At first i thought that it was an "ok" book like it was just another werewolf meets a human and falls head over heels kinda thing, defies all odds yadda yadda. As the story progresses, I thought "this is pretty predictable, jaime is the human lover, daniel is the unwanted third party.. Very twilight saga" .. I almost wanted to look at the ending in advance just to prove that my theory on this book was right but luckily I stopped myself.. I continued reading, finally got to the end and realized that there was so much more twist to the story. I did not like the ending where the main character had this alpha realizations and is starting to avoid the human and is thinking of the possibility of mating with her own kind for a change..I couldn't tell for sure how the whole thing will play out since it got cut out in the end, not really the satisfying ending I was hoping for but that made me excited for a second book.I did feel sorry for Daniel and that there was some part of me that wanted her to choose the wolf just because it seemed simple and less tragic for her but based on what the human had endured , I would want her to have a happy ending with him too.. But i don't know we'll see. This was also the first time that I did not hate the female main character in a book. They usually get on my nerves, they get too sissy at times. I appreciate the author's writing, it was an easy read yet the plot is a bit more complex than the others that I have read.

Annalise Grey does an outstanding job of weaving a story so believable and captivating you can’t stop reading it. I found myself getting teary eyed as Jaime and Sophie tried to find their way through their relationship.

Part way through the story I figured out part of the mystery with the humans being killed. While I was correct in one aspect of the killings, I was taken by surprise by the rest of it. Ms. Grey does an excellent job of showing the emotions Sophie goes through as she embarks on her new role.

Ms. Grey also adds in another element I love in books that are part of a series, the cliffhanger. While I love cliffhangers I hate having to wait until the next one comes out. So, now I must wait until the next one comes out to find out what Sophie does next.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This was a quick read and overall I thought this was an interesting story.I think that the length of the story made it tough to really get invested in the characters. That isn't to say I didn't care for them, I think I just wanted more. The relationship between Jaime and Sophie was nice but I felt like other than the fact that she liked how he smelled and the fact that there was an electricity when they touched, there wasn't much else as a draw. We did get little glimpses into their character (Jaime talking about his friend or a bit about his family) but not enough. I did get a sense of how separate the Matthews family was and felt from humans. It came across very clear. I was curious to learn more about their background as it is clear their lineage plays a big part in any continuation of this story line. The way the book ended did capture my interest and would push me to rate this a 2.5 as I am interested to see how Sophie adjusts to her new role and also what was in the letter.

It was a really good book :D Loved the storyline and characters :) http://basicallybooks1994.blogspot.com/
