Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book was worth the slow agonizing wait - Agonizing because the characters are so vividly written, it is impossible not to bond with each one of them and love them. Much like the first book, the second focuses mainly on the relationships between each member, while the story is lost to all the emotional and ups and downs between the members of the pack. Normally, it would be a bad thing, but somehow E. Woods manages to make it feel authentic, despite the repetition in their feelings. After all, people don’t just miraculously overcome trauma in their lives with one soothing moment. Such things takes times, which only lends to the authenticity of each character - allowing for a sense of humanity and realness lost in a lot of books trying to make characters “badass.” My main concern is that there still leaves a LOT of ground to cover, story-wise, for the final book. If it takes 700 pages to cover three to four days, I worry the pacing of the final book will feel incredibly rushed. That, or it will end up being 1000+ pages long.. which I actually would not mind. Despite the slow pace - and my concerns for the final book - this is still highly recommended. It has set the bar for many of the Kindle Unlimited books, soaring above the competition, landing firmly in place with many of the famous paid book series, including Kate Daniels, Mercy Thompson, and even Kushiel’s Dart. With the author’s amazing ability to depict each emotion in detail, allowing the reading to feel the pain and laughter with the characters, this book will leave you emotionally connected with all the characters, even the ones you wouldn’t normally mesh with. Despite the 700 page length, it will go by in a blur as you greedily digest the emotions of each character. Masterfully done. Can’t wait for the third already.
