Good pace and continuous story building, decent world building and characters (you can always do more, but its fine). Love the gender roles, modern halleluja ! If you are a Rhysand lover, you’ll like this one. She’s her own person with her own destiny, not defined by ‘him’.

Honestly hadn’t expected that. The occasional ‘instagram, kim kardashian’ references are a bit funny but I think it will allow for even more world building..

Magical

Be prepared, you will be sucked in. You feel all of Demi's emotions. Happiness, heartbreak, anger- this story is written so well that your own heart feels it all. I can't wait for the next book!!

girl needs to get her priorities straight, she got attacked and is worried that Sawyer won't want to date her because he had to lie to his dad about her. Girl! i would be more worried about the vampires trying to kill/take you. Also like she knows she different the other wolves and Sawyer knows why but instead of asking questions she just like his keeping it from me for a good reason. ugh yeah i'm done.

Listen, I enjoyed this book but the ending was so odd and out of character for both Demi and Sawyer. Like how do you lose all trust you once had in a split second? Let her explain herself…

I've been on a streak of really boring disappointing books lately. With a pitch of "werewolf bachelor," Wolf Girl sounded like it might just be different enough to spark interest but I ended up DNFing halfway through. Its just a book with no substance.

Firstly, while its theoretically an urban fantasy, there is both nothing "urban" (i.e. the world is totally generic, uninteresting and unimportant) and nothing "fantasy" (i.e. magical creatures exist but rather than do anything interesting with them, the author expects readers to assume werewolves, vampires, witches, fey and so on are basically whatever stereotype comes into their head). So we are left with one of the least specific and least imaginative urban fantasy worlds I've ever come across, where the werewolves live in Wolf City, the fey live in Fey City and so on.

So, ok, the author finds her own fantasy world totally pedestrian and uninteresting but the "story" (insofar as one exists at all) is about mysterious magical powers, behind the scenes factional political struggles and traumatic past secrets. Well, that's what it is supposed to be about but our "protagonist" Demi pretty much stops existing when her love interest isn't present. Every single scene we get is either her being upset about him ignoring her or him taking her on a date. At one point there is an assassination attempt against our protagonist that reveals she has a mysterious magical power and in the immediate aftermath, we skip 3 weeks and 6 days ahead because that is when their next date happens. Your whole world is supposed to be turned upside down by shocking revelations, react!

Well, this isn't an urban fantasy and it isn't a mystery/thriller. Its all about her love interest so obviously its supposed to be a romance, right? Here is a list of everything she finds attractive about the love interest:

* he is hot
* he is rich
* he has abs
* he buys her expensive gifts
* he has dimples
* he gives her an unlimited credit card to go shopping

Notice how it is totally devoid of anything about personality or their interactions. That's not an accident, by halfway through the book she's barely had three short conversations with the guy and his best established traits are possessive, jealous and unexpectedly violent.

Or in short, I couldn't find anything interesting in this book. It was an absolute chore to read as far as I did and I saw no indication that it was getting better so I just dropped the book.

You haven't seen a wolf like this

I grabbed this book off a Facebook ad and couldn't be happier. This ride is definitely worth the ticket price.

Wolf Girl is all kinds of twists and turns. Drama, angst, and Wolf Bachelor create a maelstrom that will keep you pulled in and with your head just barely above water.

I can't wait to read book 2!
