It's not really good but it breaks the stereotypes, which is pretty nice to see in a story of werewolves.

I loved the idea: Female leaders (GO FEMINISM!). Sadly, the story lacked emotion and action. Or was the emotional part when she founds who Gage is? Because, I don't really think that's very interesting.

I didn't fell in love with any of the characters, and I always do that. I didn't get the chance to know any of the boys because all she cared was Gage Gage Gage.

If you are looking for a werewolf story but you want a break from all those of "My Mate and I" or "How I Became a Furry Dog" you should read this book.

Favorite Character: Reuben

Favorite Quote:
“I’m Jed Flannigan,” he inserted quickly.

              “Jed?”

              “Yep. Like Jedi, without the I.”

'WOW' was my first thought once I finished Willow. I was already thinking "When does book 2 come out?" Amy's world of werewolves had me hooked from the start. Willow was a great lead character and I enjoyed following her and watching as she grew. After the first chapter I had abandoned everything for the day just to read one more chapter....and then one more....until I had finished the entire thing in one sitting!! Without giving away too much I loved the role her females play - what woman wouldn't want several men to obey their every whim? The story line was great and easy to follow with enough to leave you asking questions...and of course salivating for more! Five stars? Pshh I say TEN!

Now this book is a great little read. It is 276 pages of non-stop fun. By the time I had finished reading the first chapter I just had to keep reading and before I knew it poof it was done.

I won’t go into ANY story details other than what the blurb says. Willow is a werewolf, and an unhappy one at that. She didn’t want to move, she doesn’t want a pack of her own and she sure doesn’t want to be a werewolf at all. This book is a definite coming of age story. Willow discovers that not only does she enjoy being a wolf but that she likes being pack-leader. But this coming of age doesn’t come without quite a few bumps along the way.

The twists and turns the book take make you say okay what the heck, then when the story continues and shhhh can’t tell you but trust me you will go okay seriously are you really serious!

Personally I can say I loved the character of Willow, I mean who the heck wouldn’t want to be in charge of men and have them have to obey you? This story is a fun read and it’s very easy to follow. It’s great for the young adult or even younger or heck older too. I for one will be waiting patiently for the next book in this fabulous series.

The book begins with Willow being told she is the new ruler of a pack. She is only seventeen and just trying to be normal, and now she has to deal with a whole pack. Things start to get a little strange when she deals with all of the problems this pack has now.

I don't have a lot to say about this book except I just didn't get it. I dnf this one. I got about 80 percent of the way through and just decided enough was enough. I felt like nothing was explained right. And Willow didn't really act like a leader at all, Gage did. I really just didn't understand anything in the book either. This one was not for me.

I loved how this book showed a different hierarchy than traditional werewolf books. In this series, females are the pack leaders. Yay for female empowerment! After a certain age, all female werewolves must leave the pack they grew up in and take over as the leader of a new pack or be a lone wolf. Willow has never wanted to be a pack leader, but after some circumstances arise, she is forced to be the new leader of the pack in the area she just moved to. I wish there was a little bit more detail about pack structure and mates. Seeing as this is an untraditional structure for werewolf novels, it would have made it a little easier to understand. At first, I did not like Willow with Gage, and instead thought she would end up with Rueben or Jed (I was secretly hoping it would be Rueben). After I while, I started really liking Gage. When Gage got really weird about Willow asking him what his real name was, I knew that he had to be either Mikhaul or Maddox. My guess was right in the end. The ending of the book I did not see coming, but I'm very happy at how it ended. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Rating: 4.5 Stars

Es una buena historia aún sí la trama tiene algunos problemas en su desarrollo. Me encanto la premisa de una mujer como líder de la manada. Lamento que la historia de Willow no esté muy bien contada (hay muchos agujeros negros en su pasado).
Muy tierna la historia entre ella y Gage aún cuando era obvio quién era él en realidad. En resumen, una gran historia que pudo haber sido aún mejor...
