There are some books that portray teenage obsession in a way that’s easy to enjoy and even indulge. This, unfortunately, isn’t one of those..

Initially, I understood Grace’s love for the wolves, but it quickly became annoying—especially when she rushed into the woods to save them from being shot while also completely forgetting how her friend Rachel was also supposedly in the woods taking pictures. Yet all her focus was on the wolves and not her friend being potentially shot?

And that’s just one thing. There’s several other things like the infuriating absent-mindedness of her parents. I mean how convenient that her parents were the type to let her fend for herself and never check up on her so then she can, again, conveniently  invite a werewolf into their home to literally live there without them noticing. And I don’t even want to get into how fast that relationship moved. I mean you could probably argue that they had some pre-existing connection, but it felt a bit creepy given the lack of scrutiny from her about his wolf form and how he is only half human?

Then there’s how she tried to gaslight Isabel about her own brother. These were all elements that, in a different context, I might have overlooked for the sake of the plot, but collectively, they just left me feeling that the book wasn’t well-written. Or Perhaps I’ve just outgrown my phase of reading teen romance fictions involving supernaturals. I truly hope so then.
