This version of Hidden Moon is how Adam told the story. This series not only told how everything started, but told who were the main characters and how that influenced the overall story. This was not a normal shifter story, but it included magic and interesting magical characters. Not only do I recommend this story, but I recommend the entire series. Ms. Thompson is a very good storyteller. Enjoy!
Must of the scenes are duplicates from the first book from his POV, but with few insights. I know they're meant for teens, but there isn't a sense of falling in love so much as fate, and not a particularly emotional one at that. I read this one right after the first and it was just...flat. There isn't enough chemistry on either of their parts.
I always love reading the story from different point of views! Another well written story. You always learn new things reading the different PoV and that is what this is.
This is somewhat of a retelling from Hidden Moon however very different at the same time. Hidden Moon is from Nikki's point of view, The One is from Adam's point of view. It was really neat to learn more about what was going on on the wolf side of things when Nikki first moved to town. It's kind of like one of those things where you only here one side of the story, here you get to hear both sides. The author did a really good job making the story new yet you still had some 'ah ha' moments like I remember that from Hidden Moon. But the story is completely different. For those that have read the series you kind of already know the gist of the series story line. However, I enjoyed trying to refigure out how they found out the Trail Killer from another point of view.
I really enjoyed the books in this series. BUT to rewrite the first book in the series from the guys point of view was just a huge no no... was it good, NO, was it terrible, NO. It was BLAH...same story... nothing new. To me it was a waist of my time. You wanna read it? Well go ahead but just read the first book in the series and BAM you automatically read this one as well.
