Helpful Score: 19
SO I really really wanted to like this...one because I'd heard good things about Dakota Cassidy. and two because the cover was really really cute...so it just had to be good, right? Well the axiom about never judging a book by it's cover has never been more true than it was for me with this book.
well, okay that's pushing it a little ...The hero was good...you know except for the whole let's not tell the accidentally turned werewolf heroine all the things she needs to know in order to be a good/accepted accidentally turned werewolf heroine. It might have been better had we had more from his POV, though as it stands it's like a 20 to 80 percent split, with the 20 percent from his perspective.
His immediate family (a sister and a brother) were nice too...I Wouldn't mind reading their stories (provided they're as little like this one as possible)
And yes there are funny moments...cutesy funny, but funny none-the-less. There's also quite a bit of cursing (so for those of you bothered by that, be warned)
Now why the book wasn't nearly as good as it could have been? The Heroine. She's supposedly 30 but ends up sounding like a 16 year old....And not just any 16 year old, but a ditzy one at that. She keeps zoning out, and as the reader we're subjected to the horrors of her mind...I had to keep skimming all the bits that took place in her head, (and there's quite a few of them) just to stay sane...
And the ending (the solution to the almost-mystery ) comes out of nowhere...If she'd built up to it, it would be one thing, but this comes so far out of left field you'd need a freaking crystal ball to see it coming.
I'll admit, I'll try another book by Ms. Cassidy but it'll take some time to forget the taste of this one, and it'll be with much lower expectations.
