As the daughter of the Seattle alpha, Grace is expected to carve out her place in a shifter pack still reeling from the horrors of war. Only Grace has two major problems with fulfilling her father’s expectations: she’s an omega—meant to support, not lead—and she was born with her inner wolf caged, unable to shift. Determined to become the asset her pack needs, she’s spent her life training to steal a magical artifact rumored to have the power necessary to release her wolf.
Unfortunately, things never go as planned.
The theft triggers an enraged guardian, one that her inner wolf can’t seem to resist, and Grace realizes she’s in way over her head. She’ll need the help of a small but capable team to journey to a foreign land and track down a mythical tree.
Easy peasy for an outcast burglar with a fractured psyche, right?
To complicate matters further, her father is acting weird, her best friend just made out with her, and she’s pretty sure a dragon is on their tail.
Across the world from the only home she’s ever known, Grace must face the questions she never dared to ask. Deadly secrets begin to unfold, and Grace will have to decide: Is unleashing her wolf worth risking everything? - from Netgalley.com
I received this ARC from Netgalley at no cost and am providing an unbiased review.
Well, I am a bit surprised at myself, when it comes to writing down what I think about this book. It was pretty dang good! I like a good shifter/romancey read every now and then, and the plot desription lured me in as this girl COULDN'T shift, and she wasn't allegedly a 'high and powerful' in the pack hierarchy, but the LOWEST order... the Omega. Yeah, this is going to be interesting! Then there is a dragon, too? And secrets? Yeah, I had to read this one.
Needless to say, the pacing goes a little wonky at times. A little slow at the beginning, as the author is building the world and characters, and as it gets into the story, has to let up off the gas to fill in some background for events or other characters, but is cruising along well to the end. Though, I felt the end was a bit rushed, and felt like the author had to be at a certain spot within so much of a word count, that things just felt cut-off. Obviously can tell that there will be at least one more to this series, if not more. Would be considered a cliffhanger, but I feel I have a pretty good idea how this is all going to end out. I defintely would recommend, and I am actually looking forward to the next book(s) in this series.
