4.5/5 Stars
Copig with the deaths of her mothers, 17 year old Sena has turned to pickpocketing in the hopes of gaining enough money to escape the ice-covered planet she lives on. When she is caught by one of the gang bosses, he gives her no choice but to nurse his prize fighting wolf back to health or join his racing team. Sena wants nothing to do with the races that killed her mothers, and so she decides to escape with the wolf instead.
I was initially drawn to this book because of the gorgeous cover... and I can't believe this is a debut novel! I enjoyed this so much, I flew through this in one day because I was so invested in this survival story. The world building is so well done, and you can vividly picture the cold, harsh planet this race takes place on. I also loved the descriptions of all the killer animals and predators lurking this planet. I loved Sena as a main character. She was so bas-ass, and I loved how head-strong and stubborn she was. I will say that she makes ALOT of silly decisions, but you can't help but root for her while she makes them. Iska and Sena's bond was so intriguing, watching them slowly learn to trust and care for one another was so nice to read about. I love books with animal companions so I was all for this. The found family was so well done, and I loved the relationships Sena developed with her racing team. Remy was definitely my favourite of the bunch. The plot begins a bit slow, but does pick up towards the middle of the book. Once the race begins, it becomes so fast-paced and thrilling. I could not stop flipping the pages.
I'm defnitely looking forward to future books from this author!
