ARC REVIEW
I really enjoyed this book.
The romance drama was the absolute most. Rejected Mates, Fated Mates, Werewolves (obvs), sneaky magic, pack politics conflict.... all things i absolutely love in a shifter novel.
1. I loved that BOTH main characters made the other one work for redemption.
2. I loved that the mate bond was never out right rejected. The pining and angst was TOP TEIR.
3. I liked the EU setting, very fun.
4. Every character (except the bad guys) was likable for their own reasons.
5. The set ups for the next novels in this series had me in a chokehold- i am so invested.
6. It was a little long for me- I think the romance plot could have been the first book, and the pack politics could be the second all on its own- however I do see how the pack conflicts are going to be the overarching plot that carries through the entire series.
7. Cliffhanger.... but not really <3
8. SO SEXY, like sexxxxualllll, but it was such a sweet build up to it.
9. this romance takes place over YEARS, which I loved. The flash backs were sweet and spicy and full of love and just made so much sense with the present tense chapters.
Anyway- I hate to give too much away but I really really loved it
I only minused a half a star becuase I was sort of getting bored there around 70% and then it picked back up around 85%
