Well let me start by saying this...I was really looking forward to reading this book. It has great potential as a story, but the book I read was a complete and total let down. The characters were flat and were completely unremarkable. I was unable to relate to any of them because they only had about one or two realistic moments and one or two is most definitely not enough for me. Second the writing was completely bland. I would read a sentence and another and another without any reactions from the other characters. It was like reading a script before the actors take it and make it come alive on stage. I mean just a little hint of facial expressions body language, something to indicate what the other person was feeling and not just their words. Also I felt like I was reading a questionnaire..Levi can I ask you a question, Levi can I ask you a question over and over again. And Charity 's response would always be the same "Wow....... or she would freak and have a melt down. Now my next issue. The author took no time in between plot twists. It was SPOLIERS ALERT LOOK AWAY IF YOU WITH TO READ bam Levi and his friends are werewolves, bam he wants to marry her, bam Wesley gets her, bam she saves her self, bam she stops a were fight (which was not a very well done scene. First you have werewolves snarling trying to kill each other and then BAM Charity magically gets them to do a complete turn around and leave the battle ground shaking hands psshh yeah that's believable) bam they are married and so on and so forth. It was like the author just wanted to get so much in but by the end of the book I was like she gets kidnapped again? Okay. There was no panic or suspense and it became boring. Then you look at all of the completely unrealistic relationships that don't develop, they just happen. Ashley, Levi 's parents, Ashley 's stepfather are all supporting characters, I get that, but they were all completely flat with no history nor reason for the majority of their actions and responses in this book. The only redeeming grace this book had for me was about four scenes with Levi and Charity and then again with Charity and Raven. I don't know if I will purchase the second book, I will have to see what other people say about it first.
