Book Blurb:
I'm supposed to be a monster.
I grew up believing my mom and I were the only werewolves alive.
But then I learned about a town where men and women aren't wolves, but lycans: hairy monsters that are forced to change with the moon. And I would be like them, if not for my dad.
He discovered a cure, used it on me and my mom… and then ran away with us.
Questionable decision, right?
So I stole the research and headed into the town, determined to get the cure into the hands of the lycans.
But the town hates outsiders almost as much as they hate my family.
The only person who will even have a conversation with me is the hot guy who runs the town's diner, and he only talks to me when no one else is around to hear.
If the lycans find out who I am, they'll kill me. But if they don't, I'll never be able to cure them.
Regardless of my fate, I'm not leaving this town until everyone in it has a chance to take the cure… even if that means embracing the connection I have with the diner guy.
Because I think we might be fated mates.
Tropes:
*book challenge group -> werewolves *Fantasy *shifter romance *State challenge Alaska
*Fated Mates *Cozy romance *touch her and 💀 *Cliffhanger *protective MMC
Thoughts:
Kass (FMC) is awkward and shy around guys, she is a wolf shifter and honestly has been lonely, her mother never wants to tell her about her past or talk about her father who passed away before she was born but when she finds her father's old journals detailing the small town in Alaska he went to help with a cure for their condition where they turn into werewolves.
Going alone without telling her mom (who would be against the idea) she shows up to the small town expecting to be accepted by others like her (wolf shifters) and present them with the journals, learn more about herself and go from there... but as soon as she gets to town she finds the townspeople unwilling to accept new comers, she didn't get the warm welcome she was hoping for... but she's stubborn and not willing to give up that easily.
Keaton (MMC) is handsome... he doesn't want Kass in town either but he seems to be nicer to her than anyone else has been including letting her take a shower at his place... and occasionally feeding her at his diner... Keaton is drawn to her in ways he doesn't understand yet.
Can Kass trust anyone in this town? Her father's picture is on a dart board after all and no one is giving answers freely... but she does feel safe with Keaton.
Once Kass confides in Keaton who happens to have gone to school for chemistry (naturally... as this will help with working on the formula her father had created)... but will anyone in town be open to being a test subject, it's unconfirmed if this formula worked or not. Will the townspeople ever welcome Kass?
Ok so before you read a Lola Glass book you have to understand that these books all share similar characteristics (or at least the ones I've read have) --> nothing is that in depth the world building in these stories are usually basic but easy to follow, the character building is not that deep... I knew this going in so I wasn't expecting an epic shifter romance with great world building and amazing back stories.
That being said these books are good for if you are looking for a light, cozy, and fluffy read and I enjoyed it for what it was, I do plan to continue the series to find out what happens next. There were a few plot points that I didn't feel made too much sense with how things were going but I just went with it.
Kass is way too forgiving as far as I'm concerned she's trying to help the townspeople (who turn into Lycans and can't control their wolf form) as they actively destroy her items and attack her multiple times throughout the book... at some point I think I would have tossed the ingredients list at our man Keaton and left for a safer place to stay.
Once Keaton finally started to let Kass in he was really sweet and protective, Kass was still trying to figure out what they even were to each other so I'm sure this relationship will continue throughout the rest of the series.
Have you read this one? What did you think?
