Werewolf Draco AU. Breeding kink. Lots of smut and violence. There is a sequel WIP that is going to be dark.

It just feels flat and lacking in depth? The story doesn’t really fully explain about the how and why, and it pretty repetitive.

The plot is interesting, but the execution was so-so.

3.5 rounding down. Here’s what I liked:

I loved the moments between Draco and Hermione, and it’s clear the author thrives in this area. The intimacy, the slow burn, and the heart wrenching love for one another made my insides melt, and quite frankly made it hard to pull away from the story. The concept is unique and fascinating, and the author painted a lovely image of a world entirely their own.

That said.. here’s what I didn’t like:

The editing! There were countless spelling errors peppered throughout all 28 chapters. So many that I probably wouldn’t have bothered finishing had it not been for the well written romance. Aside from this, sometimes the writing came off as lazy, like a school paper you’re trying to force your way through the night before it’s due. Other times the writing felt clunky and could’ve used editing.

Overall, the romance is what I came for and it delivered!

I really wanted to like this one because the premise was so great, but ugh…while Draco was amazing, Hermione was an idiot and annoying. Plus the final battle was completely rushed and I didn’t like that Draco didn’t really get a chance to shine in the end- other than the bit of revenge. Also- call me old fashioned or whatever but I absolutely hate it when fics hyphenate Hermione’s name to granger-malfoy. Hermione can be strong and independent and also carry the malfoy name alone. To me, BAMF Hermione is best when she’s also soft and feminine. 2 stars.

This was so OOC for Draco and Hermione. It wasn't good, but I ate this up like a buffet spread. I couldn't stop reading, so this is 100% addicting and readable. Is it great and high-brow fanfiction? Absolutely not, but it was entertaining for the moment that I read it.

I give it a solid 3 stars. Alpha Draco was perfect though. He was so protective and possessive I was just swooning. The writing was fine, nothing bad but nothing great. I read it in one sitting so it definitely kept me entertained but I wouldn't classify it as a reread.

This fic threw me, I won't lie. Werewolf Draco is officially my favourite. It was just the right amount of wild and scary with a brilliant battle and an abundance of frisky business.

My first werewolf Dramione. I loved it!

Creo que es el primer fanfic que leo donde Draco es hombre lobo (Don't Look Back de onyx_and_elm no cuenta porque sigue activo).

Es una historia relativamente corta. Se basa mucho en el smut que contiene. Y todo esto es a partir del "sacrificio" de Hermione. Decide tomar una por el equipo (aka la Orden del Fenix) y hacer lo que se necesita para tener de aliados a Draco y su pack: un hijo.

Me gustó mucho el twist que se le dió ya para el final, cuando Hermione, con su propio poder, logra poder tener control de un pack, fue como que "que loco" pero a la vez pues tiene sentido jajaja la imaginación no tiene límites.

Adicionalmente, recordemos que en el canon, Lavender Brown es atacada por Fenrir, en muchos fanfics, ella se hace hombre lobo, semi-hombre lobo (como Bill Weasley) o muere. En este fanfic es hombre lobo y me encantó su personaje jaja fue entre comic relief y un muy buen personaje para Hermione viviendo entre el pack.

The first Dramione werewolf fic I ever read. Hits every time. Unexpected but kinda expected villain. Hot. Steamy. Feral Draco.
