Bought it on Kindle for $5 since it would be cheaper paying per chapter on Galatea. Turns out it’s only half of book 1 and I thought it was the whole thing. Guess that’s what part 1 means. I will say you get all of the books for free on Galatea from a link provided inside the book. Not the most well written and Belle gets on my nerves but a fun little read. I will most likely finish it on Galatea as I’m invested as to where the store will go from here.

Omg this book was so addictively good! I started it from a Galatea ad within one of my phones games. It was so good I decided to download the Galatea app to continue. I didn’t want to pay for a Galatea subscription so I bought the book on Amazon kindle, but it wasn’t the full book. However, it did provide links to read the rest on Galatea for free.

I was so invested that I couldn’t stop reading. Belle got on my nerves sometimes, but I loved it nonetheless.

Nicely written

But I only give it four stars because it's like an advertisement, and I'm not appreciative of that. If you're going to put a series even one book on Amazon Kindle is a whole thing should be here instead of advertising to go to another subscription. I had Galatea at one time before, and it was extremely expensive and I can't afford it. I read a lot! But Galatea is annoyingly expensive and frustrating and I don't need the frustration. I wish you luck!

Yep you read that right, I devoured this book in one day!

Reading this reminded me of my days on Wattpad and reading the most craziest things at an age I defiantly shouldn't have been reading that kind of stuff.. IYKYK.

I love these types of books so much, an easy read, complete tension the whole way through. The plot twist really twisted me because it was so effed up I was so excited for it to be over.

If you want a wholesome situation between a werewolf and a human this book is for you.

But I did fall for it, after years of never being able to finish books on Galatea. I fell for the subscription and paid for it.... AHHHHH. But look now I have endless books for a year

I got sucked into a Galatea book and ended up paying for the subscription. Most of the books I’ve come across read like teen fan fic, so when I come across a really good one is REALLY stands out. And wow did this ever stand out! Draws you in from the start, perfectly addicting plot twists, heartbreak that literally makes your stomach go in knots, and sexy scenes that make you need a moment😜 I ended up buying the paperback set because I want these on my shelves!

This is the first book I started reading and I can’t get enough. The pacing is spot on, characters are beautifully written, and I’ve cried several times (so grab those Kleenex). This is definitely one of those “just one more chapters” kind of read. Annie Whipple brings to life this incredible story.

A Good Read

I enjoyed this story, but don’t love being left on a cliffhanger like I’m mid-story. I prefer series that wrap things up but leave room for more. This just stops in the middle of the story. It’s good though. Outside of needing some editing, it’s engaging and emotional.

Pretty decent read! I’m not really a fan of werewolf romance but the story was good, kept me on my toes.


Unfortunately, I didn’t know this was apart of a series and although I’d like to finish it, not sure if I will since I can only find them in this app that is extremely overpriced. The first book is the only available one to purchase on kindle.

confusing

… seriously not great … the Galatea books are heavily advertised but poorly written. This is no different, the female lead is all over the place, there is almost no character development for the male lead.

[Lady Remdragon · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don’t get the hype for this “book”. I had old points on Galatea so I decided to use them on this one but really… the writing is so bad I just can’t. I wasn’t expecting vampires with “gifts” tbh, but since the plot twist took me by surprise in the end I’m feeling generous and giving one 🌟

Wish the series was on Kindle

I totally would read this series and I’m sure a lot more would to. I just will not spend more money on an app. I would end up paying way more than what it would cost to purchase the books in whole

I read this in two days it was so good.

Horrible ending!

The story was getting really good and then BOOM…..it just ended. I spent $4.99 for a portion of a story? Never again!!!!!!!

Enjoyed this fast paced, easy to follow story!

[lvcahoon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great read! This book catches you right from the beginning and keeps going. There’s a part two book that’s awesome, too!

[Eva · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lo leí en español en Galatea, y me encanta. Me lo he releído unas cuantas veces. Ojalá lo publicarán en físico en español. Para mí es un 5 ⭐

[Stephanie Huston · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading book 2 now. I was angry, frustrated and super focused on finding out what happened. You feel for the female lead. Love, lust, betrayal. Read these books!

Good story

I really enjoyed reading this story. I couldn’t get enough of Bella and Grayson. I can’t wait to read part two.

This is… absolute trash and I’m fully invested and here for it.

This is such a great story, but the second book is not digital.
