Thrown to the Wolves by Charlie Adhara
5.0
I've really been enjoying this series and THROWN TO THE WOLVES is my favorite so far because I finally feel like we really know both Cooper and Park as individuals. Up to this point Park has been a bit of a mystery, helped along by the fact that the series is written only in Cooper's POV. But with this trip home we learn a whole lot about werewolf packs, politics, and the baggage Park has been carrying around. I loved learning about the Park pack, the myth behind the first werewolf, and some interesting background on Park's family.
We've known that Park has distanced himself from his pack but we haven't really understood why until now and it was emotional and heartbreaking. I've been dying for this glimpse into who Park really is, so THROWN TO THE WOLVES finally gave me that deeper understanding of Park that I've been craving. I do think the beginning is a little bit confusing because there's all these things Cooper doesn't know about wolves and therefore we don't know them. Park does everything he can to protect his secrets, mostly out of fear that Cooper won't love the "real" Park. But once this hits about half way things really start to click into place and I think the second half is stronger.
Even when things were rocky, these two were great and I never doubted they were meant to be. I also loved some of the new turns their intimacy took and how Cooper began to find his inner "alpha." I'm really looking forward to the next book!

Favorite Quotes:
"Being open isn't easy for either of us. Shit, maybe not for anyone. But I work on it because, to me, you're worth it. And you know what, Oliver? I'm worth it, too. So pull your shit together so we can get on with being mates and in love and all that trash."
Park rolled them so that he was hovering over Cooper and held his face in his hands. "There’s my porcupine. I didn't recognize you there for a minute, all sensitive."
