Denying Fate by C.C. Dado
3.0
This is my first experience with this author and I'd be interested in reading more of this series, though I found this book to be a little hit and miss.
The basis of the story and the relationship between Max and Alpha Christian is intriguing.
All wolves have a gift and Max is yet to discover his. His main focus at the moment is getting the Alpha to notice him and the mate pull that Max is certain of. The Alpha is very reticent about Max. He's always watching over the younger man but cannot see the two of them having a future.
To me, the story had a lot of promise but didn't quite fulfill on it's potential. There were, for me, some really good parts that, if fleshed out a little would have massively boosted my interest and involvement with the characters. Less is not always more.
One thing that confused me was that the POVs used in the book are Max and Max's best friend Seth, we don't actually read from Christian. Seth does play a big role for Max, has been supportive and important to Max, but having his POV didn't quite make sense to me.
The connection between Max and Christian is clear to see from the outside but there wasn't a lot of interaction between them making it hard to feel connected to, and involved with, the characters.
The setting itself is well described and a place I would definitely love to live in, sounding quaint and appealing.
I would ask people to give this book a go as overall, I enjoyed the story, but I'm hoping that book two goes a little deeper with action, conversation and emotions.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review
