STORY:
So I enjoyed the storyline and the concept of this book. There were a few positives and negatives but felt that it intrigued me enough to see what book two has to offer.

Demi’s family was banished years ago from wolf City. This in turn made her life hell, always attending schools where she isn’t amongst her own kind. Out of nowhere the Alpha’s son, from Wolf City, Sawyer, appears and gets a special invite to have her back in Wolf City to be a part of a selection of wolf women 18-22 vying to be his mate.

Demi’s character was likable, and I like knowing that she is a little different in her wolf form. Her coyness at times with Sawyer in the beginning have you cheering them on. She gives me strong but is still always unsure. Sawyer was appealing from the start. It was apparent from the beginning how he felt about Demi and love, watching the way he was protective of her while still having his duty with all these competing females wanting to mate and wed the soon-to-be Alpha. It was a nice addition seeing that there were other creatures, like vamps that were not for the wolves and vice versa that causes conflict. Also, the reason why Demi’s mother was banished was like a what in the soap opera universe is going on?

Why it was 3.5 stars, I am realizing a pet peeve for me is reading YA books that aren’t playing their parts or position in regard to character and scenery. I came with the mindset of 21 year olds in college, but Demi and Sawyer read like they were 17 in high school. They didn’t come off as grown to me. Throughout the book, I kept forgetting they were 21. Also, the cliffhanger, come on, this definitely could have been a one shot deal, and then we could have a story in book two with Sawyer’s cousin and best friend. The conflict that causes the cliffhanger received an eye roll.



SEXUAL CHEMISTRY:
For 21 year olds, their sex scene was ok. I felt it could have been more, especially with that awesome connection they had.



SECONDARY CHARACTERS:
Sage - Sawyer’s cousin. So loving her in this story. I don’t know what’s to come in book 2 and 3 but she needs a book.

Walsh - Sawyer’s best friend. Really need to see what can blossom between him and Sage.

Raven - Demi’s best friend from Delphi Uni. Clearly she isn’t a shifter but want more of her.



OVERALL
I enjoyed the story with a few buts. The book isn’t dark but still gave it a 1/5 for dark level as the rape was not shown but it is talked about a lot due to what surrounds that act that will later affect Demi.


✰✰TRIGGERS: rape


****I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read. I based my book reviews on my preferences and what I like, and while these preferences may not be the same for others, I hope this review was still helpful.
