The writing is atrocious and the story is not completed at all.

The author has too many spelling and grammatical errors. The narrative is clunky.
The author gives us useless information and focuses of brands. Tries to say the characters are billionaires 😂, yet they dine at steakhouses or a “stake house” as she wrote in one chapter.

The author is writing about teenagers who are meant to be experienced in running organisations and at BDSM. So if these 17/18 year old lovers are experience and renowned BDSM Dom’s, who have they been screwing if they are just kids themselves?

I wouldn’t waste you money on this one.

I love supporting up and coming authors but this book needs a lot of work; it was just all over the place. She started off with the plot it had the potential for a good story the author just tried to add to many elements and the book didn’t flow. First is was revenge against bully then BDSM, and then suppose to be an epic battle, and it ended with a different nemesis stepping in at the end. It’s was just a hot mess of a book.

I thought that this book was good

[Renee · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book had potential. In the beginning she is bullied and leaves her pack and mate behind as he was one of her bullies. However, she has to go back to the pack with her new pack to help her old pack. However, what started as a revenge/romance then takes several turns. Suddenly she has multiple mates who in high school are already alphas over their own packs, dommes, and own a nightclub. Then suddenly a dangerous enemy appears. This book is all over the place and is very unbelievable I just kept getting pulled out and questioning the book. Did not finish and do not plan to go back and finish book.

Where to start? This book starts off so well with so much potential. Some grammar and spelling errors but I can overlook that.
Then it got messy then REALLY messy. The plot line seemed to be thrown out the window. The main character going back and forth between her morals and changes so much just chapter to chapter.

Spoiler Alert
She starts off running from her pack after almost committing suicide and finding out her bully was her mate. Time passes she has to go back to train them (which went against the parents' "We will protect you" without a good enough reason). Where her mate (Erebis) says he WILL make her his. Then at dinner, she meets her second mate (Christian) who is more than happy to just roll over and give Amira to Erebis and "share her". Obviously, she is pissed backs off then later discovers her "brother" (brotherly figure) is ANOTHER mate that had a hidden bond.
(Thinking okay I can roll with this) He forces his mark on her which is a bit r*pey vibes but she moves forward trusting him. THEN he not only hands her back to Erebis and Christian he HELPS them force a mark on her. The protecting no one can touch her brother went to helping his mate have a werewolf version of r*pe. TOTAL character change.
Then we have a back and forth of Amira being NOT ok with the 3 men then being ok with them and then back and forth. Once we hit this "new big enemy" I quit. I'm all for supporting up-and-coming authors but this was a pay-per-chapter book and I don't recommend buying the whole thing (like I did). It HAD so much potential all in the first few chapters (hence why I bought all of it at once). Because it WAS going so well and then it seemed the author had more ideas than she knew what to do with and just kept throwing them in.
Also it was not really a "werewolf" book. Most have wolves that talk to them or at least show. For the most part they were in human form and honestly could've passed as a normal book with a witch instead of werewolf other than Amira's "I'm a white FUCKING wolf" comment every chapter.
NighttShadee This book had so much potential and I think if you rewrote it with a good solid storyline and strong characters who have their beliefs and morals they STICK to you could make some amazing books.

Audiobook on WeHear... I'm slightly confused, as to how this has ended. The voice actress is fairly good at reading, but her limitations appear to be a limited range of emotion which is largely comprised of frustration and anger. Lots of swearing, which appears to be the go-to for every thought. A reverse harem, all [neighboring] Alphas at that, with BDSM for icing on top. But that isn't the largest issue... the story revolves around a young female shifter who happens to escape her pack the day of her sixteenth birthday, when she'll be able to identify her mate(s), and escape the unending bullying she lived through there. So we have threads of story that run through her family of origin, her bullying by her brother and the eventual pack Alpha, the three young male shifters [brothers] who stop her suicide attempt and then help her escape so she can be adopted into their family in the neighboring pack, a briefly happy life where she discovers she's "special" and quite strong and fast herself...then we get into her discovering each mate and resisting each and every one. After quite a lot of resisting, she eventually gets on board with all that, but then a new threat appears on the horizon, very very dangerous... and that thread is never resolved. Weird. Instead another threat arises, entirely unexpected and easily overcome, and with the challenge risen to we finish our story... leaving a number of very large and very loose threads unfinished.

A curious winding tale, this one. The book cannot seem to make up it's mind what the actual story might be... either that or another book is necessary to complete it, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that.

Most of those reading apps are full of people that want to be writers, but haven't made it in the publishing world for whatever reason. The stories are almost always a hit or miss with me. Not many land in the middle. In this one the heroine was extremely immature throughout the entire book... This gives the impression that it must have been written by either a teenager, or by someone lacking any emotional maturity at all. She constantly throws her attempted suicide around as blame for everything to everyone constantly. It comes off as condoning something like suicide which is another way to show an irrationally immature mentality. Not sure why she didn't have the guts to just leave if she supposedly had the "guts" to kill herself. It looks like a weak persons cop out. Her thinking is annoying through the whole story. There are way to many elements pulled in throughout the story and nothing is fully explored or explained. Just a rush job which messes up the flow of the whole story. I barely made it to the end of this teenagers wet dream of a story, mainly just to see if there were any redeeming aspects, and it was completely free... Otherwise I wouldn't have stuck with it past the way she blamed everyone, including people that did nothing to her and hadn't even known she was being bullied, for what she did to herself. For me personally this was definitely in the "miss" category.

I really wish you would reconsider the way you ended this story. I was enjoying the story and would love to see where it could go. Don’t let the haters take away your gift of storytelling.

I’m part of several reader/author groups. All authors deal with a ton of criticism and it can be very overwhelming and disheartening. I can put you in contact with a few published authors if you would like. I wish you the best.

I love the book and I don’t understand the bad reviews I do wish I could get the book on kindle. Don’t get me wrong I don’t care to pay for books but I like my kindle better.



Also when is part 2 of this of this book coming out and wish u was on Amazon

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

I want to make it clear that I listened to this as an audiobook. Do not forget that fact as I explain my rating. I also want to mention that it is on WeHear, which is not reputable for doing great audiobook work, but I managed to get this one free and fast at the time. By the quality of that app, this is an outstanding story.

Anyhow!

I have listened to this audiobook for 58 hours, and the audiobook is 5 hours and 4 minutes. I found this book through an ad on Instagram, and although it centered on abuse, I found myself interested because I love rough topics. I love the hardships they go through in this book and liked the reverse-harem aspect of it. The character development feels good in the audiobook to me, as the FMC deserves to be angry for everything the pack has done to her, but with all the other emotions she experiences and the actions the other people ensue, I think it worked nicely. Perhaps it was confusing to other readers, but I understood why. I understood the conflict.

Now, here is the hard truth. I love this audiobook, but if it wasn’t free, I wouldn't think this was worth it. At most, this is a $6 audiobook because of the narrator. WeHear is overpriced just as much as Dreame and Inkitt, not to mention the many other apps that follow the same coin/credit-based system.

I was confused by this book. Setting aside the numerous typos and grammatical errors, it had elements that could have made for a great story. But it was poorly executed and seems to be incomplete. It doesn't make sense as a story about teenagers that are still in high school for the entire time. When the author did a fast forward, it should have been a longer one that went past graduation. To help myself, I just pretended she forgot to mention when the main characters graduated (and ignored some were seniors and some were juniors).

It also seems like she started one storyline, then switched to an entirely different one at the end, never going back to fully explain the first. Is Chapter 37 really the last chapter?

I think the author was going for a Fifty Shades / Twilight vibe, but she didn't quite make it. With some serious refining and an editor, the author could make this into a series that is better than either of those two. I hope she continues to work on her craft.

[Inderia Taylor · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book could have had potential if it wasn't all over the place. We had one bad guy then very end of book there is a second one when the first one wasn't even dealt with. What the first person wants doesn't even really make sense and then the second person there's absolutely no way what he wants is ever going to work out the book was just really a mess and all over the place it's like they had an idea and started running with it got another idea and forgot about the original idea the main character her aggressive behavior in some instances were just too much for no reason

[Mary Garcia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is great. Love the strong female lead. Very happy that this female lead did not decide that death was the answer. Being strong is a choice and some may need to pray and give thanks to the people that have helped them. To have so many people that can count on you and your abilities. Being a strong wolf is the best that can be.

[Ren · Rating 1 out of 5]

I only read what they posted in the Facebook ad. I am somewhat curious about the storyline, but overall, I have no desire to read it because it reads like a child telling their parents a story they made up.

[Courtney · Rating 2 out of 5]

All the potential in the world, the developing storyline was interesting and had the makes of a wonderful novel; however, I never could become engaged with my attention fully invested. I will definitely have to give this story another try later on.

[Suzy Says · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was prepared to give it a 5 Star, but the writer got pissy because people were critiquing her writing and she end the book abruptly with several major threads/conflicts left unresolved. People who were rooting for her and the characters were not pleased including me!

[Jay Mejorado · Rating 3 out of 5]

Suspenseful. I liked it a lot.

[Brenda Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book. Narration could be better

[Michelle Dahmous · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was really enjoying the book the boom over. And I kind of odd ending at that.. like why just why did it stop Soo soon ?

[Rebecca Ogg · Rating 2 out of 5]

It had some good parts but did not end with the epic battle it should have had! Ending was horrible dull for the build up. Not sure if the author got bored or what! It was kind of a waste of timeW

[Heather English · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was good but could have ended a bit different.

[Beth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Both spicy and action pact. Read in the Dreame app. I never paid; just had to watch a lot of adds.

[Crista · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read this book on one of those ‘pay per chapter’ apps.

Gah! What to say about this book? I started reading it due to all the hype of it on the app, but I didn’t like the female lead, she was so full of herself, if I had to read one more time about her being bullied or attempting suicide (not good things at all) or her being a white wolf I was guna loose it. And then every other person ends up being her mate??? Really??? The book jumps around at the end, the main protagonist completely switches, chapters are not finished, by the authors own admission she was over this book and moved onto other things. Wouldn’t waste your time, try the authors other work not this one

[Tracy Hebert · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this story, didn't like the ending. Left me feeling like there was more.

[IamFed Williams · Rating 1 out of 5]

Horrible ending main character is annoying and arrogant. Had potential but fell to come through as a complete story.

[A. Link · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book has so much more work that needs to happen. I hate how she has so many mates this is just too much. The book was all over the place. No real ending.
