It ended
on a cliffhanger
, which I wasn't expecting and didn't enjoy. That probably ties into some of the overall pacing problems I had with some story arcs. 

I wanted to try a werewolf/fated mate story, which was the main reason I read this. I liked Aurelia and the pack's relationship quite a bit. Weston was just kinda.... Generic Stoic Manly Man. He felt interchangeable.

I can't say I was overly impressed or interested in this particular story, but it did spark curiosity in another spin off genre.

I enjoyed this offshoot series focusing on wolf shifter Weston, as it offered some interesting world building from the perspective of the wolves. I also thought Aurelia’s involvement in producing drugs, the impact she unintentionally has upon communities, and her Stockholm Syndrome symptoms  was an interesting twist to the story. I do feel like the pacing is a bit slow — I was hoping they’d get to the dragon kingdom before the end of the book, but instead we’re left with a big cliff hanger. Likewise, some plot points, like her experimenting with the laces drugs, felt like it was forgotten by the end of the book. I’m assuming that will pick back up in the next book? I’m hoping that will be available on kindle unlimited too when it comes out in September!

I picked up this book, not realizing that there were several books in the series beforehand. So there was a little background what the side characters that I didn't fully grasp, but I still absolutely loved this book. 

The book was really fast paced and had enough diversity in it that it kept me interested the whole time. In fact, I read it in about a day and I'm itching to get to the next book when it comes out.

This was definitely a classic retelling of Little Red Riding Hood but with a steamy twist.
