an execution planned - but what if the wrong person is about to be killed?
When a fellow US Marshal asks Anita Blake to fly to a tiny community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on an emergency consult, she knows time is running short. When she arrives, there is plenty of proof that a young wereleopard killed his uncle in the most gruesome and bloody way possible. As the mounting evidence points to him, a warrant of execution is already under way.
But something seems off about the murder, and Anita has been asked for her expert opinion on the crime scene. Despite escalating pressure from local cops and the family’s cries for justice for their dead patriarch, Anita quickly realizes that the evidence doesn’t quite add up.
Time is against Anita, as the tight-knit community is up in arms and its fear of supernaturals is growing. She races to uncover the truth and determine whether the Marshals have caught the killer or are about to execute an innocent man - all in the name of justice.

Story
Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.

It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his 18th year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

A not so classic whodunit
Reminds me of good old Anita Blake novels with a mystery, some action and not just relationship drama ( though you still get some of that). Enjoyed it thoroughly mostly because of the amazing narration by Kimberly Alexis.

Older and Smarter
Overall this book reminded me of the first novels in a Anita Blake series. I'm happy this book was mostly about work and less of the metaphysics. Happy to see the growth in Anita and to possibly see a career change and children in her future.

Enjoyable
This latest edition to the series feels like a return to the original books. Well paced. Focused on the story. Character development is a part of the story, but not the sole focus. Overall, I enjoyed it more than the last several books in the series.
