"For once, mated werewolves Charles and Anna are not traveling because of Charles's role as his father's enforcer. This time, their trip to Arizona is purely personal-or at least it starts out that way... Charles and Anna soon discover that a dangerous Fae being is on the loose, replacing human children with simulacrums.

Someone (Fae) is replacing children with Fetches, magically animated and glamoured constructs. Anna and Charles are supposed to be just visiting one of the very rare human friends of Charles - and to choose a horse for Anna, when the local pack become victim. Old Fae are dangerous!
Little of the horse related terms made much sense to me and aren't explained, especially the differences between different types of horse. On the other hand none of it is essential to the plot, and is the author incorporating a recent holiday. ( )
This was a definate snack. After books by Seanan McGuire, Ilona Andrews, Sanderson and McClellan, the book--while good just seemed....short.
It wasn't bad--there was good characterization, lessons learned, blah, blah, blah, but it felt, IMO, like a book meant to keep the series going rather than integral to the series. ( )

To the lovely people who've made the journey with the Arabian horses so much fun: Brenda, who was there at the beginning; terrific travel companions Ed and Adriana; Alice, Bill, and Joan of Rieckman's Arabians, who made the trek before I did and tendered useful advice along the way; Dolly, Doug, and Peggy at Orrion Farms, who provided a jump start and guidance; Deb, Kim, and Portia at High Country Training for turning my ponies into good citizens; Robert and Dixie North, who love the horses as much as I do; and Nahero, my big Arab gelding, who has been my companion these twenty-eight years. But mostly to my very patient husband, who is particularly gifted at making dreams come true.

The fae lord stalked back and forth in his cell of gray stone. (Prologue)
'Okay,' said Charles Cornick, younger son of the Marrok who ruled the werewolves in North America, and also, Anna had come to believe, the rest of the world. (chapter 1)

Cantrip [acronym for 'Combined Nonhuman and Transhuman Relations Provisors, as stated in chapter 2 of Fair Game] seemed to attract a variety of people, from the true-believer geek to the rabid 'kill them all and God sort 'em out' kook and most everyone else in between. Leeds, Anna thought, was of the geek variety, but Marsden seemed to be a disbeliever. That didn't make sense. Why would someone who didn't want to believe in magic become an agent of Cantrip? (chapter 7)
[Leslie Fisher to Jim Marsden]
'...It was your people, Cantrip analysts, who first alerted us -- that would be the FBI -- that the fae are sending out... a few individuals who have particularly nasty histories and letting them loose on the general population.' (chapter 8)
Humans weren't used to following the hierarchy of the pack, but it still worked on them. At least it worked on them when Charles was giving the orders. It wasn't magic. But there was a reason Charles was usually the most dominant in his world that was filled with dominant wolves. Even humans had that primitive brain that drill sergeants around the world tapped into, the part of the brain concerned with survival. That part heard an order and just obeyed. (chapter 10)
