When I saw this book on Goodreads a few years ago, I was intrigued, so I was really excited to read it when I found it at the library. After finishing, I found that I really loved the plot, characters, and the series. A new series to be on my favorite series list. The plot had a little bit of Twilight feel to it whit a warewolf and a human girl who was in some sense a warewolf deep inside with the boy always trying to fight to stay in control and human. But it also had its own sense of style and When I saw this book on Goodreads a few years ago, I was intrigued, so I was really excited to read it when I found it at the library.

The plot had a little bit of Twilight feel to it whit a warewolf and a human girl who was in some sense a warewolf deep inside with the boy always trying to fight to stay in control and human. But it also had its own sense of style and unique plot twists to it. There was many things I liked about it. I liked how Grace and Sam got together at the beginng and their past history of him a wolf and her a girl. It made the book more romantic along with paranormal and hey had some really sweet moments which I loved. I loved the dual point of views and the temperature for each chapter let me know what both Sam and Grace were thinking and doing and how Sam was reacting to the weather. I also loved the twists and turns and bits of new information being revealed at surprising times. It was a fast paced, easy to read, action packed paranormal romance that I easily fell in love with. I loved the characters and how they were. Grace was great and despite the neglectful parents, she didn't let it get to her and lived life her way. She is also a pretty big reader and I was able to connect with her that way. She was intrigued with Sam and loved the wolfs instead of hating them and being disgusted by their acts. It could be because she is like them in a deep way, but it could also be that she feels they are human like and are warewolfs. I aloe loved Sam because despite being a warewolf, he was the sweetest guy ever. He was among to Grace and how he's always there for her, whether it's wolf or human, and always wanting to protect and save her makes him the perfect boyfriend. There were parts where I felt really bad for him like what his parents did to him and there are parts where he made me smile because of his surprises and acts. But they are a really great couple. Olivia was kinda good and I can't exactly relate to her but I was glad that she was happy in the end. Rachel didn't have a big part. But she was a great friend. Beck despite his previous acts that he feels really guilty about, he was a good guy and a great father to Sam. He was there for him and taught him everything. Jack, I just didn't like, but I did sorta feel bad for the guy. Isabel was okay and she did make me laugh with her sarcastic comments, but she was also heful and nice to Grace at times. So I really liked most of the characters and can't wait to read more of them in the next books. The ending was fantastic and I loved it. It was sweet and gave me enough interst to make me want to instantly read the next book. It was a perfect ending to warp up the book but also make me want to come back for more. Fantastic first book and I look forward to more books in the series and more books by this author. Enjoy!!!! ...more
