I really, really wanted to like this book. The storyline was intriguing, as were the characters.

However, I kept thinking "huh?", what's going on?

I understand that authors want to keep their readers in suspense throughout the book. This book just left me puzzled. No clue throughout the book as to 'why' things were they way they were until near the end. And then, it still didn't clear up matters.

Why did the other pack members decide to kill Natalya out of the blue one evening but later in the book we find out that the Pack Alpha of the other pack is 'out for her' and has been for a long time? Why did it take him 5 years to find her when she hasn't been hiding?

Another 'why' is that she's out of the pack & gets the crap treatment from her family & then miraculously they're all treating her wonderful. And, she's still not pack. Don't get it.

The list goes on.

Since it was a library book, maybe I'll TRY to read the next in the series. Maybe the writing will get better.

I enjoy reading books where there is more than one supernatural creature in it if it's relevant. In Coveted, Madison does an impeccable job of world-building, making the other supernatural creatures, such ans wizards and nymphs, a great addition to the storyline. Nat's ex-boyfriend, Thorn, left her over five years ago, but she's never gotten over him. She turned her attention toward obsessively hoarding Christmas ornaments.

If that isn't bad enough, now the pack, that she's out on the outs with, is being attacked and she's their first target. Luckily, Thorn has returned to town to resume as the Pack's Alpha and can try to help keep her safe, but can she keep her heart safe? She still hasn't come to terms with his abandonment from before, she's not sure if she's ready to get close to him again and risk it, even if the same spark is still there.

Coveted is a page-turning read with engaging and compelling characters! Action, romance, humor and creative writing merge together into an exciting read that paranormal fans are sure to appreciate! I really enjoyed it!

Nat is a lone werewolf. She was cast out of her pack. Now she sells antiques and (hoards) collects all kinds of Christmas/holiday decorations. She also has OCD. Complications arise when Thorn, her ex, arrives back in town.
I did like that Nat's OCD wasn't played for laughs and it was part of who she was. I didn't like how she was treated by her former pack, nor did I like how hung up she still was on Thorn. He had so much power over her even when he wasn't around and I hated that. I did think the werewolf turf war could have been better explained (my main issue is it was glossed over why Nat was a central target). The world was interesting (it's not just werewolves, but all kinds of supernatural beings).
Nat was an okay character; I felt she was judgmental at time and could have been more supportive of her friends. I hated Thorn. To really like a book (and want to continue to read the series) I have to like the love interest too or at least read something redeeming. Pass on the next.

Coveted felt somewhat disjointed. Natalya is a werewolf with issues. I could empathize with Natalya and her issues but felt like I was missing parts of the story. We learn about things later than it seemed we should, the story didn't flow the way that seemed normal. Overall the book was okay, I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. I will give the next book a shot - it could suck me in and never let me go.

Mixed feeling after reading Coveted. There were a few times in the beginning I was just going to ditch it for something else, but I forced myself to at least read the first 50 pages. While I didn't love the story, I'm glad I finished the book. It definitely had some great moments and Nat and her friends grew on me. However, I didn't care for Thorn or his way of treating Nat. I rather hope we see more of Nick in the next novel, Kept, instead. Overall, this was an okay read and the series shows potential. I'm going to start Kept next, which will determine if this is a series I'm going to follow or not.
