Right to business

Something I LOVE about this book is that they don't mess around and waste your time on plot fillers. You don't have to wait and listen to 10-20 minutes talking about everything they did to prepare for a battle you jump right into it.
You get through more stroy in 7 hours than some series gets through in 2 + books. Yet you don't feel as though you are missing much... just most of the boring stuff.

Everything plus the kitchen sink

Holy moly what is going on with this story? It’s like sprinting a quadrathlon on a jet pack while listening to a guide to morality.
I couldn’t finish it. I spent most of my time eye rolling as the main female character continued to be revealed to be one amazing thing after the other, I lost track of all the ways the author made her special. The character didn’t earn any of these talents but seemed to be chosen as the epicentre of the supernatural universe! It was so exasperating.
Spoiler alert

The girl is the most rare thing on earth...cue the eye roll...

First she’s special because she survived the change, then she’s second in command, then she’s the alpha’s mate, then she’s immune to silver, then she’s a matefinder, then she finds out she’s adopted and is actually the rare product of a werewolf/witch hybrid, then she’s a future seer, she’s a lethal wolf who beheads super fast, then she can save the werewolf species and then she apparently can make female vampires fertile....I mean are you serious?!!! And the entire time she’s cool with it all. Like, yup..ok, I’m a werewolf, yup ok I’m a badass, ok cool I’m part witch, ohhhh did you say I am a seer too, cool. Wtf?!
The book moves so fast and with such forced empty action that it has zero substance.
The writing is poor. A half decent editor would have helped a lot with word repetition, sentence structure and dialogue. It was so stiff.
I also don’t need to be reminded every few minutes that she’s a vegetarian and that it makes her special. I don’t eat meat but I don’t think just because my friends do that somehow killing a person is easier for them, which is what the character implies.
Ugh I’m so done with this book and it’s nonsense. There is no heat, no drama, no significant character development, it’s all superficial and forgettable.

Simply Amazing !!!!

This book is by far one of the best I have ever read. It has Action/Romance/Werewolf's/Witches/ Vampires and a amazing plot. The characters are so well described that you feel their pain, joy and all their emotions. The narrator did a good job but she didn't get the male voices right. A dual narrative would have made it perfect . I highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next.

It had potential

I want to begin this with an analogy. If writing books was like being a sculpture, using fine tool to chisel details, as a sculpture this author used a club to try and beat the marble into something she wanted.

The main problem with this book is the lack of detail, it feels like a 12 year old wrote it. Very general details are given without any of the minor details that you need to bring the book to life.

Another problem is the lack of character development. I found my self laughing, rolling my eyes, or just down right horrified at how hollow and uninteresting everything was. Not only does the author fail to flesh out the main charcter, she just makes her an automatic badass leaving me feeling disconnected. The detail in the fighting, traveling, and overall interaction between characters is so short that if you don't pay attention for a few seconds your completely lost.

The way some of the characters feel and express themselves sounds absolutely reddiculous, not to mention that Kia, or whatever his name was, was scared for the first time several times. This book almost feels like the author went in without a plan and contradicts herself so many times.

The story progression is horrifying things that, in any other well written book, were nearly shrugged off because it was delivered so poorly. I stopped and started this book at least 10 times before finally giving up.

great

The narrator, which I believe is as important as the story, is excellent. The story has a great plot line and strong characters.

Great premise; terrible execution

I’ve never written a review before but after reading all the positive reviews I found myself suffering through this entire book. Thanks a lot reviews!
The Matefinder Concept was a nice new possibility in a world of werewolves that is starting to feel like we have read it all lately. To my disappointment the the execution by the author was terrible; in one chapter she is magically ok with nearly dying and becoming a werewolf and taking her place as a dominant in a pack. ONE CHAPTER. The narrator isn’t the worst but if your looking for inflections or a differentiation between characters she has some significant work to do. I now find myself going to purchase some of the terribly reviewed books I had interest in because the audible community gave this such high ratings that there must be confusion on what it means to get 1 vs 5 stars.

Quickly a favourite read!

Great character building, dives right into the story. Style of writing is exactly what I look for and the performance was done very well. Looking forward to the next volume.

Very good

I was a little worried at first because it seemed like instalove, which I hate, and I almost stopped reading but I am so glad that I didn't. The instalove makes sense and, believe me, they still have issues to work out so it's not 100% perfect lovey dovey all the time.

Really really bad

This was really really bad. totally unbelievable - yes i get the whole genre is unbelievable being about werewolves and all but she gets turned and totally accepts everything never questions anything and so many other annoying things. I only managed to make it in until just after she discovers she is a matefinder as well... and believe me that was hard work getting that far... and it wasnt even that far in :-/ everything happened way to fast. waste of money dont bother with it.
