Disclaimer: I won the audio book through a giveaway on The Storygraph.

I'm usually not that much into werewolves, but this story was a lot of fun to listen to. The narrator was also great! Would recommend, and might read/listen to the other parts of the series.

I won this book in a Storygraph giveaway - thank you for the opportunity!

I was excited by the premise of this book with the FMC leaving a patriarchal and unhappy home and learning to have to stop her wolf - then needing to get her back again. Terra is a very interesting character, and, as this appears to be the first in a series, I have hope that she will keep getting to grow when given more time. The writing ebbed and flowed for me, but there were some lovely written moments when Terra is remembering moments from her past, and when she sees a happy family that she wishes she had.

I had a hard time getting into the book initially, and I had a lot of false starts. I think the first scene kind of threw me in, and I struggled to get my bearings until I got to understand why Terra was the way she was in Chapter 3. I also struggled with calling the MMC Wolfie. Doesn't exactly inspire romance or attraction to me. The situation with her sister, father, and nephew felt rushed, but perhaps in the later books that is more resolved and those characters are more fleshed out.

Overall, if you are wanting a PG werewolf novel, this could be the series for you. I don't know that I'll continue this series at this time, but I'm not closing the door on the series fully.
