A review by alienclans
The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis

4.0

I somehow misunderstood what this book was about. I'll be honest, I don't actually read most synopses. I usually skim them or just read the first sentence. I don't read or write summary heavy reviews either but now I might start because I don't want to make this mistake again. My point is that I would not have read this had I known it was about a trapper. Yes, I know that it clearly says it in the description here on Goodreads. I don't know how I missed it but I do know that I don't like reading this sort of content. I just like wolves and wanted a story that was related to wolves. However, this was actually good, despite the fact that wolves were barely in it and I found most of the book disgusting. I had to see how it would all end for Elka. She's the sort of character you really root for. She's been in a bad situation and she's doing everything she can to get out of it. I liked her best when she was on her own in the forest but the scenes in town with Penelope were still entertaining. My major complaint was her accent. It took me 50 pages to get used to it but I was annoyed with it again by 150. It's just so tiring to read.

I'm giving it four stars because it was engaging but I don't recommend it to anyone who is as repulsed by hunting as I am. Some of those scenes are going to haunt me.
