It has a very strong start, but loses the plot around half way. Characters behave very strangely and contrary to either their personality or the world building. The underage romance is also a bit cringy - in real life this kind of relationship and power dynamic would be seen as very toxic by most rational adults. ‘Magic’ doesn’t make it ok.

Love, love, loved this! Whilst the narration was a little underwhelming, the story carried it through. You can clearly tell this is one of Klunes earliest pieces as the writing style seemed clumsy, repetitive and amateur at times, however the story and the characters more than made up for it! This took me back to my twilight days, as it had that same feeling to it. 
I just want to be a part of the Bennett pack 🥰

Love the narration style, and the plot is actually decent but at one point it just gets repetitive. I've had enough about the "you're special" scenes when the fourth one came like, 40% into the book. It would be more interesting had we learned more about what the wolves are up to, hell, even a glimpse of how the antagonist is moving throughout the story would've felt nice, too.

Also, I have a weird feeling reading about female characters in this book. They're always either maternal, or hostile. Nothing in between. I don't think the author is doing it maliciously, I just genuinely think this is how he really views women. I just get uncomfortable when the female characters in this book got brought up because it's always some shit about how they don't belong to the protagnist which???

The book could've been 200 pages shorter, honestly. However, with all that being said, this does intrigue me to read the next book, so we'll see if anything changes (I highly doubt it).
