Silver in the Blood by Jessica Day George
3.0

3.5/5

If this is actually a stand-alone then I really commend the author! This was a pretty decent fantasy story and I feel like the ending was wrapped up enough for it to stay a stand alone or to be expanded. I would not mind if it was expanded.

I had a little trouble with the beginning, it took such a long time to find out what secrets the family was hiding, but after that things started happening super quickly. So overall, the pacing was scrambled. I would've preferred the action to be a little more spread out.

However, the characters were so well developed! I really loved Dacia in the beginning, had some issues with her in the middle, but loved her again by the end.
I was honestly so shocked by her reaction to being a shapeshifting wolf. I thought she would relish being able to defend herself and lash out at enemies etc.
Lou was much more quiet compared to Dacia, but omg I loved how she changed after finding out the family secrets. She was so cool and intelligent. I just really loved Lou so much by the end of this book. There was also some cute romance so that added to this :D
