While trying to figure out who owned a fossilized dog tag Tory and her friends rescued a wolfdog from medical testing. As a result they ended up with heightened senses and reflexes.

I was pleasantly surprised when the main character was essentially the character I was expecting Tempe to be when I started reading the Temperance Brennan books. She made a lot less obviously stupid mistakes, which I was grateful for.

The science behind the group's transformation was interesting. It was thought out and explained in more depth than this type of story usually goes into. I would have liked to get more character depth with the rest of the group. They had a couple of defining traits, but mostly they were the three guys who spent time with Tory.

Overall I gave this book 4 stars out of 5.
