  [...] La historia trata, claramente, de hombres lobo. La especie lobuna que ha creado Maggie me ha encantado. El hecho de que no todos sean felices o no todos sean infelices, el que una situación tenga distintas perspectivas y el que en ocasiones no todo sea blanco o negro, me ha encantado. Como no me gusta soltar demasiados spoilers en las reseñas, solo diré que, a este respecto, la autora ha hecho muy buen trabajo, y ha conseguido que me quede con las ganas de coger el siguiente libro (que ya lo tengo) y descubrir qué les ocurrirá a partir de ahora.

  La historia de amor entre Grace y Sam es «sencilla», un amor a primera vista que sobrevive durante los años, la falta de contacto y esperanzas. Ver cómo se van conociendo poco a poco, cómo Sam se va abriendo, verle sonrojarse... y seguir sin esperanzas pese a todo hace que todo sea mucho más real. Es una historia triste desde el principio, una historia que te hace entrar de lleno en su mundo y sufrir junto a ellos. [...]

  Beware infected with Twilightism...

  At first I thought this was going to be another Twilight copycat, what with the werewolves and all but its okay. At times I felt that it was a badly written version of Twilight sure, but if you give it a chance there is a nice story there.

  I do like the narrative style with one chapter from Grace ... (continue)

  I do like the narrative style with one chapter from Grace and the next from Sam. That style has always appealed to me in a book. Aside from that the wolves are described fantastically and you really get the feel for the woods and the surrounding area. Some parts are cringeworthy in their cliche's but it's hard to write a romance these days without a werewolf popping up somewhere isn't it?!

  No really if you enjoyed Twilight you'll like this. If you disliked Twilight avoid this like the plague.

  Overall this book is a sweet book and the concept of the wolves is lovely. I also love the two different perspectives, Sam's and Grace's and the temperatures at the beginning of each chapter as they added some dramatic impact to the story especially when it began to get colder.

  Overall this book is a sweet book and the concept of the wolves is lovely. I also love the two different perspectives, Sam's and Grace's and the temperatures at the beginning of each chapter as they added some dramatic impact to the story especially when it began to get colder.
  Though this book is good, it definitely isn't great and is lacking something in substance, especially with the plot which seems very similar the whole way through.
  I also wanted to see more from two characters the mum( as I thought she brought a good perspective to the story as she appears to see things in a different wag to every one else) and Shelby who I was expecting to play a bigger role in the plot with some evio Victoria from twilight-esque plans.
  Though it has many points I personally dislike I do suggest a read, but only if you like this kind of story.

  I was so disappointed with this book. It went on too long with the same things, and wasn't even super interesting at the beginning either, and the story was muddled and confusing.

  I was so disappointed with this book. It went on too long with the same things, and wasn't even super interesting at the beginning either, and the story was muddled and confusing. It took me a while to get a lot of parts. Although it did have some good deep sentences, I thought it was just a bad werewolf love book. This was upsetting because reviews about this book were "It's not like just any other werewolf book" but it is. Only bad. I wouldn't give this book to anyone.
