Review: Disappointing waste of time
Rating: 1 out of 5

Looks like I am the odd man out again with ratings.  The story started out well but ended up being dragged down by glaring character and plot inconsistencies.  My eyes got a lot of rolling exercise with this one.SPOILERS  * * * * *Hero:  Everyone including himself keeps saying he is such an alpha but I have never seen an alpha as weak as this.  He could not make clear decisions and seemed to spend all of his time lying and dodging hard choices.  He could not stand up to his parents or his girlfriend and caved in to social pressure every time.  This is not what I call alpha behavior.Hero's parents:  They force the hero to stay with his girlfriend even though he does not want to be with her any more.  Why?  Even if they want him to stay away from a mutt like the heroine, the girlfriend's family is in disgrace so I don't know why any of the other "pure" blood females would not have done just as well.  They do not notice the hero is sick for a week when werewolves never get sick and the hero notes to himself that they are pretty sad parents.  Not long after that, the parents give hero's girlfriend's mother a lecture on bad parenting.  Huh.  Hilarious.True love:  Hero strings heroine along, lying to her, his girlfriend, his parents.  Finally ends up caving in to social pressure after wavering back and forth and dumps heroine.  Thereafter, they split and both get sick and discover they are soul mates.  All is forgiven.  Really?  This is romance?  Nothing about the hero being a weak, lying sack of sh** is resolved by being soul mates.  He is still a weak, lying sack of sh** who will cave at the next heavy situation.  Totally not someone to rely on.Disappointed that such a promising novel ended up being such a waste of my time.
