Predictable and slow paced.
Way too long
Must read i loved this book, will buy the series, great righter.
Very long read, took me a while to get through and I normally can finish a book in 2-3 days. It took me longer because there were just so many words…. too much….
Could not get past the first chapter.
The story is damn addictive. You can publish it on N0velStar,
Not good
I could not connect with this book.
Great read.
This book was incredibly different and more out of the box than most books have been for me. I believe this to be my first time reading one of Claudia King’s books and I can tell you it won’t be my last. I am soooooo impressed with all the characters and thoughts that went into this book to make it worth reading all the way through, I was constantly wondering what was going to happen next which is rare because once the build up of a story passes through the middle of a book it will only go on to boring me the rest of the read through and then I wonder why I picked up the book in the first place. In this book it continues to surprise you over and over, the ending was a beautiful bitter sweet ending with so much more to be continued and I can’t wait to turn my attention to the second book. With Claudia you dont miss the powerful emotions built into each and every character, even with the emotions of love and passionate embraces to be read. Truly amazing book and I highly recommend it’s been yrs since I gave a 5 star to a book…. I judge my books very harshly usually because of a dumb girl, sex is awful, or the author has no real imagination. GREAT JOB Claudia, very impressive.
Hated to see it end! This needs to be made into a movie!! Would be a wow!!
Spectacularly written! I was lost in the wonderful world the author created, mixing a historical fiction setting with paranormal shifter elements. The plot was well developed as well as the main and supporting characters. I normally do not like love triangles because I always root for the underdog- and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the underdog wins! Unlike most of my paranormal reads, I took my time combing through this book because the plot and twists were way more elaborate. This was not simply about wolf shifters and some sexy romance; it was about a young girl who is torn from the life she has always known and thrown into an existence where she must use all her wits to survive. There were several underlying themes that allowed for the reader to become engrossed in the storyline and follow the evolution that several of the main characters made. While survival was the most resounding topic, there was also love and various incarnations of love, along with hate, and the various ways it can lead to a person’s undoing. The author does a great job in allowing the reader to enter the mind of each character and get an inside look at what motivates them to exist. The main heroine is Netya, the Alpha’s concubine, and while she starts off as a simple maleable young girl, she makes a magnificent transformation, invoking her inner strength and developing her latent talents to not only survive among shifter wolves but to come out on top.
one of the best stories i’ve read in a long time.
Love the book so much, had to read the entire series!
For an erotic novel it had more story line than expected but it was good & I had a hard time putting it down.
This book was not what I was expecting and that is a good thing. Usually, these stories tend to get a wee bit formulaic after a while but not this one. Great world building. Loved the development of the lead female character. Very pleasantly surprised.
Thought-provoking. Clan of the Cave Bear with shifters, but much more “modern”. The character interactions, selfishness, egocentricities, status seeking versus protection of individuals, protection of the group as a whole. Very intricate dances between emotion and position, desires and necessary actions, leadership and enmity.
I have got to get the next one as soon as possible! I love this series! Already!
Great read. New author for me, one I will be reading again.
REALLY ENJOY THE BOOK .. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
