Untamed by S. C. Stephens
2.0
I'm pretty saddened that I didn't love this book. Griffin was (oddly) my favorite part of the Thoughtless series, so I assumed I'd LOVE his story.
It was not to be.
I struggled even getting into the story, and not for lack of trying. Several times I'd put Untamed down and try something else, thinking maybe I was in a reading funk. But I managed to finish other books just fine.
The issues? Maybe because this version of Griffin was insanely unlikable? Yes, he was always cocky, but that had always been part of his charm. This was something else entirely. He came across as an immature douche bag - for lack of a better descriptor.
Also, the story drags. And the old characters we love (and love to hate) were disappointing, too. Maybe it would've been better left unwritten, or even as a novella filled with babies.
