(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

Tory Brennan and the Virals pack are forced to confront the existence of a rival pack – The Trinity – who want them off the scene – declaring war by engraving ‘One Territory. One Pack’ on a local landmark. What’s more this pack’s powers seem stronger and their eyes glow red rather than golden when they flare.
Chance Claybourne, who now owns his father’s pharmaceutical company, shares The Trinity’s powers – he accidentally infected himself and his ex-lab tech Will Speckman. Chance claims he’s on the Virals’ side but can they trust him? And if Speckman is one of The Trinity, who are the other two?
As the tension mounts between the two packs an even greater threat looms. Covert government agents are closing in on them, determined to find out exactly how their powers work, to experiment on them. Have The Trinity pack given them Virals to save themselves? Or are both packs at risk?

*2.5 stars*

Again, this book had the story line that was interesting enough to carry me all the way through...

However (and I will keep this brief), the characters are as dumb as a load of bricks. Stupid action after stupid action - just to keep the drama coming. I really think this book underestimates the intelligence of the YA market.

Finishing this book was hard work. I couldn't recommend this unless you were an ABSOLUTE fan of the series...
