The storyline was very interesting to me. How Elena is the only female werewolf and how it’s impossible that she even exists, but she does.
I actually stumbled upon the show before I knew this was a book and that’s what drew me to it. I couldn’t get through the show, but I thought the book would be better, and it is but not by a lot.
The pace of the story is decently fast, but the narration was jarring at times. There were moments she would speak directly to the reader or it would seem like I’m reading a teenagers diary telling of the events happening.
There were just some gaps that never really resolved for me in the story. I know it’s a series and perhaps those gaps will be filled later on, but I don’t think I will continue on.
If you like werewolves, independent and sassy heroines, a grumpy love interest and somewhat murder mystery this could be the book for you, as long as you don’t mind the narration.
