I really like this book! The premise is fun and the characters are likeable. Shiori never read as a "not like other girls" which happens a lot for YA protags I feel, but she was fun! I liked the brothers too even though I was afraid I wouldn't and they would drag the story down.

The story kept me on my toes and I was trying to figure out what was going on with Shiori it was fun! Some stuff felt a little too fast-paced (especially towards the end) but I will withold my final thoughts on pacing until I read the 2nd book. Some ends felt a little too quickly and neatly tied up, but I understand handwaving some of that stuff so the book isn't too dark.

Maybe spoilers, I didn't really like the Wolf and felt everything regarding them felt a little thrown together?
