Review: Warning:  Cliffhanger Ahead
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 16, 2014
The first book in this series, Winter Wolf, was a free download and a wonderful book.  So when I heard this book was out, continuing Axton and Leander's story, of course I jumped on it.  While I didn't read it in one sitting it kept and held my interest.I had my doubts when Winter Wolf ended that Axton and Leander's relationship would work.  Their romance was too new and they lived apart.  Even harder when Axton is a wolf and Lee a human.So City Wolf:  Werewolf Romance Goes to Town continues where Winter Wolf left off.  As the title suggests, Axton goes to town and the romance continues.  Their relationship expands to include the people in Leander's life.  The visit is a success in so many ways.  Axton learns what it's like to become family.But as in every happy ever after there's a hitch and this one ends on a cliff hanger.  Typically I downgrade books that end like this. . . Because a cliff is a gimmick and I hate them with a passion.  The problem with it is authors may take a year to write the continuing book.  This isn't like a weekly TV show where we get relief in days.  No.  So I always ask myself if a series or an author is worth the wait.  Since I just finished this story, I haven't made up my mind.  I do know I'll be reading hundred's of books before this story continues.  So this book will be competing against my other reading interests and I do know I won't just jump in with an instant buy.  Instead I'll wait and see what others think.So back to the story:The ending was harsh, emotionally taxing, and with no hope of a positive outcome.  I was not happy.  I am still not happy.  I can see so many ways to continue this story and all of them are harsh if not tragic.  It's going to take months if not a year for Leander to mend - If he does mend.  And then there's his emotional stability.  And what about Axton?I am giving this story a 5 stars because it is well written, the characters are deeply drawn, a few typos but I don't downgrade on those. But cliffhangers.  This time is a pass on that because everything else was well done.  But I really hate cliffhangers and don't respect authors that use that gimmick.  Not if they want to keep their readership. -- Dan's Wife
