Finally this series is over, it is going to be sad leaving Sunshine and Storm but for all the other characters I couldn't care less, especially Sweet and Lucky, I mean i never liked Sweet (worst Alpha ever) but Lucky got such a character change that I was shocked, the rest of the pack was as characterless as possible and never able to actually think for themselves, which could drive one crazy! The wolf pack had better characters to offer. The plot had again some dragging parts and the ending was an easy guess

cause Breeze dies and all the pups are safe

I don't get why a few new characters were added in the last seconds, instead of letting old characters reappear, like the wolf pack, the fox or known dogs? I am also a bit confused about

Bellas death, it felt like it was added just to have someone die so the fans would be shocked instead of adding more depth. Also Breeze as the killer was a bit of a letdown since we didnt know enough about her, or have known her as long as other characters to be actually afflicted by her treason

I was expecting something entirely  different from this novel, like some light romance and a bit drama on top but nothing more. Instead I got zero romance and a huge heap of drama in my face. That made me quite enjoy this book, even though the characters are hard to take. The plot was quite fast and to the point. The only thing I would have liked to add was an ending that made much more BAM! I was expecting

Heathcliff to die through the hands of either a character hating him or maybe even killing himself in the moor for his actions, cause that guy was just the worst thing ever

Other than that, the ending is quite realistic and well done.

So now we know who is the bad dog, like most have already guessed it is

Breeze. I mean it could have been only her with that weird abduction story she told. She is a dog and since their senses are extremely acute, it just didn't make sense that she couldn't see, couldn't SMELL, couldn't hear anything significant about the dog who is carrying her to the river to throw her in (while the other victims got teared to pieces)?

This aside, it was a nice change to see how an actually functioning pack should be, like the one of Bella and Arrow, where one is respected, loved and won't be bossed around. This time we even get to see a wolf pack, which I found also positive and interesting, though that part is quite small unfortunately, way longer is Storms wandering about, searching for a new pack. The ending will make many fans angry cause

the old pack of Storm is taking her prisoner, rather believing Breeze instead of her, even thinking about blinding her as a punishment.

Again one more reason why Sweet and Lucky just suck at being leaders.

Storm is getting more and more hate and no one does anything, just like in the previous books. Sweet and Lucky acting entirely characterless and still no traitor conclusion but my prime suspect would be now

Breeze since the story she told about her abduction made zero sense.

Again annoying character actions, specific dog breed hate, quarrels and dragging chapters. Still no conclusion about the traitor and no one, except for Storm is able to actually think something through. Lucky and Sweet continue to disappoint whenever possible and still act like the highest order. The thing with the

glass as weapon feels so weird,  i mean how did the traitor get that much glass and distribute it so easily without being seen or even dying while carrying it in its mouth?

Dear lord, this book made the characters annoy me even more than the last one did! My problem is again with the pack hierarchy and the hate some dogs feel against fierce dog breeds. The characters were already flat but some managed to get even flatter still, like Sweet, Lucky and poor Twitch who is not allowed to be as useful as other dogs. I couldn't believe that Lucky

suggested to scar a fox just the way old Alpha wanted to scar him and Sweet's decisions are mostly equally bad.

Storm has to think plausible for the entire pack, cause no one is able to, till the book ends but not in a good conclusion, the end is again open for the next book.

The second series is trying something entirely new. Instead of concluding the plot with every book, they build up the plot in each one and leave the end open to be concluded in the next few ones, most likely till the end of the series. This means that this book is mostly build up. This time the main character is Storm instead of Lucky. The start is slow and contains everyday life in the pack, like hunting and literally quarreling whenever possible about dog breeds. Just like in the last series, most dogs dislike Storm because she is supposedly dangerous, even though she saved many of them a few times. Lucky and Sweet still annoy me a lot cause they never allow anyone to think on their own and boss them around however they like. Till the end of the book we get a few interesting scenes and some lore but not much, so again a few chapters feel long. The ending is strong and makes one want to read more but it ends in a cliffhanger.

I think it was an okay ending with much action and tension but the beginning was again slow with a bit of a drag. It was easy to guess that

the villains would have to pay since it is the last book of the first series. Finally old Alpha is dead, he could be incredibly annoying.

Blade was okay for a villain but only slightly more fleshed out than the old Alpha, they could have used much more development. Storm was always interesting as a character, unlike Lucky and a few others. Sunshine is still my favorite, she is just too cute and doesn't deserve to be treate so bad, even though Sweet and Lucky are now leading, they have changed literally nothing when it comes to Omegas.

My first time ever reading Pride and Prejudice and I gotta say I expected much more. The characters were alright and realistic but not anything special. Jane and Lydia were my favorites, especially Lydia, she was entertaining with her weird attitude. The story itself was actually pretty light and funny without much drama, I guess I was expecting some really shocking moments. What I was not expecting was

Wickham as the bad guy or him marrying Lydia
