3 Cranky Stars


I usually love books about werewolves and vampires. However, this book just doesn’t do it for me. The story line would be good if the author didn’t try to jam so many characters into it. She needed to spend more time on introducing Mya to a werewolf life. Here is a twenty-one year old girl who has never heard of werewolves when she is rescued, turns for the first time and mates with the alpha all in 24 hours. If I was that girl, I’d be terrified.


She is then dragged off to Toronto because the Alpha’s brother has disappeared. Suddenly we have vampires and rogue weres in the storyline with no real character building being done. I found it too confusing and frustrating to follow.


In the Prologue, the author states that this book is full of erotica and not for teenagers. She is right. However, the erotica is also part of the problem with this story. The main characters have no control over themselves which makes parts of the storyline absurd. This book would have been much better if the author had confined herself to the story of Mya finding out she is a werewolf, joining the pack and finding out about her past. The sex was not needed to this degree and the other storyline- the search for the brother could have been a small note to lead to book 2.
