Oh good gravy this book was AMAZEBALLS. It was like the Hunger Games with vampires. I was so sucked into this story I skipped my lunch and lord knows I love my food. Thanks heaven's I have book two lined up and ready to go or I might have been stalking the author Misery style (lol).



The writing was fantastic. The pace was perfect. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. The world building was good but because of that, I felt the "romance" took a backseat. I wasn't overly bothered by this as this is a trilogy and the author had to set the stage. As this was a YA novel there isn't much in the physical relations department (just a kiss). I am kind of hoping that maybe we will get some sexy times between Selena and Varick in upcoming books but I guess that depends if the author will stay with the YA theme or not.  This one also had a great cast of secondary characters. All flawed in their own ways. Some you will love more than others and I hope that maybe something didn't happen like we were lead to believe as I sort of thought the author implied that a certain wolf may have a connection with a certain other person. I guess we will see. Both main characters were great. I felt like Varick was the slightly more developed of the two as we get a touch more background for his character. But Selena was equally engaging and I can't wait to see her getting her revenge. Last, we are left with a nice little cliffhanger. And like I said above I am SO glad I have book two lined up and ready to go. All in all, I enjoyed this one immensely, and it gets two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly.
