Toxic! And rushed!
First of all, With the huge cliffhanger after book one I thought the vampire kidnapping would last more than 5 seconds.
I also HATED every time Sawer talked through the bond. His words didn’t match his actions. I really liked him in the first book but now he kept claiming to care for Demi yet he cared more about his own wants than her physical well being. He KNEW her talking to him hurt her because of the cuffs yet HE KEPT ASKING HER QUESTIONS ANYWAY to satisfy himself at her expense. Wtf was up with that?

This picks up right where the first book ends and is pretty much non-stop movement until the very end. Just like in the first book we only get Demi's perspective though as Demi and Sawyer are separated, it would've been great to get his perspective to see how the shit hit the fan back in Wolf City from the moment she was captured. Sadly, we only get minor snippets and 'recaps' from Sawyer and Demi's mental communication and it was a bit underwhelming.
The majority of this book follows Demi as she journeys back from Troll Valley through various territories (Troll Valley, Dark Fae, Light Fae, Wildlands) and I liked getting to see how different they are. Again, I think the world-building was done well and I had a clear picture in my head of the magical races and their lands as we journeyed through them. It was slower-paced as there are a lot of reflective moments over what took place and speculation about what's happened since then, and being in Demi's head was a bit repetitive. We do see her character gain some strength and self-assurance in this book though and we get to see her wield her powers more now that the secret is out, but she also happens to very quickly run into Walsh and Sage, who are on their way to rescue her, while in Dark Fae lands. I wasn't mad about it though because I liked Sage and her friendship with Demi, and it lessened the pining in her internal monologues.
That said, I was honestly disappointed and frankly annoyed by Demi's quick forgiveness of Sawyer's actions. Like, woman, please. Stick up for yourself? Where's your backbone? He did you real dirty and you're gonna capitulate that easily? I found it even more frustrating that though she said "she loves him and she'll get over what he did" she seems to rethink it all when they finally meet up and she goes through more hemming and hawing in her head and... Welp!

I'll admit I don't handle cliffhangers well and knowing the Leia Stone serves up some killer endings I decided to wait until the entire series had been released and read it as one complete read. It took me two days to binge the Wolf Girl series and I totally enjoyed the whole thing from start to finish. The drama, supsense, highs, lows, romance ... I am there for it all, but most of all I love the growth of the characters through out the series and the happily ever after that you know will be coming.
The Wolf Girl series was epic. Each book purposely built on the plot of the overall story while also focusing on the characters you had met and introducing new ones. I loved Demi and Sawyer they were just so perfect both as a couple and as individual characters. Leia Stone wrote such amazing supporting characters that they are almost as engaging as her main characters and I look forward to reading Luka's spin off series. The world building was fantastic as well with new races and a unique hybrid paranormal/urban fantasy world created however this is yet another halmark of this amazing author.
Definately dive into the Wolf Girl series as soon as you can. I would recommend this for readers who enjoy paranormal/ urban fantasy, shifter & supernaturals, epic romances and strong alphas standing up to the world.

Je l'ai lu car Laura Thalassa l'avait recommandé. C'était sympa, mais je m'attendais à mieux. Il y a 4 livres, mais vu la longueur du roman, les 4 tomes auraient aisément pu n'en faire qu'un seul. Le concept est intéressant, mais j'ai trouvé que c'était un peu trop empressé et "facile" sur certains passages. Et puis Sawyer est un peu trop... "gnangnan" pour moi. Mais ce n'est que mon point de vue et ça reste tout de même sympa à lire.
Est-ce que c'est mon roman de werewolf préféré ? Non.
Est-ce que je vais tout de même lire la suite ? Oui.

Well I guess... ça se lit mais une fois de plus, tout ça aurait pu tenir dans un seul tome. Je vais lire la suite, parce que bon... Not a quitter. Et à ce stade, je crois que mon compte en banque a renoncé à me tempérer dans mes achats.

Loving this story!
Omg I loved this book. I mean how could you not? At the end, the author has a section where she says “stalk me” and my immediate thought was, don’t mind if I do! You’ll love it. :)

I mean, I don't dislike Sawyer but his reactions are OTT.
And more meaningful communication wouldn't hurt the plot I don't think.
