***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review***
OMG...OMG...OMG! I believe I just found my new favorite series! I love finding new authors that I love. So much to the point that I could not put Lena Mae Hill's book down! The more I read and review books, I am having a hard time finding books that I am excited to read. Don't worry they are still there which is why I tend to review for the same Authors over and over, but that is because I love their writing. Writers like Lena Mae Hill remind me why I started my blog and strive me to continue doing what I enjoy. After working in a Health Insurance Office all day, going home to read is nice and relaxing!
Anyways onto the book... I was somewhat weary about reading this book as I was worried it was going to be another dud. Much to my dismay, the book was anything except for a dud. The book was great! I was kept guessing from the start to end of this book. Even though I guessed somethings correctly, Lena Mae kept me second guessing.
Stella... This poor teenager was ripped from her old life and brought to this place that seems like it is a cult. She has a mother and two sisters she never knew she had. What a whirlwind for a girl who just lost her father... or did she? She has absolutely no clue about what is really going outside while she is locked in the house and her family goes out. Honestly this book was great start to finish. The ending does leave you with a cliff hanger and so many unanswered questions.
I want to know more about Harmon. I have so many questions but don't want to give away any details. If you have not read this book yet, I recommend you go out and do it now! I cannot wait for the next book in the Girl Among Wolves Series!

What happens when the Cinderella story takes place in a wolf pack? How can one girl fit into this story and where is it going from here?
I loved the writing and the slow realization of the main character. The idea that she was going to escape and knew what was going on was wrong really made it seem more modern. My only problem was how naive she was to the back story. You wanted to smack her and ugh the ending made me physically groan out loud. I am hoping the next book gives her a bit more insight into her life and doesn't make her so naive.
A great read for Cinderella lovers and fantasy lovers alike.

I love fairytale retellings and while this had elements of Cinderella, attics and mice, a sort of fairy godmother and kind of a prince, I wouldn't call this a retelling. This was an interesting book. Definitely different and original. I've been having a hard time liking MC's lately and this was no different. I just didn't understand Stella. Her thought process and how she went about doing things was reckless? Not very well thought out? I don't know but connecting with her didn't happen. I really liked the other characters. They all were very flushed out and the one good thing about Stella is her perception of the people changed over time and with that change new traits of the characters emerged. The world building was really well done. I could "see" everything. I don't do spoilers but if you're looking for something different and most of the time unpredictable this is definitely a book you should check out. I will read the next book because I'm really curious as to what happens next.

Ooooooh man! I can’t believe it’s a cliffhanger!!!! Grrrr. I guess I’ll just buy the next book on Amazon since I really liked this one. Although a little gruesome, it was still a cool read. It was the perfect blend of Cinderella and werewolves. That’s all for now, but I’ve made some of my notes public!

Read as part of the Marked by Fate anthology. Supposedly a Cinderella retelling but not clear.
