Embracing the Wolf by Stephanie Nelson
4.0
I had a lot of fun reading this book, and wish the next book would come out soon!
What I liked about this book:
-The chemistry between Anna and Adam was hot.
-Anthony's character arc was surprising in a good way. I'm generally up for any kind of romantic rivalry, and this one was new and surprising. Can't wait to see what happens there.
-Sawyer's still around and I like him.
What I wasn't crazy about:
-Anna's personality change toward the end was strange--I couldn't tell how we as the reader were supposed to feel about it or her power, so that was confusing and unsettling.
-Anna is still a total dingbat at times. When she has two competing options, she is incapable of weighing them properly. Here is my paraphrased example: "He might have information I need, or he might be trying to murder me. I think I will go with him, because the information is more important than my life and whatever promises I made to the love of my life."
-The last quarter of the book felt a bit rushed and awkward. The decision to go to New Mexico was so sudden. There wasn't a satisfactory resolution with Adam, his parents, or Chloe. I thought Anna would get to "interrogate" more wolves before the bad person was revealed.
-The kiss test thing at the end was so ridiculous. I'm not saying I wish the kiss hadn't happened, I just wish it had a more believable justification for why it happened.
