** I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 4.5 starsGeneral: I loved this take on werewolves. Maybe it was that this isn’t an American author but the book felt like a fresh take on werewolves, despite being very similar to all werewolf novels. The world bulding and attention to detail was wonderfully woven in and I could picture an area of the world I have never read about before or seen even in photos.This novel was did a great job of weaving the paranormal with the romance and suspense. While I was fairly certain I knew he culprit about 5 chapters before it was revealed I liked that it did keep me on my toes and had wonderful mystery and suspense elements weaved in. I think my favorite element was we were offered a look right into the established lives of the characters.For me the downfall was it felt like there were things left unexplained and unanswered- don’t want to point them out because some are spoilers. I think they may have been intentionally left that way to create things for the rest of the series.Characters: Daciana- Daciana was a fun character who was very realistic. She was strong. Strong enough to leave her pack for love. Strong enough to handle the lies and deceit and even an accusation from Connell. But she was also flawed and seemed to realize when she made a mistake, something very real that doesn’t happen often. The females in these novels tend to get romanticized as perfect (aside from some tragedy in their past) more than the males so to have her so “human” was nice.Connell: Connell is sexy right off the bat between his name and his job lol. But seriously I found him to be well written but felt a little dispassionate. Perhaps some more of his initial time with Daciana would make their relationship more tense. I felt he was a little more married to his work, than to the relationship **they are not married**
