* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review *

Let me begin by saying that I loved book one, Challenge the Darkness. This book picks up not long after Challenge ends. Unfortunately for Fredrik, his brother—the new ‘alpha’ is unstable, cruel, and possibly even sicker than his father had been. When he makes the split second decision to rescue a young girl and escape at the same time, Fredrik’s world is turned around and on its ear all at the same time.
The life Christopher wants isn’t working out so well. He’s returned from college, he’s the pack alpha’s brother, things should be smooth sailing… right? Unfortunately, no. He can’t find his way or his place, until the younger brother of the sworn enemy of the pack shows up with their missing pack member.
The writing is smooth, the plot grabs you and won’t let go, and the characters…. The world is rich and fully realized, the characters, both main and secondary, are well developed and thought out, and the logic and reasons for everything are solid. I found myself up half the night, refusing to put the Kindle down until I had devoured every page and then had to go back and reread book 1 just because I wanted to relive the alpha couple’s story thanks to seeing them again so much.
This is a sold and passionate shifter story with bite and love. If you like your romance to have some kick-ass men and to steam up your sheets, then this is the perfect story and series for you. A must read!

Proofread? Let me start off by saying that Dirk Greyson is one of my favorite new writers. I thoroughly enjoyed Challenge the Darkness, which I picked up a day before Darkness Threatening. I have to say though, all the proof reading that went into the first story evaporated in the second. Consistency was a big problem in this story and I'm not even done. Right off, I was disappointed that Denton's suggestion/observance at the end of Challenge the Darkness was completely dropped in this book, so far. He recognizes Christopher is very likely an alpha in CtD, then immediately Chris banishes that notion at the beginning of DT. In CtD the author says that Chris received a degree in Forestry and hints that he will likely go on to work with Denton, but in DT Chris doesn't even seem to have a major, which as he puts it, he took a few courses in business and wants to help increase the wealth of the pack. In DT Chris refers to Jane as his sister, but if his sister is her mother than clearly that is his niece. Then Jerry and Carol's son named Dmitri in CtD is now called Vadim--the name of the young wolf who is conspiciously absent so far--in the new novel. Dmitri is now cast as the repulsive twin brother of one of the bad guys who makes a quick exit from the beginning of the story. I'm scratching my head here, if not for the author getting a solid grip on the characters then isn't some of this stuff supposed to be caught in the proofs. Don't get me wrong, the story is well written, intense in some places, and endearing in others. I like everyone I come across, but this type of stuff jolts you out of the story. And if I am being on the bit critical side please forgive me but why Karl, Mikeal and then \"C\"hristoper and \"C\"atherine. Do they have different fathers? Don't get me started on my puzzlement about the Swedish, Norwegian names given to everyone except a handful in the same family.
