This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Honestly, I thought it was pretty draggy.
And another thing, I don't get the six year love across species thing either. Or maybe I'm just not romantic enough to understand how a wolf can fall in love with a human girl (sure he's part human half the year but during the other half, he's a wolf with wolf brain and all that) and how a human girl falls in love with a wolf that stalked her for the last six years (and remember, this one didn't know the other was actually human)?

Either way, I was tired ...more

This book ruined my Thursday. Put me in such a sour mood for all the bad reasons.
This was really not a book I wanted to read but just tried it as I was able to borrow it from a library downtown. So its not like Im going to say Im disappointed it didnt stand upto my expectations cause I didnt have any.
The writing style was just dragged on ,on unnecessary details . Its not like i dont like descriptions of the surroundings or stuff like that but theres a time when you need to stop right. Oh dont e This book ruined my Thursday. Put me in such a sour mood for all the bad reasons.

The writing style was just dragged on ,on unnecessary details . Its not like i dont like descriptions of the surroundings or stuff like that but theres a time when you need to stop right. Oh dont even get me started on the plot of the story it was pretty much just girl whos bored with her life cause her parents ignore her and I would really like to see parents like that. What the hell !!It just seemed like a sweet excuse for the writer to be able to form her story of Sam and Grace without having to think about unwanted elements right . Wow she didnt even have the creativity to find some other ways around and had to blame it all on Graces dumb parents. And excuse me can Grace get any annoying shes never Happy . She wants to be a werewolf all the friggin time even when they all say how horrible it is she still wants to be one. Grace girl you still need to get an education if thats what you are trying to escape. Lol. I mean seriously she goes like theres no point to school when her lifes like this. Really!! You cant be illiterate right. (Sigh.)Anyways the other main issue where on earth did the writer find such absurd facts(not) on werewolves. Being such an avid Fantasy fanatic pls dont even come close to try and explain that. It will never work . Ive read quite a few(loads) in fact on vampires and witches and werewolves and this is not even close its unbelievably immature and dumb.They change when its cold! They lose years become one forever they have no clue whats what once they become one. They get cured by Meningitis!!!!. Kill me already I died laughing .For a werewolf fanatsy fiction I rate this book a BIG 0. It was horribly childish but has all the makings of a Comedy.
Uggh i hate on any books you know I want to atleast like them but there goes no effort required. Worst book of its kind.Dont recommend it at all ...more
