I can’t resist seeking out new werewolf series, and this was quite an original take. The author has a good imagination, and I liked her writing, but the werewolves were a just little too wolfy for me. Silver’s pack don’t consider themselves human at all, even when they’re “in skin,” which is an interesting concept, but a difficult one to be consistent with in different scenarios. Vale did a good job of sticking to her premise most of the time, but the result was kind of weird, and not my kind of weird.
I did like Silver and Tiberius. Their love story was sweet, and his letter to her towards the end of the book made my heart melt. I liked them enough that I might peek at the next book just to see if they’re in it. Their keeping Ty’s dad a secret and causing the deaths of four pack members infuriated me, though. Ty could have come clean when Silver ran off to hunt his father, and I thought continuing to cover it up didn’t make any sense
The audiobook reader was decent. She didn’t knock my socks off, but she didn’t make me want to scream either. I liked how she did Ty’s voice.
Worth a read if you like werewolves and are in the mood for something different.

Nice world building. Good solid shifter read. A different set up from other shifter/werewolf stories. I liked it.

Cool world. Shame everything else is so sloppy. So many plot threads left dangling. So many reasons to dislike the hero (stupid, unimaginative, careless, chauvinistic, bigoted, whiny, selfish). So many ways for the heroine to maintain her inscrutable—and yet likeable!—mystique. (Though to be fair, she really is the most likeable character other than the hero and heroine of book 1 in the series. The members of this pack are highly off-putting. Except the pups.) Disappointing.

Most excellent :p Wolf/shifter/werewolf/birthing tale so well written it's believable. The MC is an unhappy lawyer wolf stuck in his skin working in the city protecting the pack's interest. On one case he meets a very unreceptive woman that is like no other, a human. I loved this romance, it was so different, no fluff, it was all rough edges. This pack is slowly developing into a fascinating family. Quirky individuals are coming out into the story, children are growing, times are changing. The pack is having identity troubles modern vs the old ways.
I like these characters, love the two worlds meeting. I can't wait for the next book
