*was given a copy from the author in exchange for my honest opinions*Some of this was reviewed while I was reading, so it might be a bit jumbled haha.First off I get that sometimes parents are strict, real strict but for god’s sake she 22! You’re yelling at her for being pregnant as if she’s 16! At least she’s out of her teens, that should count for something! (Spoil Alert) And the father was a one night stand, she doesn’t even remember so shouldn’t you have some sympathy for her? (End of spoil alert).Maybe it’s just me, but that scene just felt so off. Yes, I get that they made rules but still. I don’t know I could be wrong, as one of my working in projects my main girl is pregnant and her mother yelled at her, but then again her mother didn’t want her to end up like her and her family’s reputation. And my character is 19, so there’s clearly a difference here. We’ll just have to see where this goes.I saw where this went and all I’ve got to say is, huh….huh in like, this didn’t satisfy me and I’m wondering what happened when it came to the writing style. Plus I feel like I’m questioning things even though I understood everything that went on in the book.Let’s talk about the first, huh. What little did satisfy me was the werewolf aspect, how it’s pure wolves against non-pure wolves, and I enjoyed the history of how the pure wolves came to be. I also liked how the werewolf aspect unfolded but other than those, I wasn’t very satisfied.I wasn’t a big fan of Meara’s voice. At first I was okay with the little childish take as her and her friends were going out to party and get drunk on Green Beer Day. But as we got deeper into the book, I hoped her voice would change however it never did. So I never was able to care about her like I should have. I mean, stop whining that you may not have been good in bed, it was you first time you’re not supposed to be good! Especially if it’s with a stranger! Now if it was with someone you loved, yeah it’ll be awkward at first but once you get past the barrier all is good.Wow this is going to be a long review, haha….Now onto the other problem I had, the writing. It wasn’t bad, needed some edits for sure but my major problem with it was the point of views. I don’t mind that there’s quite a few but I do mind when you shift the point of views from first person to third person. Meara, our main gal, her point of view was always in first person but when we shifted to a secondary character their point of view was in third person. This shift didn’t feel natural to me, I don’t see this happening a lot. And then what was even more unnatural for me was during the third person view some words would change it to first person view, like it didn’t know what view it wanted to be! For example the word “myself” would be said and throw off the balance of the third person view. So again, I feel like this needs a few more rounds of edits.Lastly I want to talk about the random sex scene. Maybe it wasn’t completely random to other people but for me, it was. Plus, it was so uncomfortable! Though yeah I got a little hot towards it but that’s only cause when I read those scenes my mind goes straight to the love of my life. Other than that, it was completely uncomfortable and my mind was like “WTF, just happened?!” The guy was possessive and totally cheating by using his wolf powers on one of our secondary characters. It was uncomfortable for me because she didn’t totally say yes on her own, like I said the guy used his powers against her. She was a virgin and he pretty much forced her to say yes even though she had no idea what was truly happening, but I did so I wasn’t a fan. You get where I’m coming from?Overall, this was interesting and I’m curious on where this goes as the ending had a major twist, though I’m not dying to read the sequel. There’s just too many problems for me to be craving for the next one. *shrugs* we’ll just have to see.
