Beacon Hills could try to hide its under belly but sooner or later all the muck and grime and blood resurfaced. And that's exactly how Liam Dunbar liked it-- but he couldn't ever tell his friends that. He was a young beta with explosive tendencies. They didn't mind the calm. He couldn't stand it. Liam knows that finally having some peace and quiet in Beacon Hills should be a good thing. He wants it to be. But when he finds that he quietly hungers for the dark places--for hard won fights, for nose bleeds and bruises--he wonders if there is something wrong with him. Although, it doesn't take long for his slow summer to be interrupted. When several people go missing and a new supernatural enemy emerges, he gets his wish.
