Effie girl
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this intro into a new shifter world. This
is a university setting RH shifter book. We have 5 alpha males (4 wolves and 1 non wolf) all with their own problems but they all are instantly possessive and attentive towards our FMC Effie. This book takes place in the span of 3 days where a lot happens. I have a lot of thoughts. I really liked it yet I was also really frustrated at times with it. So here we go
Pros:
The 4 MC’s Tore, Dakota, Caedmon, and Julian are instantly possessive and all about Effie our FMC. I love this because lately all I’ve been seeing is the rejected mate story line and this is definitely NOT that. I love books where the alphas don’t have to be jerks and reject their women which ours don’t do.
The men our all relatable in trying to work through some of there own issues while still caring and being attentive to Effie. They aren’t perfect knights in shinning armor but it’s clear they try hard to make her feel special and important to them.
The writing is flawless and it was incredibly easy to continue reading (literally finished this book in one sitting)
Cons:
There was so much more inner monologue than actually dialogue between characters. Usually I don’t mine this but while reading it (on my kindle) the monologue had like 4 whole pages in between two sentences of dialogue here and there. It was just irritating not getting much actually conversation. (I was I think 12% in to this book before there was an actually dialogue. It was all Effies internal monologue or flash backs)
The world building left a bit to be desired because I still have tons of questions mainly about the types of wolves but I understand this is part of the naivety store line but still
This whole book takes place in the span of three days. No big ah ha action packed moments happened until the very last chapter. A lot of it was build up for the next 4 books I’m sure but it’s still frustrating because coming out of it I still feel like I know relatively nothing about this world. Each guy is a different species of wolf get we know nothing about any of them other than Fenrir wolves can’t shift.
- 4.5 stars because I definitely will pick up the second book. Book 1 ended in a cliff hanger so I’m eager to see what happens. I hope we get a bit longer storyline though and allow it time to develop so we get more information over all. This is a good book and I definitely recommend giving it a try. It’s a good start to a new series.
