I was hoping this would be a light love story adventure. It's not. It's very dark, yes love story but with lots of twists and turns and scary terrifying characters, deaths and some intense detailed sex scenes. 

Very very adult werewolf book, don't let the cover mislead you.

That said it's a good story but there is  kidnapping, a mass murderer and torturer, and many incident deaths, so not for the feint of heart

Reading vlog: 

Where do I begin? I give this all the stars!

My heart soared. My heart raced. My heart plummeted. My heart broke. My heart healed, all in a continuous circuit.

I loved this story so much.
Ox and Joe were so beautiful to read about. I was uncomfortable about this all beginning at such a young age, but nothing inappropriate happened when it shouldn't have.

The connections between the characters were so beautifully written and I don't even know how to explain it... it was all candy canes and pinecones. Epic and awesome! 

A 5 out of 5 stars 100%!

This book was bad bad bad and crap crap crap. The best part of it was before I started reading it.

The book was so disjointed in so many parts that I didn’t know what happened between one part of the writing and other parts. There was basically no flow. Ox and Joe are walking red flags, even outside of their inappropriate relationship, they are immature, whiney and possessive. The dialogues between characters were so similar that they all seemed to have the same personality- one-dimensional. The book came across as it was written by a 12 year old with a Twilight obsession, with no understanding of character-building or world-building. Maybe except for the sex scenes, I would have been completely convinced this was written by a kid. The writing was that juvenile. I don’t understand why every time Ox has an emotion, he has to write out a soliloquy about them. I’m not talking artistic, literary soliloquies- they were very whiney and he thinks he’s suffered the most or something. And it’s repeatedly used. By other characters too. There was a lot of repetitiveness. It was a long book not because a lot happened, but because there was a lot of repetition and Klune used a new line for every sentence he wrote in some parts.

The sex scenes were probably the best part of the writing tbh. They were incredibly detailed and less whiney than the other parts- all 15+ pages of it. It wasn’t great, I got second-hand embarrassment from it. It didn’t need to be that long.

TJ Klune, if this book is a reflection of your reality, please get professional help from a therapist and a psychiatrist.

So much raw emotion just spilled so beautifully over the page. Easily a contender for Best BOTY.
