sabrinacamp's review against another edition

This was such an amazing book! (Obviously I couldn't put it down... I read it in one day.) The opening was amazing with Clare on her camping trip with her friends and them joking about her turning into a werewolf until she realize that was actually what was happening. Then that twist with her Uncle was amazing and quite a shock.
I really enjoyed that this book brought back characters from all over both series...referencing some other wolf packs, jaguars, and even the humans who are aware of this supernatural world too! I didn't even realize how much I missed Faith and Cameron and was so happy Faith finally had a female companion.
And maybe I just love the angst and tension...but I wish there was more drama between Owen and his friends fighting over the only single she wolf that they know of. Or at the very least I was hoping Candice would have kept her options open a little more... but then again, maybe as a romance author she wouldn't need to.

Good lord, this was just horrid. I don't understand it either. Terry Spear is well known. Lots of people enjoy her books. Hell, this series is 30 books long. Obviously, someone somewhere enjoys this sort of thing. But I was bored to tears.
The dialogue is stiff. The writing is dry as dust. It's SO tell heavy and everything is repeated, as characters do things and then tell people about doing things, or tell people they're going to do something and then do it, or think about doing something and then do it, etc. The love is instant and the romance is non-existent and basically comes down to her being the only available arctic wolf. Random things happen randomly. There are a ton of characters who pop up and then disappear just as suddenly. I assume they are only mentioned because they're cameos from other books (but they just felt disruptive here). And the book just went on and on and on.
Honestly, I would have DNFed this, for sure, had I not been reading it for a challenge and wanted to be able to count it. I think I need not ever read another Spear book.
