A beautiful and simple presentation of love. If someone were to ask me to sum up this book in a matter of five words, they would be words along the lines of "cute" and "pure" and "lovely". I just got this warm and fuzzy feeling in my stomach every time I opened this book. It's just beautiful and sweet and...god, I sound so mushy. Just read the damn book, okay?

Bardzo średnie tłumaczenie i taka sobie historia, ot, młodzieżowy romansik. Można przeczytać na zastój czytelniczy.

I read this series after the urging of my best friend; who is obsessed with wolves and probably a little biased to it. I read this series over a vacation in the White Mountains, in a snowy setting similar to the book. I am writing this review a year or two after reading this book. I barely remember the plot, and that shows me just how interesting i thought it was. From what I do remember, I was complaining to my mom about how the book was boring. And how I was hoping it would get better. And why I had wasted my money on the whole series before I read it. I believe the only reason it has three stars is that I don't like giving bad reviews. But, ok. Onto the book.

I just read the summary of the book. Oh my god. I might just have to bring my rating down a star. I mean, really? Maybe its not my style, but a girl attacked by wolves when she was little, and forming an attachment to one with yellow eyes, and thinking about it her whole life. Let me just take a moment here and say, do any female characters in books have lives? I mean really, would any person just reminisce about something that happened to them when they little for their whole life? I mean, she sees him sometimes in her yard, but come on. If I saw the same wolf in my yard multiple times I would think I'm hallucinating. It's just so...... cheesy. I feel like I've heard the story before. Ok, moving on.

Is it sad the only part I remembered about this book through these years was the fact Isabel jogged, and it gave her great legs? Yeahhhh.....

Oh yeah. The fact they turn wolf-y with cold. That sounds so original. Oh no, its starting to (insert weather/time of day), you have to leave me! I can think of at least 3 other books where that happens.

Yup. And injecting fricking menangitis in the will give them a fever and make them stay human. That totally sounds legit.

Ok, I honestly do not care about this book to go on more. Or review the others. Why am I here again?

I don’t know what it is about this book but I just can’t get into it at all. I’m just bored reading it and would rather be reading the Raven Cycle than this.

Maybe I’ll give this series another shot in the future but for now I’m throwing in the towel.

I think that this new view of werewolves is facsinating
