First let me say, I’ve read my fair share of werewolf books and they haven’t impressed me. I signed up for this ARC because I was intrigued by the author. A book written by a real princess? I couldn’t pass that up. Pair that with a refreshing storyline and a YA book that’s written from a male perspective, and you have an extraordinary read.Audouin-Mamikonian keeps you on the edge of your seat with this book. From power struggles to bittersweet love, this story captivates you. As the grandson of one of the most prominent members of the werewolf community, Indian Teller grows up an outcast in a power hungry world, because he is a mere human living amongst strong and powerful wolves. After being picked on for years, he befriends a semi-werewolf (what we believed to be normal werewolves) who trains Indiana to defend himself.Strange events start to happen the moment Indian steps out of the security of the werewolf ranch. The people he loves are in peril and he finds out he inherited something mysterious from his mother. So mysterious, that if anyone found out, his own life will be in more danger than he initially thought it was.We see two groups of the same race come to odds with each other and two unlikely races banding together. It’s fast-paced and mesmerizing and the trace of forbidden love makes the story so much more compelling. The saying goes that nice guys always finish last, which is completely wrong in this case. The ending did leave me wanting, but not in a bad way. I’m looking forward to reading more of Indiana Teller and all the tragedy that is sure to come.
