chrysfey's review
5.0
I was sucked into the story the moment a ghost was mentioned, which was page one. I've never read a book about shape-shifting werewolves before and I have to say . . . I enjoyed this very much! I liked the little things that made the characters believable such as catching scents and snarling.
Melissa Snark's writing is perfectly descriptive, offering great visuals of the characters and everything that happens. I could see the monster (the child thief), and Victoria's transformation into wolf in my mind. Her battle with the monster is vivid and gruesome. Just the way I like it! I know how hard it is to write fight scenes like that and thought Melissa did an exceptional job. I love, love, love tough heroines and Victoria is the definition of tough. I gladly rooted for her!
I wished for more of a back story to explain just what happened to Jack's son and her lover, and more details about the battle that killed her parents, but I didn't need those details to enjoy this story. I also know this story is a bit of a teaser for the sequel, which I can't wait to read!
