Review
In the
first book of the Wolves of the Rising Sun series, Skye has left her abusive,
manipulative boyfriend and she’s headed to the bayou to take pictures, to relax
and to figure out her next move. Always attracted to the bartender at the local
dive bar, she and Jace could never be together since they were both seeing
other people. Now they’re both single and they take their flirty friendship to
the next level. Until Jace’s brother, Aiden, accuses her of being a traitor and
wanting to kill them.
The
romance and action happened very quickly in this novella, but the love felt
believable. The action with the bad guy at the end felt forced to me and I think
Skye accepted the fact that Jace was a werewolf a little too easily.
I prefer
books written in 3rd person but this 1st person narrative
caught my eye so I thought I’d give it a chance. The only typo I found was that
the author kept switching back and forth from how long Jace and Skye knew each
other before the start of this story. In one chapter, they’d known each other
for two years and, in the next chapter, it’s been three years, then it jumps
back to two years. Other than that, the book is very well-written.
