Alpha by Audrey Faye

3.0

With the world news being what it is the past few days, this book was a very welcome escape. It's basically hurt/comfort. A very kind leader takes over an abused pack and sets out to help the people of the pack heal with his two other friends who are very good people. 4* for the story about a leader who leads by example and models compassion and kindness (transformational leadership at its finest), thus letting the people he is leading learn to trust that there is good in the world. There's the righting of injustice, caretaking, healing and emotional resolution for the survivors, which is a much-needed message with the war going on.

Unfortunately, 2* for the writing, which is really kind of... not so great. It reminds me of Nalini Singh's books, with awkward and amateurish sentences.
