I really don't want to give this book 5 stars because the author kind of pisses me off, and I by no means support or condone the guy and his actions, but this book was breathtaking, to say the least. I only just started getting back into reading, and since I've started, not once have I stayed up a full night reading till this book. I laughed, cried, blushed, and yelled. It was an experience. And I do have a bias, because I LOVE werewolves AND romances, so this was perfect. That being said, this book does have problems. One, the age gap. Seriously, the author didn't have to make it that big, (about 6 years-ish but they meet when one is a kid and the other is a teen), it made me uncomfortable at some parts, and luckily I forgot about it once both characters were in their 20s, but still. I mostly blame this on the author and in my mind the bond was the strongest thing, so thats ok, but I'll still just pretend that age gap wasn't a thing. Second, the antagonist was- truly horrifying. Which is a good thing, for writing a character, but like some serious trigger warnings are needed for that guy alone. It was excessive and not needed at some parts. Finally, it dragged on a bit here and there, the anticipation was killing me, but on the other hand it made everything more emotional so maybe it was needed. Despite that and not liking the author as a person, this book was great. I would reccomend to anyone who wants a gay werewolf romance with lovable characters and a long plot, because this book has it. 9.5/10 read.
