Cons:
1. The book felt dense, but not particularly in a bad way. However, it was dense without much happening. A lot of the plot is internal conflict, which is great, but I'm not sure if some points needed to be driven home nine-thousand times.
2. Rude to make the pinnacle sex scene the epilogue!!! Fan-service me a little. But so worth the wait. (This point probably doesn't belong in the "con" list).
3. I think in order for the main villain to be as "bad and scary" as the characters make him seem, we needed to see him do something terrible on screen. I don't know. I knew he was a horrible person, but I didn't see him do anything "horrible" enough on screen to really merit that. But the villain isn't really the point of the story.
4. I love witches and werewolves and vampires etc. But I feel like sometimes when you start throwing all these monsters and themes together it just feels "over-done." I'm still deciding how I feel about the witches being a part of this story. I know the sequel deals more with the witch as the main character, so maybe that will help me to understand why witches are so important in this universe.1. It's a gay romance that's not hokey. I'm not even sure if it's REALLY a romance -- I guess I haven't read that much romance so I can't be the judge of that.
2. If it IS a romance, the romance I don't really think takes center stage. I mean, the main character thinks about his "significant" other quite often, but it's not all pining and annoying. However, it is angsty. There is a LOT of angst.
3. I loved the writing style. I loved the choppy paragraphs (if they can even be called paragraphs). It was very stream of consciousness and I don't read enough books written this way and I SHOULD, because I love it. It makes it a whirlwind to read.
4. I loved the science of how the alphas worked. I think it was done in a way that many other werewolf stories tried to tell, but didn't quite get the "feeling" of it. I felt it.
Final Score: 5/5
