About this ebook
Alexandra is having a hard enough time being human, dealing with the unexpected death of her father and a family that’s slowly unraveling in the wake of that death.
So she really, really didn’t need a werewolf attempting to kill her on top of everything else.
But hey, such is life sometimes, right? Sometimes it gives you lemons, and sometimes it gives you death and vicious werewolf attacks that leave you infected, confused, and surrounded by strangers who all claim they want to save and protect you.
Now all Alex has to do is decide who to trust. Which would be a lot easier if A.) Her life wasn’t suddenly insane, and B.) If one of those people trying to earn her trust wasn’t Kael, a boy who manages to be arrogant, infuriating, and entirely-too-hot-for-his-own-good, all at once. Oh, and who also might know more about herself than she does. Although, it turns out, that isn’t saying much.
Because her whole life has been a lie.
And now that her father is gone, dangerous truth after dangerous truth is surfacing, and Alex finds herself a would-be pawn in the center of an ancient supernatural war. A war that will force her to make an impossible choice, thanks to the magic tied to her bloodline—magic that could save the entire human world, or potentially unleash a monstrous force unlike anything it’s ever seen.

It wasn't a bad read, but Alex got really annoying at times, which distracted from an otherwise good storyline. Also, just as a side note, the girl neither washed or had a shower in at least a week. Any lycan or werewolf would have scented her from ten miles away! Just something to think about when writing about supernatural creatures with a heightened sense of smell.

The book book is interesting albeit a little predictable. The story progresses smoothly mostly but at some points it either gets too slow or too fast. However, it is worth reading, a nice book in the werewolf young adult genre .

It's a easy read, action pace is good. Not much in terms of characters, a bit of reused ideas here and there, not very deep, a light harder read. Overall it's ok.
