My many thanks to mwade78 for looking me up after finding this book on my Wishlist. As I mentioned before I'd read books 3, 4, and I think 5 of this series, but hadn't read the first two. I knew at least this one had different main character, Elena, than the ones I'd read. I think I have to disagree with the previous reader about how undramatic Elena was through the story. I think this is what chafed at me the most and I just wasn't able to enjoy the story as much as I'd wanted to. The whole plot of why there are killings happening at her old home seems so far, so secondary to how she feels and how she just doesn't want to be like a werewolf that it seems just a waste of time covering them at all. So Elena does a lot of complaining about how she doesn't want to act like a werewolf and yet she doesn't think twice about acting like one even though I think she could. All the complaining reminded me of Louis of the Anne Rice books. I didn't care for it in that book either and much prefer Lestat for just getting on with it one way or another. Anyway, what got me the most was Elena's relationship with the werewolf Clay. This is the guy who betrayed her trust and love by biting her turning her into a werewolf to not lose her and turning all her dreams of normality into impossibilities. Yet she can't get enough of the guy. To me this is like falling madly in love with your rapist. I didn't buy it back in the day with Luke and Laura on General Hospital and I just couldn't swallow it here either. There's a zillion details given about how much Clay thinks about her and how he loves her for doing all these things for her that's supposed to, I guess, make the reader believe that really she should be with him. However, a crazed, obsessive stalker would have the same behavior and most people wouldn't think that was right. So all that drama plus the lack of mystery or whatever you call the convenient occurrences happening in the background that bring those two together, just didn't do it for me I'm sorry to say. I am grateful, though, for the chance to have read it. Thanks much. |
