TW: abuse, r*pe, violence, murder
It's hard to rate this. I loved the whole series as a teenager and it has such a special place in my heart. But reading this as an adult changes my perspective to some extent. Some scenes were downright brutal and the pack dynamics especially were abusive. However, Kitty starts to realize this herself and escapes. Was some of the abuse necessary for the plot? Maybe not. But I've also read so much worse. For when it was written, it's tolerable. Kitty's wit makes it an enjoyable read. Gotta love her messed up sarcastic humor.
3.75/5*
