Wow! This book is amazing. We meet Michelle who is just like Gabby from Hope(less). She has been held captive for 4 years with her brothers. She finally breaks free and runs with her brothers not knowing where they will go. When they stop at a restaurant to eat Michelle feels this pull to this guy in there who we later get to know as Emmitt. We see Michelle grow to love werewolves. I was so happy by how much she had grown by the end and finally decided she should be happy instead of scared. I can't wait to read the next one and see how all the girls are matching up.

this book was slightly different than the first one they the author used a little bit more insta attraction but once again the attraction was denied to focus on the current fears and dangers that were Larkin I like how the male character was attracted to her but so considerate of her heart like that's more important than any desire that he had I did feel a little frustrated a few times that she should have trusted them a little earlier but overall the story was pretty good I also read the companion book to this and I found that kind of annoying there wasn't enough of his perspective to outweigh the repetitiveness of repeating the whole story through his perspective but there just wasn't enough of his perspective to really make it worth it I kind of stopped at like 80% I hope I didn't miss anything important moving on to the next one

Absolutely loved it, just wish for more adult content. These read like a young adult book, heck they may be young adult. I'm seriously into this series though, this being the second. The characters are so great! More to come....

I felt like this should have been book #1 instead of 2. I like that the story is still developing but I wish I knew what happened to luke! Maybe that's the next book. I Really like the characters in these books. On to book 3.

I love this series and Michelle’s story is another great addition. This book is set in kind of the same timeline as the first book and it fills in some blanks about the other side. I love how strong Michelle is when faced with what she’s been through and how protective and loving she is with her brothers. I also love watching her confidence in herself and her relationship with Emmitt grow through out this book! They are so perfect together!

Great
This was the second in the series but felt more like the first. It is happening before and during Gabbys story which is kind of confusing. I love these so far and cannot wait to see where the story goes and how the girls will all work together.
If by love dates mates and compelling interwoven but independent stories I highly suggest this series!

So I started the series wrong. I read clays version first and really didn't like it. Then I discovered they were the same series from different perspectives so I switched and read this one. Im really glad I did. I loves the main characters, especially Emmitt. It was well written with good drama and growth of the characters. I dont quite understand why this was book 2 instead of book 1 as it makes a lot of things from book 1 make more sense.
I hope to see more or Michelle and Emmitt, i liked them way better then Gabby.

After reading Hope(less) a couple of months ago, I was really excited to see where this series went. I knew this book would be about someone else, but I was too intrigued by this world to not continue. I'm definitely glad I stuck with the series, because this sequel was just as good as it's predecessor.
Michelle was a great heroine. I felt really sorry for her because she was deprived of so many small things that are taken for granted, but I also thought she was really smart and responsible. As a teen, she had to do the best she could to take care of her brothers, and her love for them was really evident. It was the deciding factor in every decision she made. I never really got annoyed with her, even when she wasn't so trustful of Emmitt, since her life had been such a mess beforehand.
Speaking of Emmitt, I thought he was perfect for Michelle. Where in Hope(less) I loved Clay because he let his actions speak for him, I loved Emmitt because he said the right things to Michelle. I loved how he told her what she wanted to know, and that he didn't want to lie to her. I thought that he was such a good balance for Michelle, because he taught her how to do more than just worry, and she definitely needed that.
The side characters in this story were great, as well. I loved Jim, and thought his teasing and humorous ways were wonderful. I also loved Nana, because not only was she a great grandmotherly-like figure, but she was also strong and kind. I loved Michelle's brothers, as well. I was the most sad for them, because Michelle was all they knew as a parent, and they'd been locked up in their house for pretty much their whole lives.
Speaking of which, the plot was really interesting. It involved Michelle escaping from her captor Blake, with her brothers. Upon escaping, she met Emmitt, and things took off from there. I loved watching Emmitt and Michelle grow closer. I thought it was such a wonderfully developed story. I appreciated that Michelle's issues with trust weren't immediately swept away upon her meeting with Emmitt, and I loved how things progressed in general.
Overall, this was a very worthy sequel to Hope(less). While this is a standalone, it's in the same world. It expanded upon the world-building begun in the first novel, and after the ending of this book, I can't wait to see what happens next.

As always, I enjoyed the slow-building romance between the MCs—still couldn’t beat Gabby+Clay’s romance though;)
But, plot-wise, I prefer this one than the first since we got to explore more about the werewolves’ world. And the explanation of Gabby’s ability was more confusing than Michelle’s.
