A beautiful story of found family, revenge and danger. Wolves and humans, pack and loss. 
Trigger warnings for violence, child abuse and blood.

Eu tinha expectativas sobre essa leitura, uma vez que já li os outros livros publicados por aqui e amei muito. Que bom que não me decepcionei. TJ Klune é incrível, não poderia ser diferente.
Essa é uma leitura bem mais adulta, diferenciando dos demais, mas ainda sim, tem aquele brilho de inocência, misturado com a intensidade dos personagens, tornando bem sólidos a construção da narrativa.
Amo como ele trabalha a representatividade em suas histórias, porque vamos ter romance e hot pesadão: sim! Foi um surto atrás do outro.
Apesar de ser um livro imenso, a leitura é tão dinâmica, rápida, hábil, que não deu pra largar enquanto não terminasse. Não vejo a hora de ler as continuações e saber o que tanto o bando Bennett trará para nós.

So, yes, it's gay werewolf romance, but it really surprised me. The writing is sometimes overwrought, but the love story is sweet and Ox's character maturation is believable. I will definitely seek out other work from this author.

I really struggled with the age difference of the two main characters being in a sexual relationship. And I didn’t think the writing was that great- super repetitive, which was not effective. It was hard reading about  a toxic relationship that was glorified.  I have no problem with gay sex, but the sex scenes were really graphic – gratuitously so. It feel like I was reading porn.

I have enjoyed other books from this author, so I was surprised.  I don’t think he did a good job with character development this time, and the characters weren’t particularly likable. I will not be reading the rest of this series.
