The writing was a bit repetitive at times but otherwise, it was fine. I expect werewolf romances to be quick-paced-you know, “fated mates” or whatever-but the melodrama was ludicrous. The sun can’t shine, the birds can’t chirp, you’re left in a gray wasteland of nothingness.I just want you keep in mind that Elizabeth has known Abraham for a little over a week at this point. It takes all you have just to get through the day….None of the days’s events sinking in or even mattering because nothing can matter without him. You don’t feel sad, you can’t feel happy, you feel nothing. After living with that pain for so long, you eventually become numb. Like as you toss and turn all night, seeking even a few minutes of reprieve from the misery. The agony becomes a sick friend, something that keeps you company in the loneliest of times.

It hurts so bad you feel like you’ll never not be in pain. Your whole body hurts from the inside out. Missing Abraham was like developing hypothermia…First, it’s painful. Well there are two more books so clearly she survives.Īaaaaaaand my least favorite trope of all time: insta-love. “You might die, Elizabeth.” Everyone says. "Oh no, bitten wolves almost never survive the shift.” Everyone says. What happened to trying to find the evil werewolf that’s been MURDERING WOMEN IN THE WOODS?! Why is Elizabeth being mad at Abraham for lying to her more pressing than that?Īlso it eventually became pretty obvious that the story intended to drag out one particular aspect of the plot for as long as possible it was irritating and pointless. The main conflict that’s set up in the first 20% is dropped completely for another less interesting, contrived conflict and it was real annoying having to sit through that. This entire story takes place over the course of a month and somehow the pacing is outrageously slow. The potential abruptly disappearing from the novel.
