War of Hearts by S Young

War of Hearts (True Immortality, #1)

by S. Young

A standalone paranormal romance from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young, writing as S. Young.

Thea Quinn has no idea what she is. All she knows is that her abilities have been a plague upon her life since she was a child. After years of suffering at the hands of a megalomaniac, Thea escaped and has been on the run ever since.

The leadership and protection of his pack are of the utmost importance to Conall MacLennan, Alpha and Chief of Clan MacLennan, the last werewolf pack in Scotland. Which is why watching his sister slowly die of a lycanthropic disease is emotional torture. When Conall is approached by a businessman who offers a cure for his sister in exchange for the use of Conall’s rare tracking ability, Conall forges an unbreakable contract with him. He has to find and retrieve the key to the cure: dangerous murderer, Thea Quinn.

Thea’s attempts to evade the ruthless werewolf are not only thwarted by the Alpha, but by outside dangers. With no choice but to rely on one another for survival, truths are revealed, intensifying a passionate connection they both fight to resist. At war with themselves and each other, Conall and Thea’s journey to Scotland forces them to face a heartrending choice between love and betrayal.

THIS. WAS. EPIC.

I mean, I haven't felt like this after finishing a book since The Winter King, by C.L. Wilson. Like rooting so much for the main characters, and feeling like I just read a series instead of a standalone book. Because it feels like so much happened! Then I go check the actual length of the book and I'm just amazed that it doesn't even get to 500 pages. It felt like much longer than that but I read it in a breeze!

This book just feels so complete. It has everything. It gives us a nice set up of the stakes, introduces us to the characters, let them know, respect and trust each other, and only then does the book finally start bringing them together. I loved that.

I don't really even LIKE supernatural books where there's a mix of supernatural creatures. I like my werewolves books being ONLY about werewolves. But this one... I could look past that pet peeve of mine, because the actual story was so entertaining and well-executed.

I just enjoyed this so much, and I'm so happy I get another book in this world soon!
