This book was enjoyment. At
first I was wary, tempted to pass over this book just because it has the
much-done hot guy-as-werewolf theme. But I’ve learned not to judge a
book by its blurb, and I’m glad I gave it a chance.
The
thing which really kept this story afloat for me was how it made me
feel while reading it. You can’t help but smiling at some parts yet
feeling helpless alongside Scout.
I really love a book that makes you feel stuff.
Tammy Blackwell obviously has a good inner voice. The dialogue throughout the book was just greatness, the book was kept flowing with lots of amusing and playful moments. This meant it wasn’t toeing the line of boringness which a lot of books do because of their seriousness and keeping single tracked.
Although fast-paced, I think Blackwell managed to interlace the wolfy aspects nicely within the story.
Your interest is kept throughout as you store up a bunch of questions you want answered about the whole Shifters situation, but Blackwell cleverly leaves you with unanswered queries.
There is a love triangle involved in this story, but it isn’t typical. In fact, I like how realistic Scout was in the whole situation plus decision making. As the book didn’t hinge on the whole aspect of who Scout was going to choose, you were left to enjoy the actual storyline of the Shifters.
Scout and Alex are just very gorgeous together. I mean, really, who can resist a guy with flashy dimples? Their relationship wasn’t smooth sailing with was quite refreshing, considering most paranormal romance books these days have the automatic soulmateshipness. So it gave you the chance to know and love both Alex and Scout, even Scout’s pesky little sister grows on you!
Now for the ending. It has one of those love-or-hate cliff-hangers, which I didn’t mind in this case.
Blackwell leaves you with just the right taste in your mouth for wanting more.
Although rushed in places, I think this storyline has enough originality and so it lingers with you. It’s well built-up to the sequel, having introduced lots of aspects like with the Seers and Alex’s mysterious background, so there’s plenty to muse over after you’ve turned the last page.
