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.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: Duel, First Person

A very stoic book, of love pulling back and forth between two worlds. Heartbreaking and hurtful to read, wanting the change to be permanent so that they can be together forever.

I can’t be objective because this series was a favorite of mine as a teenager. It’s nostalgic and I grew up when traumatized artsy emo boys were heartthrobs 🤣

the perfect read for winter, very atmospheric. a pretty basic plot line but that makes sense for the age of the book (published in 2009). i am glad for the ending but not enough to keep reading the series
