I have a lot more negative points than positive but in the end i still enjoyed it more than expected.
The first thing was that i wasn’t googley-eyes for the writing style. Even from the very first chapter, there was a lot of excess internal monologue and info dump about the world and background information about the characters between dialogue. i simply did not care for it.
I skimmed a little but pushed on and for a few chapters nothing really much happened? untill A female character, Storm was introduced and they then caught over her a little before deciding to have 3somes. I wasn’t a huge fan of the whole thing. And i think for it to have worked better for me then i needed both POVs.
Then there was the whole special white wolf alpha thing. Completely unnecessary in my opinion. Like it hardly brought anything to the table. Although it wasn’t a huge plot point until the end, it was really a waste.
i mean they have Sully revealed to be this special alpha that they were building up to, but then in the end he still doesn’t keep Jules completely safe and even ends up getting gravely injured. I mean obviously he killed Dalton the dick and his lackeys but i feel like if they were gonna make Sully so special and “strong” then they could have at least fell through with it properly.
I feel like the whole fight would have been more satisfying if he were just a regular alpha. But again, this was just my opinion.
Where Jules and Sully’s relationship was concerned, it definitely felt genuine on Sullys part but again, but before the 3rd act conflict played out and Jules’ life was in danger, i wasn’t feeling it as much.
The writing didn’t deliver the depth it didn’t in order to portray Jules’ feeling.
There were definitely some cute moments and some spicy ones and Some other memorable plot points too which made the book enjoyable, but over all this book was just okay for me
