Captive of Wolves by Eva Chase

3.0

This is probably one of the better werewolf romances that I have read in my lifetime. I say this purely from how the characters act, their personalities and character development. I appreciated that Talia, even though she was scared out of her wits, she still pushed herself to strategize for her own survival. Which I can say, most timid, shy protagonists who have been abused will not do such a thing. Won't even attempt it. So, when read that Talia was going out of her way to try to improve her chances, I was very surprised.

Character-wise, I'd say this book was pretty good, but plot-wise it fell really flat for me. I kept hoping and expecting a big reveal to happen and it never did. There is a small something, but not enough to be called a "climax" to the story. The whole book seemed to amount to nothing. The plot felt really watered down.

As I read the book the author seemed to favor italicizing certain words to add emphasis on the importance of a matter. And I don't know if this is just me, but if felt like the author was emphasizing the wrong words in certain sentences. Which just confused me.

Otherwise, I am interested in continuing on with the series.
