The Wolves Within

by M.E. Harper

Our birth defines our past. Our present defines our future. And our future is the gateway to eternity. For some, the past, present, and future are a perilous mix. But living only in the here and now proves dangerous for two people who meet and fall in love. Not only will their most fundamental beliefs be tested by each other, but people and circumstances will challenge them to rise above their own destiny. Surviving a catastrophic life event that spans years, Ariel Morgan finds herself starting life over on the streets of Los Angeles. After a disturbing nightmare, she comes face to face with the man of her dreams and is swept into the world of the affluent, even though she is determined to distance herself from everything that world represents. Fighting for her spiritual independence, despite the tempestuous relationship that threatens to consume her body and soul, she harbors a deadly secret that may ultimately cost her more than just her life. Noah Stanton never considered that he lacked anything in life. A child of privilege, he grew up in a world of political and social power. But his world begins to change when he meets a woman with ideas so radically different from anyone he has ever known that he actually begins to question his own ideologies. Torn between a desperate need to maintain his identity and his obsessive desire, he struggles with a path that leads him further and further away from the truth.

About the author

M. E. Harper, a first-time novelist, developed an interest in philosophy at an early age. This interest led to a study of life and how we, as fragile beings, are always seeking answers to the unknown. Although an avid reader and lover of books, the leap to writing was more like an epiphany than a conscious choice. Embracing that revelation, her work, The Wolves Within, became a "life story."

So when I first started to read this book I was hesitant. It was about older people and I had other things to read. I felt it a duty to read it, so I read it. Boy was I surprised! This book was utterly amazing. I couldn't put it down at all. The plot and characters danced a fluent and beautiful dance. I highly recomend this book to anyone who wants a good read!

This was a goodreads firstreads copy. I didn't rate it, because I couldn't finish it. I didn't want to add an opinion of a book that I didn't read. It was extremely hard for me to get into it, and I eventually put it down.
