review 1: I was very happy with this book. Plus, it there is a promise of more to come. If there wasn't then my rating would have been very different. I can't wait for the next of this series to come out. The author did a very good job at the time lapse. The two of them meet when they were only 3 and 13 and well, that is just way out of my comfort zone.... But they meet back up almost two decades later.Tim is the son of the alpha. He has several siblings. Some of the werewolves feel that hybrids taint the pureblood werewolf line. Their solution, kill them all. Tim's parents are on the other side of the debate. Tim breaks orders and ends up leaving the house because he is overcome with the need to follow a certain scent. He ends up meeting a hybrid(his mate) and ends up s... moreaving him. Unfortunately not everyone he loves fairs as well. Two decades later, he meets his mate again. Their attraction/pull to one another is overwhelming. How far are they willing to go to stay together? How will Jay's adoptive father react? How will his Tim's father react when he finds out who Jay really is? Also, Jay has some special talents up his sleeve :-)Also, I hope Tim's baby brother Robin will meet someone. He is a great side character in this first story.
review 2: Seriously, what was that? The premise was good, but story you actually get falls way short.This book starts out fairly promisingly. The children don't read like the age they supposedly are, but I could overlook that. But when they grow up it's like they have exactly the same dynamic. I get that you're going to have a similar personality as an adult as you do as a child, but to have the same behaviour is just odd. It was like no one grew up as they got older.That was probably the reason everything played out like a bad soap opera. It was all big irrational responses and wild revelations. Honestly, as much as I love a good soap opera, it was almost enough to make me stop reading.As for the characters, I don't think I liked any of them. I didn't understand any of their motives and their actions made no sense to me. It was really annoying, and because every character was like that it made me feel like I was missing some logical step in the thought process that made it all seem perfectly rational.As for the writing style, I've read a few books by this author and based on those I was expecting the characters to have a slightly odd speech pattern. I thought it would get better over time and be almost unnoticeable in this book. Yeah, no, it got worse. A lot of the dialogue is awkward and choppy, so much so that the characters started to develop heavy accents as I was reading. I think my mind was trying to find a way to make the strange way they spoke make sense.I generally finish series I start, but I won't be finishing this one. All I got from this book was the lesson not to be sucked in by a good blurb and a pretty cover... less
