I mean I would want to turn into a wolf with how melodramatic and unrealistic these characters are too

I have to say like the previous book, I found it very difficult to read. To me Sam, seems very whiny and a lil too emotional for me. Don't get me wrong the book is written amazingly. I just found it so hard to relate to the characters in this book. Well no actually let me take that back cause I do like Cole and Isabel (because they are so hard ass) - in contrast to Sam and Grace.
When everything started happening in the second half of the story, then it got interesting and then I couldn't put it down - I had to know what happened. The changing of the roles of the characters definitely change up the story, making it more interesting.
I don't really have much to say about this book cause at first I disliked it so much. But after reading it and having time to think before I write this review its fair to say that this book definitely changed my opinion on the whole series itself. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series so I can find out what happens to the characters in the end.
Happy Reading!

I always feel sorry for a second book as it can never be as good as the first. And this one wasn't as good but it's a damn close second. I love how she writes. And I really like the two main characters. The two side characters in this one are not as likable as the side characters in the first book so maybe that's where this one felt lacking vs the first. I'm definitely going to read the third book though. I wish she would write more with this story line as I hate to see the two main characters go.
Rating 5
Great sequel. I love the direction the story is taking.

So I liked this one better than the first but not by much. Sam was still kinda mopey and annoying. For 2 teens soooooooo in love they suck at communication. Just talk to each other and half the problems will be solved.
Cole was an interesting character. I'm still on the fence with him but by the end of the book I was more convinced. Though his band name was annoying. I know it was a play on narcotics but my brain kept reading it wrong.
Isabel was absolutely annoying. Yeah her brother is dead dead but could have been a little nicer to everyone around her. Like yeah Grace is dying but also let her and sam enjoy the recording and time together. Isabel comes with all this fire and drama but no help or answers. And I sure hope she doesnt like Sam. That's just going to bring way too much unnecessary drama to the next book. The hints to it were just dropped in throughout this book and didnt add to anything. Let her pine for Cole and call it a day.
While we are talking about cole and isabel I'm not found of how the author handles sex in her books. It is not this big sacred thing that everyone needs to save. Virginity is some stupid made up construct anyways. If someone wants to "throw" it away let them. There is nothing wrong with having sex because you're angry or hurt or any reason really. Don't make it sound like she will regret her choice. Maybe she will but then again maybe she wont. And then the whole punishing sam and grace because thats what her parents think is happening is just wrong too. Again there is nothing wrong with it. As long as protection and consent is used. That's what the author she focus on. Protection and consent rather than weird moral high ground stories and roundabout punishments.
She also should have spent more time explaining why her parents decided to actually be parents within Grace's last 5 months of not being an adult. Is it really just over the sex thing? Cause again I think that's irresponsible as an author and coming from parents.
But I digress, this one was far better than the first and now that grace is a wolf I'm going to have to read the 3rd. Fingers crossed cole and sam come up with some sort of solution that helps everyone have that perfect happy ending blah blah.
It was still hard to get through. I could put it down for days at a time and do other things. While it was interesting I didnt have this pull to finish and consume this book asap. Which is sad, that's my favorite part of reading.
