There is a special sweetness in this particular story, that spans the many different kinds of love we each have in our lives, as well as the pain of losing those dear relationships.
A stand-alone novel, but with an opportunity to shed more whites and grays, by continuing to share the next chapters in her devoted characters lives.
I normally don’t read these kinds of books but something made me give it a chance. I loved it! It had me on the edge of my seat. I fell in love so hard with Sebastian and Romy. I could never choose between the two. And the angst. God, it drove me crazy.
Watching the relationship between these two characters blossom was encouraging. I’ve never read of a love like this, something so fated that the whole world would be upside if they were to be apart. I loved it so much. Twists and turns like no other.
It was a bittersweet ending, because I couldn’t let them go and my heart was in so much pain and yet so full. Such an amazing read!
This book is the ultimate coming of age love story. Marley & Sebastian, the two main characters, will stay with you long after you’ve read the last sentence. I laughed, cried and feared for them, never able to put it down from the first chapter onwards.
Sebastian’s joy at discovering the world, his first steps from man to wolf, discovering love, being in love, it makes you aware of all the things you take for granted. Marley’s own change, as she goes through puberty and adolescence, is described and witnessed in such a way you know the author definitely knows what she’s talking about. Their romance, from the beginning, tugs at your heart strings, hoping to no end that your own daughter would find someone this dedicated and loving.
The author managed to weave together a pure, romantic story, with strong characters and funny anecdotes. I could go on for miles of paper about how wonderful the story is, how well the Lycan plotline is described, how truly fearful the danger they face made me feel… But there’s only so many words I can put in this review.
Suffice to say, from the main characters to the background secondary ones, each one tugs at your heart. The seamless flow of the dialogue, the description of the environment, it all has you viewing the world the author created through her eyes – and what a wonderful world! I will be recommending this to friends, without a second thought, because it’s the kind of story I feel everyone – especially young girls out of their teenage years – needs to read.
I would love love love to read more about them, or their world, in the future.
*I received a free copy of the book in exchange for reviewing it, and it has not altered my opinion; this is my true and honest review*
I read this book in two sittings, and not by choice. If I could have, I would have read it all in one. In between the sittings, this beautiful story consumed my thoughts. It also fed my already existing fantasy of having a pet wolf; not really a desired side effect, haha.
My favourite aspect of this book were the characters. In this story, they were so easy to connect with, and become invested in that one becomes fully and completely enthralled in the story. The main characters in this story, Marley, Romy, Jimmy, and Trevor, have beautiful souls and hearts. India has this affinity to creating immensely powerful bonds between beautiful characters. I’m not going to lie, my eyes may have welled up at a fee instances because of their friendship.
I don’t want to give any spoilers, so I’m going to finish by saying that the plot was unpredictable and that the last quarter of the book was emotionally packed, riveting, and out of this world – pun may be intended. If you haven’t picked this book up yet, what are you waiting for?
My sweet, you know who you are, I have two words for you: absolutely stunning.
I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review
Oh wow!….sigh… Oh wow!
I just knew i would love this story and i was not disappointed. I couldn’t put this down.
Marlena had a wonderful imagination as a child and often played in her Castle. One day she met two wolves who she made her castle guards. When the wolfs had a cub she named him Remy little did she know that she would become Remy’s guard and his reason to live.
This story was just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. The pace was spot on something was always happening to keep my attention. The love, friendship, family, loyalty and innocence that bleed from every page was outstanding. It was magical to see how Remy and Marlena matured into adult and soul mates.
The sad times really tugged at the ole heart strings. But the happy times were so joyous.
I was sad to come to the end. I wanted more. I wanted more on the pack. More on John and the mysterious son of Boss. I pretty much wanted more of everything. I need a book two. I have had nowhere near enough of Marlena and Remy’s world.
