Review: I read this book in one day
Rating: 4 out of 5

The writing style was really easy to read and follow; consequently I read this book in one day. For me I enjoyed the overall story but it felt a little rushed in some parts -- that more time should have been spent on areas towards the end of the book which were part of the overall plot development. I don't know if this was due to the writer trying to wrap things up quickly or editors trying to keep the book within a certain number of pages. Whichever it was, it left the reader with the feeling these areas felt a little glossed over. For that reason, this is more of a 3.75 star book for me.Gone with the Wolf had a really strong opening with an entertaining way the lead characters meet. I thought the premise of a "Luminary" was unique and innovative. The book also alludes to other plot issues such as Drake's parents and their histories along with the way the pack is run to make the reader want to continue reading the series to find the answers. I enjoyed the fact that Emelia Hudson was strong woman, but for my taste she was a little flakey. However, I think she was a very believable character.This is a strong first book of the series and I am interested in more from the same. One of the side characters, Logan, really piqued my interest and I hope to see him more in the upcoming books. All of the characters who were introduced in this book whether in name/memory or in person were interesting.
