Nicely written

But I only give it four stars because it's like an advertisement, and I'm not appreciative of that. If you're going to put a series even one book on Amazon Kindle is a whole thing should be here instead of advertising to go to another subscription. I had Galatea at one time before, and it was extremely expensive and I can't afford it. I read a lot! But Galatea is annoyingly expensive and frustrating and I don't need the frustration. I wish you luck!

Bought it on Kindle for $5 since it would be cheaper paying per chapter on Galatea. Turns out it’s only half of book 1 and I thought it was the whole thing. Guess that’s what part 1 means. I will say you get all of the books for free on Galatea from a link provided inside the book. Not the most well written and Belle gets on my nerves but a fun little read. I will most likely finish it on Galatea as I’m invested as to where the store will go from here.

Omg this book was so addictively good! I started it from a Galatea ad within one of my phones games. It was so good I decided to download the Galatea app to continue. I didn’t want to pay for a Galatea subscription so I bought the book on Amazon kindle, but it wasn’t the full book. However, it did provide links to read the rest on Galatea for free.

I was so invested that I couldn’t stop reading. Belle got on my nerves sometimes, but I loved it nonetheless.

Yep you read that right, I devoured this book in one day!

Reading this reminded me of my days on Wattpad and reading the most craziest things at an age I defiantly shouldn't have been reading that kind of stuff.. IYKYK.

I love these types of books so much, an easy read, complete tension the whole way through. The plot twist really twisted me because it was so effed up I was so excited for it to be over.

If you want a wholesome situation between a werewolf and a human this book is for you.

But I did fall for it, after years of never being able to finish books on Galatea. I fell for the subscription and paid for it.... AHHHHH. But look now I have endless books for a year

This is the first book I started reading and I can’t get enough. The pacing is spot on, characters are beautifully written, and I’ve cried several times (so grab those Kleenex). This is definitely one of those “just one more chapters” kind of read. Annie Whipple brings to life this incredible story.

confusing

… seriously not great … the Galatea books are heavily advertised but poorly written. This is no different, the female lead is all over the place, there is almost no character development for the male lead.
