*NO MAJOR SPOILERS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS REVIEW**
I enjoyed this book more than the first, probably because i had no prior expectations and went into this 'blind'. I really enjoyed the storyline, even if once again, it felt fast, then slow, then rushed. I am getting a bit tired of the author having a really banging ending but not following through with outcome. :/ its very unsatisfying. I also wished Gage and Clara had more time to work through their trauma, especially gage. One moment he is making a breakthrough with trauma then the next its like its no big deal. :/
I did like Clara, she was both introverted AND strong willed and loud when needed. The perfect combo, honestly. I like that she was also willing to compromise and comfort her mate when he needed. I had not heard much about her in the prior books so it was refreshing to get a new character in a way.
My heart went out to gage entirely...so, so much. That man had been THROUGH it, you guys. I just wanted to cuddle and coddle him up and never let him go. He is so strong and I think it would of also been amazing IF he had to be an alpha. But i do have a problem with how quickly another conflict was resolved. Surely that deserved more angst and more tension, not just within 5 minutes its all done. **sighs**
Either way, this is an enjoyable listen and I really liked Clara and Gage's story. That being said, I think I am getting wolf/author fatigue, so I will not be continuing the series for now. I may pick it up later though.
