A Wolf Steps in Blood by Tamara Jerée
3.5
emotional fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

With decadent prose and lovable characters, A Wolf Stepped in Blood was a real delight. I did have some issues with the insta-love between Yasmine and Kalta, but I do like the author’s choice to use a bond between them to justify how quick their relationship progressed. 

This book has some of my favorite werewolf lore of all time and, on top of that, I loved the way that it tackled themes of identity, community, and grief. The pacing was off at times, but that didn’t stop me from eating this book up. 

Tamara Jerée is definitely an author I need to read more from!
