Four Days tells the story of Ivy a shifter and a member of the Weston pack and Lorenzo Church, a pack master for a neighbouring pack. Lorenzo relies on intimidation when it comes to ruling his pack. His pack members respect him out of fear rather than love. He is cynical when it comes to love. He believes that it has no place in his life. He is close to no one and persons found it hard to relate to him.
Ivy on the other hand has a great capacity to love. She is opinionated, strong willed, resilient, witty and smart. She has a beautiful soul and a forgiving spirit in the face of the hardships she suffered most her life. She is not the type to sit around feeling sorry for herself. She is not the type of woman that Lorenzo generally gets involved with as such when he found himself intrigued by her he was confused.
The interaction between them is entertaining and the chemistry is sizzling. They are good together; however, I felt that not enough attention was given to developing their romance. I thought the story’s main focus was on dealing with the tormentor from Ivy’s past.
My experience with this author’s work is limited, but the main thing that jumps out at me is that she has a knack of weaving real life issues in her stories. This one of the things that appeals to me when reading as it makes it easy for me to relate to the story.
I enjoyed this book from the outset and I was hooked to the very last page. I admit that there were parts where I thought the pace was a bit slow due to extensive descriptive details; however, this did not detract from the story.
This is a great read. If you love shifters and you want a story that will keep you on your toes, then get yourself a copy of Four Days.
Favourite quote:
"My mother had once told me, never to trust a person who is like the moon. They don't shine from within, but require the light of others to make them look good," (Ivy)
