3 Stars
This was super decent but, not gonna lie, I felt a little lost.
The amazon blurb said, and I quote, "Although this is book #4 in the Werelock Evolution series timeline, it was written as a STANDALONE, so it is not necessary to have read the trilogy that precedes No Light."
Pfffffft.
Lies.
Lies, I tell you.
Sure, sure, I was able to amble along a little bit.
But, have you ever been to a party which - while fun - you are surrounded by people who seem to have endless inside jokes you just KNOW are going over your head?
Well, enter me at this partay.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it well enough.
It WAS about fated mate werewolves FFS sake, AKA Val's kryptonite (see what I did there? *wink*), but I definitely think I would have enjoyed it more had I listened to my gut and usual SOP (that's Standard Operating Procedure for those who are down with the 411 (that's info for those who aren't ancient enough to remember that little fun landline phone fact)) and read 1-3 first.
Dude, check OUT that^^^ level of Kristen Ashley parentheses.
Anybabble, I didn't adore the H. Something about him, I don't know.
Might still go back and try book one.
Toodles.

That superman GIF! 😂 Sorry it didn't work for you. Interesting & helpful feedback on the standalone aspect, though. Thanks for checking it out!

OMG! She went back to Gen X speak at the very least with the "411 & Land Line!" Going to go back and re-read the first 3 to refresh and then circle to this one. Thanks for the heads up!

This sums up how I felt! Like sure okay, could have been read as a stand-alone, but it's also like "by the way all these characters have all of this backstory central to the ENTIRE PLOT of this book but eh, no biggie"
And Alcaeus at least was called out on his hero complex but he was just... not my cup of tea, especially in the beginning of the book.
I completely agree with your review.

Thanks Chelsea!
Don’t you just hate it when they do that? It takes away the fun of reading a story….Still,great review!💞
I have saved your review with the parentheses rant to read when I need cheered up.
