Amber returns to shake up the world.Amber and company have just come off their most important battles, House Farrell and Pack Deauville have reached detente with the counterparts in Denver. The Matlal have been contained; Nagas are on the run, the Confederation has been sent packing, and Nobel the rogue has been revealed and killed. The time has finally come for Amber to deal with her own problems. If only it could be that easy... for every problem that Amber deals with it seems two come up in their place.
Diana her chosen Athanate mentor has still not returned to Denver. The FBI still wants to know how Amber fits into the puzzle that surrounds her. Olivia is getting closer to her time of change and Amber still does not have any idea how to help her change to wolf. Her relationship with her sister is broken and her family has never been farther from her. In addition her were and athanate natures are starting to overwhelm her and she's worried that they will start to push her to rogue behavior.
In the midst of all this we come in on Amber finding herself sidelined by the commitments she has ended up binding herself to with her allies. Yet her instincts are telling her that she needs to be in New Mexico. The Confederation has been spotted there, Diana was last seen in the area and House Romero that was allied with Matlal is silent. In addition she must discharge her duty and find the kin of Larry Dixon and rescue them if she can.

I really enjoyed the story but found it a little too action packed.
The characters are not really getting any down time and because we are bouncing crisis to crisis we still are in the dark about just how everything in the world works. In addition the effects from what has already happened in the story may not have reached the entire hidden world. I realize that this is fiction but so much has happened and we haven't seen the full reactions of the world. This means that in my mind we need the time so everyone allies and enemies can come together before anything else can conceivably happen; because I can't see so many of these long lived beings ready to improvise more and more in such a changed world. I was also really hoping that more information about the world would be passed on as we see Amber build her own house and Pack.
The ending was well integrated and showed that no matter what happens the story is moving forward. I wouldn't be surprised if echoes of that event become more significant as the series goes on. So many threads are finished or move on that I wouldn't be surprised if events in the background could or did occur. In many ways this book ended the first part of the series Amber has now entered the hidden world and now must assert her role and work for Emergence.
That being said I am upset how Amber's crisis was left. It's been hanging over her head for the last few books and while interesting in my opinion it doesn't add much to the story. Having her "working toward equilibrium" and making it less fatal would have left the stories just about the same at this point. It sound as if it might be resolved quickly for the next novel which I look forward to because she only has a couple of days to meet the FBI.
Here's hoping that the books keep coming ASAP because I know that I'm hooked and can't wait for the next one.

Cool Hand An Amber Farrell Novel Bite Back Book 4 (Audible Audio Edition) Mark Henwick Julia Motyka Books Reviews
I really wanted to like this story more than I actually did. The overall pacing was really good and we met a really interesting cast of characters. Amber continues to impress with her depth as a protagonist. Unfortunately, the normal cast of secondary characters was kind of wasted in this effort. And after a really good build up to what promised to be an exciting confrontation, the author ran into the same problem that he did in the second book . . . politics broke out. Much like in "Hidden Trump," the author squashed any real sense of urgency toward the end by having a protracted political debate break out that drug on for far too long. It was like watching Die Hard for 90 minutes, and then switching over to C-SPAN. At least in "Cool Hand," our protagonist actually did have a hand in the finale whereas in "Hidden Trump," she was almost entirely a spectator at the end.
I still really like the series overall. I want to see Amber's personal relationships develop (particularly with Jen, who is considerably more interesting than Amber's werewolf paramour), and it'll be interesting to see how (it at all) Amber's familial relationships are repaired. I would like for the story to at some point move beyond the endless politicking, because the politics slows everything down at inopportune moments.
It's particularly hard to take being stabbed in the back close to home. There's always a feeling of betrayal when people of your own group oppose you. - Catharine MacKinnon
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. - Abraham Lincoln
The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. - Ferdinand Foch
Amber Farrell knows everything about betrayal. Betrayal by the US Government, friends, coworkers. Betrayed in every way she ever thought possible – and some ways no one could have ever imagined. As a hybrid of Athanate, Werewolf and Adept, life is a complete misery. Athanates don’t trust her wolf side, wolves don’t trust her Athanate. And the Adept – well, they just want her dead.
War is coming, the first shots have been fired, and without her mentor, Diana, Amber may be going rogue. So, in a desperate bid to salvage her sanity Amber and Tullah make a desperate bid to find Diana by entering the forbidden territory of New Mexico. Now, they are trapped in plots within plots as enemies are revealed as friends, friends as enemies, and death.
"You tread a difficult path, Amber, where every way bears death and sorrow and pain and loss"
As the story continues to wind tighter and tighter, and war becomes inevitable, Amber and her kin, her friends, and even her enemies, walk the razors edge – the edge of death, sorrow, pain and loss – and the brutal fires of a world war between humans, Athenate, were, and adept.
Mark has outdone himself this time. His books have continuously gotten better, but this edition is beyond amazing. If you haven’t read the series, I can’t recommend it highly enough. But this one? This one is the best I have read this year. The hard part? Now I have to wait for the next one!
Sigh. Write faster, Mark!!
Highly, highly recommended!
