Conry
Cuando Willow y su madre se mudan de los áridos paisajes de Nuevo México a los densos bosques de Conry, Nueva York, dejan atrás algo más que su se adentran en un mundo lleno de secretos y seres sobrenaturales. Conry no es la típica ciudad pequeña; su población está dominada por hombres lobo, cada uno con sus propias historias ocultas y vidas complejas.
La madre de Willow es una humana común, pero su difunto padre portaba el gen del hombre lobo, un legado que le transmitió. Ahora, viviendo bajo el mismo techo que su tío hombre lobo, Willow lidia con el miedo y la incertidumbre de su propio gen de lobo inactivo mientras hace todo lo posible para protegerse de aquellos que desean activarlo por ella. A medida que navega por su nueva vida, forma un vínculo cercano con un chico local que está destinado a abrazar su propia transformación de hombre lobo.
Justo cuando Willow comienza a adaptarse a los extraordinarios desafíos de vivir entre hombres lobo y resistir a su propia bestia interior, un nuevo terror desciende sobre Conry, un wendigo, una criatura antigua y malévola con hambre de carne humana.
El viaje de Willow es uno de autodescubrimiento, amistad y supervivencia en un mundo donde la línea entre la humanidad y la monstruosidad es peligrosamente delgada. ¿Podrá mantener a raya a su lobo interior o tendrá que abrazar su verdadera naturaleza para proteger a sus seres queridos?

I'm still reading...but I'm confused. In the first part of the book, she says her name is I. But then it's Willow. The mysterious boy is first called Conall, and now it's Colin. Typos and grammatical errors. Not holding out a lot of hope here...
Update: Okay, I just finished it. Wow, that was just.... not good writing. At all. I think AI could have done a better job. I didn't mind the concept for the characters and plot (obviously werewolves/supernaturals have been done to oblivion). But there was just so little depth to anything. No richness. The writing felt like a high schooler trying to use big words to sound fancy.
Use some spellcheck. Have someone do some proofreading. One of the characters names was misspelled at one point. Come on. Don't be formulaic with every chapter ending. It was so forced.
I feel bad being so harsh, but this just was not good writing at all.
I won this as a Giveaway, but I'll be deleting it from my Kindle.

Who are Paula and Willow? Where is Rambler? Who is Rory, and why has Paula reached out to him? Who are Sam, Tammy, Jamie, and Lily? What warnings does Willow get from Colin and Rory? What happens when Willow goes hiking with Sam and the others? Oh my, so many things that were happening in this story kept me from putting it down for long, especially fighting Covid-19. I could not stop reading this first book in this genre. Enjoy the story.

Bought this book on Kindle and it was amazing. I found it was well worth the five stars. Make sure you download it on your Kindle ASAP.

I’d give it 1.5 but I rounded up since I got the book for free. Cute story but so many holes, confusing name switches and the occasional sentence that didn’t make sense.

Thank you to Goodreads for the free copy of this book, but I just couldn't do it. So many things that show the author didn't do research and so many inconsistencies that just made no sense.
- Cosmetology licenses don't transfer to NY. I know this from working in salons in NYS. It's a tedious process and typically requires going back to school. The mom couldn't have legally gotten a job as a hairstylist in any NYS salon with a New Mexico license
- I live in upstate NY just a little south of the Adirondack Mountains and have been to that area many times. September in the Adirondacks is NOT cold and frosty. It's still in the 70s or 80's. I mean, for sure cooler at night, but no where near frosty or cold.
- Who the fuck is Tammy? We've never heard of her and then she's just thrown in as someone the main character has become friends with.
- The main character's name... Her name is repeatedly established as I... and then suddenly it's Willow with no explanation??
-In the same paragraph "I couldn't break my promise to my uncle" ... "I decided to break my word to my uncle " Sure teenagers are wishy-washy but I found that ridiculous. It was like 2 sentences apart.
- Wolves in the Adirondacks were eliminated from the area in the 1800s due to hunting and loss of habitat. No one who lived in the area would just willingly believe wolves lived in the woods. I get that we immediately find out they're almost all werewolves. But it doesn't work as a cover story that there are already wolves in the woods.
- The guy's name was Conall and then suddenly it was Colin with no explanation
I am so sorry, I hate to rag on a book this way. But it was straight-up unreadable. Would give less than 1 star if possible.
