2.0


 
Likes: the snarky sarcastic banter between the two main characters, the plot premise, the fact that the author, Terry Spear, spent time researching and observing real wolves before writing this novel, and the discussion of zoo benefits and harm to wolves and animals in general. 
 
Dislikes: Too many sexual scenes, little to no character development, and really poor communication between the two main characters about their emotions and feelings for each other. 
 
Confusions: Why are there so few or nearly no female wolves, particularly red wolves? 
Why is the prologue set in 1980 and the rest of the novel set 150 years after? 
Why don't the two major characters finally figure out how to effectively convey their emotions and feelings for one another? 
How come the two main characters do not recognize sooner that they are meant to be together when it is evident to everyone but them? 
How did the two major characters travel 150 years without seeing one other while they were so near in terms of location? 
 
Overall, the book was decent, but the dislikes, particularly the more smut than storyline and character development, made it tough to read. I will not continue with this series.
