The things I liked about this book, I really liked. The things I disliked, just don't work for me personally at all.
To start out with the good: good writing style, good pacing and very interesting characters and pack dynamic. Sex scenes were also great and the concepts were interesting.
The problems lie with the fact that multiple POVs are hard to juggle even if there are only two dominant ones. The POVs from other pack memebers were useless in the plot progression and offered no useful information which slowed down the book and made it unnecessarily long. Also I would have liked more dialogue.
All in all, I like this writer so I'll read more from her and hopefully her next work will be more compact.

Not for me, and in serious need of content warning.
I DNF'D at 18%, at the moment an on page full on SA happens without warning. This book was really not for me for other reasons too though. I usually enjoy dark romance, feral dynamics and characters that are ''other'' but in this book everything was OTT, black and white oversimplified issues and somewhat one dimensional characters.
After the MC woke up and yelled ''He raped me, it was rape'' without even a minute of confusion and the instant decision for the expulsion and near death beating of the crying submissive boy who did the SA (that everyone instantly agreed with)... Not enough nuance and no space for complex emotions, everything cut and clear in an instant. I couldn't fathom reading how the aftermath of the rape would be handled for the MC and the MCs mate... Maybe I'm just too close to it because I've worked with SA survivors and I know it's never that simple, but I'm of the mind that using SA as a plot device have to be handled delicately, and with respect to the complexity of this type of issues, and that's not how this book felt to me.
Might just be a me thing though, to each their own 🤷
