This was like a Twilight wanna be but with a focus on wolves.

I hated the characters.  Genuinely really couldn’t care about them.  Grace treated her friends and family like shit, all of her attention is on her wolf.  She is incapable of empathy apparently.  Sam is so whiny and nearly has insufferable as Grace.  And their romance was giving nothing, they was zero chemistry between them.

This review is totally biased. I read this book in middle school and I absolutely fell in love, so it's my comfort series. Is it objectively bad? Maybe, but it holds a place in my heart, just like Twilight. There was nothing more I wanted to do than avoid my problems and disappear into the golden wood like Grace. I mean... who wouldn't want a hot werewolf boyfriend to show up at your door? I love the imagery and prose, to be honest. I love the way the wolves communicate through mind pictures, and I thought their shape shifting being triggered by the heat was unique.
