A review by tarah
Autumn by Sierra Dean
4.0
I received this book as a DRC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Actual Rating: 4.5/5
Oh boy - this was awesome. I had to put the book down for awhile because of school but this is the kind of book you can finish in one sitting and probably will want to finish it ASAP but I finished the majority of it within a few hours.
I'm really big into typical supernatural (werewolves and vampires specifically) creatures done in different ways and that's what Sierra Dean did here. The Reynolds boys turn into coyotes on their 18th birthday and are incapable of turning back which sets the stage for Cooper's story.
Then we've got Lou who has just moved to Poisonfoot, her father's hometown, and weird things start happening. She meets Cooper and as one can imagine, the two like each other, despite warnings for Lou to keep her distance.
Both of the characters are witty beyond belief and I love me some witty characters. Lou and Cooper's interactions are believable and their romance is so compelling. Sierra Dean's style reeled me in immediately and didn't let me go until I finished the book. It wasn't a long read at all and when it was over (I finished it a few hours ago) I had to jump online to see if the next book was out yet. Unfortunately, it's not.
There's a lot going on behind the scenes of Poisonfoot that we don't come to find out until the last fourth of the book so that was when the supernatural/paranormal aspect got really interesting. There are so many different levels of this story that are twined together that, frankly, I have no idea where the story's going to go. I thought for awhile I had an idea but I was mistaken, something I was happy about because the book took an entirely different route than I expected and ended with a bang, almost literally. Honestly though, that cliffhanger...
