[Catherine Green · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, and I was excited to read an alternative werewolf story set in medieval Russia. Honestly I was a little disappointed with the book. It did not feel authentically Russian to read and could have been set in medieval England, apart from the names of towns. I found it difficult to connect with the characters but I did appreciate the strong female lead, and of course the werewolf story was fun. If you like classic monster stories then I think you will enjoy this book.
