A review by lienwynvarras
Grayson's Mate by Tamsin Baker
Did not finish book.
Another book I'm not going to finish. It lacks world building to the point where I'm not even sure how the werewolf portion of the book works (to be fair, I didn't get very far, but still) and there's pretty much no exposition and very few descriptions. It felt rushed and incomplete as a result, with scenes unfolding like on a conveyor belt without affecting me at all.
I didn't really have time to get to know the characters before I dumped this, but I can't say I'm all that impressed with what I saw. I mean, sure, I get if Grayson's werewolf is possessive and all, but NOT taking his new mate to a hospital after a serious car accident is just stupid. What if he has internal injuries? Or a concussion? Or something else more serious?
Also, what even is this sentence:
Did he just dislocate the guy's jaw and pushed it across his face? And, sure, that will knock most people off balance, but why does it short-circuit his nervous system, of all things? And only down to his knees? I have so many questions and am so confused.
So no, I'm not going to continue. It's poorly written and I have other things I would rather read.

Also, what even is this sentence:
"Grayson leapt forward and hit the Beta's jaw, pushing it sideways across his face, short-circuiting the Beta's nervous system all the way to his knees."
