Reviews

Twas ok.

[Chené Tuck · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is actually set from the story line from book 2, while Andreas is trying to figure out what to do with his feelings and protectiveness for her.

I loved that this is Andreas POV. Getting inside his mind was an exciting sneak peak. This novella was a sweet read, you get to see his thoughts and his true feelings for Ari.

I like the way Ally has included and split up the weretiger/wolf/bears


Plot, Pace, Writing style
As always Ally has a great writing style and great pace for this short story.

Final Thoughts: This is a nice little quick read between books.

I didn't realize there was a short story until I finished book #3, so this was out of order and I didn't really enjoy the reminders of our characters' behavior at that point in their acquaintance. But I'm not sure I'd have read book #2 if I had read this in order...

too short for my taste

[Shelle Pennington · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very short story, but it is wonderful to read things from 'his' viewpoint.

[Tracey · Rating 4 out of 5]

it was good to read things from Andreas point of view. it's a pity this is not done in the full stories as it help to understand both sides.
