Throw Me to the Wolves by Christopher Brooks, Lindy Ryan
emotional
medium-paced
3.0
Giving a rating for this book is really hard. The story felt fresh, expecially in the beginning. Werewolves are an overdone trope and can be overdone, but I think the angle this book took was very clever. however, expecially in the beginning there were some writing issues that made me feel like I was reading someones first novel. Primarily: I do not need to be reminded of the colour and make of the main characters shoes every 3 pages. I felt like the book could do with more show, and less telling us. It wasn't annoying enough to put the book away, though, as I was actually invested in Britta's peculiar situation. This was dampened a little when it seemed it was heading towards a love triangle, on which the bullet was luckily dodged.
furthermore, I feel some scenes did add very little to the story, including some of the flashbacks. those, while interesting, seemed to hold very little weight. similarly, the whole lust aspect seemed to not really mean anything in the long run.
But, this story... it had me captured until the book was done, the twist at the end was nice and juicy...even if the actual end felt a tad rushed...and for that I want to give this a high rating, yet that would negate my other points. I will give it a solid three stars.
