Alpha by Rachel Vincent

5.0

Well - there it is. In all it's guts and glory.

This series took me 4 years to finish. Yep, you heard that correctly. Four. There was no specific reason for it. I didn't dislike the series. In fact, I loved this series so much.

I thought about actually writing a review for this book, because in all honestly, it's such an old book that I didn't think there was a need for it. But, for myself I knew I would have to write about my thoughts and feelings so that another 4 years down the road I can be reminded of how this book affected me.

Let's start with Faythe. She has been one of my favorite female leads for years and I will be officially adding her to my "best female leads of all-time" list. The hate, revenge, sadness, and gut wrenching feeling that this girl had to go through in this book was at an entirely new level. I felt every single emotion right along with her. Fury doesn't even seem to cover how I felt almost 70% of the time, while 20% was heartbreak and sadness and the last 10% was happiness and love.

The relationships, alliances and war were all laid out for the entire universe to see. Tons of bloodshed, tears and trust completely exposed. Faythe, Marc and even Jace were put through the biggest test of their lives. Hell, the entire were-cat pride was put to the test. I am happy to say that although some decisions that were made, were not my favourite, it ended in probably the best way possible.

I love Marc on such a different level than I did with Jace - and for that I could only hope and pray Faythe made the right decision.
SpoilerThank god she stayed with her sole mate. Which I really truly believe was Marc. Her and Marc until the end!


Another amazing series from Rachel that I will re-read and remember for a really long time.
