A beautiful story of found family, revenge and danger. Wolves and humans, pack and loss. 
Trigger warnings for violence, child abuse and blood.

It was way too dark for me so I skimmed and skipped through the last third or so. Should have checked the content warnings, but I was in a bricks and mortar shop and I loved *Under the Whispering Door* and *House in the Cerulean Sea* so didn't think to look it up online. I can't cope with child torture, or parent/child death, or grief. Too dark. Especially after how hard I was laughing at Joe stammering about mounting.

I got into reading TJ klune books and this definitely was not what I expected. After reading two of his other books this is more darker with a lot more heavier topics. I personally didn't mind it at first until

the age gap, ox was 16 when Joe was 11. Ox felt sexually towards him while Joe was only 17. It really made me not like it. Especially during scenes where ox would have to defend it by saying he is almost 18.

also personally the whole wolf thing made me giggle like scenes I couldn't take seriously when they mentioned alpha or mating. I loved how the emotions were written, grief is a tough thing to express beautifully, it's bitter and cruel and the book shows it in such a wonderful way. I don't know if I'll continue reading the series but it wasn't that bad. However there was a lot of repetition of words and phrases and certain times they just wouldn't stop apologising as well. If you're into werewolf things I guess you could read it but definitely not the book I would recommend.

Friends, I stayed up until 1am last night to finish this book. I just couldn't put it down! I'm supposed to be reading sections for a buddy read, but obviously I read way ahead. The characters and the emotions in this just hit hard. I loved them so much. Honestly, I can't wait to read the rest of this series!
