The werewolf’s identity reveal was lackluster because it was super obvious to anyone paying even just 50% attention to the previous book. The revelations about the Whisperer were much more interesting and I wish Winnie had spent more time diving into that lore. Without that twist, I would’ve firmly rated this somewhere in the 2 star range.
The third book isn’t out yet so maybe there will be a robust plot but I’m not holding my breath for it either. I’m pretty sure this could have been a duology and been stronger for it. There simply isn’t enough going on outside of Winnie’s teenage mood swings to justify three books.

There are still many mysteries and questions that needs solving, as slowly Winnie's family gets reintegrated into the wider community of Hemlock Falls.
What I truly loved where the woods surrounding Hemlock Falls, where ou never know who or what you might encounter when you enter into it. The mists add an additional layer of suspense and horror to the scenes within the woods.
And then there is the slow burn romance that has this big huge elephant in the room throughout the whole book and any reader knows from the beginning who the wolf is, and well, can it be said that at some point, the penny drops?
