Blurb:A kept secret. A life altered. A new journey.
Ariane lived her life one book at a time. She would never have guessed those books were about to change everything.
They led her to Orion.
Tall, dark, with eyes only for her. The rest of the world ceased to exist when Orion was around. But during a fateful ash moon, he shifted into a wolf. Ari thought she was dreaming, but she’d recognize those eyes anywhere.
Fiction became reality. Fantasy was actually history. And soon, Ari would learn her role in it.
A pack war was on the horizon, and she was the only one who could stop it.
Nothing would ever be as it once was, because Ariane was now part of the Avynwood Pack.
The concept was a good one, I really liked the whole life imitating art kind of book. And the beginning was pretty awesome because I have been to book events and the way it was portrayed was spot on so that was fun to read.
But the problem I had was there was so much telling. I’m not a fan of telling in general but I see where it would it be useful in certain genres. I don’t see any good reason to use telling in a paranormal. It really takes me out of the world and the lack of dialogue due to it ruins a story for me.
It also ended in a cliffy with no resolution. Big pet peeve of mine, you want to end a story in a cliffhanger, be my guess, but if you do not resolve the existing storyline prior to the end, well that’s a personal taste thing for me.
So, I won’t be reading the rest in this series.
