I read Hope(less), the first book in the Judgment of the Six Trilogy, last week. At first, I thought Hope(less) was kind of slow, because there was too much explanation about werewolves. But as I continued reading Hope(less), I fell in love with the characters, the story, and Gabby's situation. I was glad for the explanations.So I was primed for (Mis)Fortune, and fell in love with Michelle's story right away. A young, mistreated, and gifted heroine runs away from her captor and runs into a cool guy named Emmit. And then she meets his family, and the story just explodes with marvelous detail and wonderful dialogue. I love Emmit's family; they are well developed characters, interesting. They make me wish that they were real (I love when that happens). It means I'm invested in the story and want to read more.Usually, I love vampires more than werewolves, but in this case I'm a werewolf hag.I love Melissa Haag's werewolf society. I love that I still don't know a lot about this society. And I know less about Michelle's gifts (and Gabby's also). What the heck is going on? I want to know more. Nope, I need to know more.Did I mention that Emmit is hot?And that he likes Michelle.A lot.Michelle has her secrets, but so does Emmit.And the air between these two sizzles like bacon cooking on a hot frying pan.Best of all, (Mis)Fortune builds on the story in Hope(less), making me sure that all of my questions will be answered.Do I love these stories?You bet.Am I panting for number three?Yeah baby!(Mis)Fortune is a fun, interesting story that kept my attention from the first to the last page.4.5 stars, out of 5.
