The story in the book is a compelling one - werewolves, grief, evolving relationships. Yet I feel as though the authors did not give their story enough room to full explore each element they introduced. The ending did not feel like the end of a book, more the end of a scene while background characters never got their conclusions. I wish there was more exploration into WHY the paranormal is so prominent in this tiny town. I also felt that some of the pacing was off, glazing over big emotional moments for the sake of finishing the plot.
