Narrative-wise, I have no idea why the human boyfriend was even there, for all the romantic interaction the two of them had, the human boyfriend could have been replaced with a close female work colleague/room-mate (and it would have made more sense). If she really loved the human boyfriend she had, she would never have cheated on him (not once but multiple times) with Clayton. The relationship isn’t even interesting, they spend the majority of their time yelling/snarking at each other, followed by badly written angry-sex, I have no idea what they see in each other and if a Writer is going to devote the vast majority of the book to establishing this relationship, then the MC’s romantic sub-plot needs to be compelling.Īlso, Adultery, one of my major pet-hates in a narrative, Elena was clearly not as interested in the human boyfriend (she kept having to be reminded to call him for fuck sake). ~Romantic Plot Tumor: The blurb presents the book as an interesting urban fantasy novel about werewolves with a possible romance side-plot, instead it is a shitty romance novel with a small badly written werewolf side-plot. Problems I had with The Narrative Structure and/or Plot: Please go check those out before you read this review How Male Sexual Entitlement Hurts Everyone by Jarune Uwujaren Queer Without Gender – The Thing We Don’t Talk About: Sex Abandon the only people who truly understand her new nature, or help them to save the lover who ruined her life, and who still wants her back at any cost.īefore I get into the review, I would like to post up a few links first: When a series of brutal murders threatens the Pack, Elena is forced to make an impossible choice. Betrayed and furious, she cannot accept her transformation, and wants nothing to do with her Pack – a charismatic group of fellow werewolves who say they want to help. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.Įlena Michaels didn’t know that her lover Clay was a werewolf until he bit her, changing her life for ever. She’s the author of the NYT-bestselling “Women of the Otherworld” paranormal suspense series and “Darkest Powers” young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. All efforts to make her produce “normal” stories failed. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers’ dismay. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. TRIGGER WARNING: The following review contains discussion of rape/sexual assault and child molestation, please don’t read if those topics upset you or make you feel uncomfortable.
