This book started out great. It captured your attention and left you wanting to learn more about the main characters and the werewolf characteristics/transformation. The transformation process was very detailed, as was the time they were transformed, which was cool to read about.
You can definitely feel the tension between Grace and Marcus, and the history they have between them. It sparks interest in getting to read about them and what happened between them in the past.
I did have some issues with the action scenes in this book. The way they were described didn't fully create a picture in my head like books usually do. It felt awkward and felt like it just didn't draw you into the action. This alone didn't take too much away from the book though.
Grace started off as a strong, independent FMC, who's just trying to be normal in her own way. It was interesting to read about her for most of the book, until I got to about 60% of the way through. By that point, it felt like I had to force myself to keep reading in order to get to the end/resolution. Grace is supposed to be hundreds of years old, yet she's so reckless at certain parts that it feels like a miracle she's lived this long. I understand they're werewolves and sometimes their instincts take over, but if you've lived for as long as she has, wouldn't you have developed some common sense?
The conflict was resolved so quickly and summarized in like, one chapter, which felt a little disappointing. It felt like it was just thrown together to finish the story quickly.
This book contains some spicy scenes.
If you like books about werewolves in a modern-day world, second-chance romance, and mystery, this might be the book for you!
