2.25 - it was ok

This book follows Nate Hawthorne, warlock who has been unconsensually sucked into a plot involving a werewolf pack. He was kidnapped and started being forced into a bond with a werewolf so they could use his magic, but escaped before it finished. However, now his magic is draining to nowhere. All this to say: he still needs to bond with a werewolf.

And who better to do it with than one of the Armitage brothers, since they're who his captors had been conspiring against? The plot quickly thickens, because who was it really who was plotting against him, the Armitages, and even some local vampires? What do they want?

I wanted more out of this book. It was far too short with not enough fleshing out. The plot itself wasn't bad, but it just moved so damn *fast*. I feel like I barely got to know the characters. I could have done with just a lot more embellishment, re: the plot and the characters. The author didn't have to rush so hard. But maybe that's because I'm used to reading like 400 page books? Idk.
