I honestly have no idea what to say about this book. I really disliked it the first time I read it, but on reread I found it much more bearable. I still thought Bryce was an unlikable alphahole a lot of the time, but she grew a lot as the book went on. Hunt did as well. I found him less boring on reread than I did on my first read. Although I still maintain that he is at his best when he is separated from Bryce. I also have a theory that SJM is going to follow her formula and not have Hunt be the guy Bryce actually ends up with. Additionally, I think the background characters were all my favorites. I would totally read an entire 800 page book about Fury and Juniper, or Tharion, or Ruhn and his buddies.
