From her dry sense of humor to her kick-ass attitude, she really didn’t take shit from anyone. If I’d had a really good comeback, I’d have said it anyway, but I didn’t, so I kept my mouth shut. I opened my mouth to make a smart comment, but Darryl caught my eye and made a cutoff gesture with his hand. I want him to flirt with her or be somewhat suggestive with her or hell, I dunno, be possessive or some shit.

Like, he always treats her like he should as pack leader-with respect….and I don’t like that lol.

I think one of my other problems is a contradiction of my earlier thoughts….I like Adam and Mercy’s dynamic, but I don’t.

THOMPSON, it said in heavy block letters, PLEASE KEEP YOUR FELINE OFF MY PROPERTY. So if they got together now, where would the fun in that be? Unless they broke up….and that would be no bueno-NO GOOD, I TELL YOU! MS. I have found recently I like more build-up than I do instant gratification, because these series tend to stretch out-seven books in this one, to be exact. But here, now, I want nothing more than to see Adam and Mercy become an item… eventually. I think back in the day (bahaha a year ago) I would have probably rooted for Sam. Sam is an old flame from back when she was 16, and Adam is the local pack leader. I loved seeing the tension between the three main people-Sam, Mercy, and Adam. I know, I know- Bad, Chelsea! but come onnnn I love the build up of the romantic angst between multiple characters and what’s to come in the next installments from said characters. I get bored easily and distracted at the drop of a hat…so I wanted a little more development in other areas…romantically, if you will. I don’t care about the origin of all the wolves’ lives and I don’t care that there is a hierarchy among the pack…like this was all so beautifully done and not many people could complain about the world building but I’ve never been one to need lots of world building. But then there were those moments where the author was building the world and the atmosphere and I couldn’t help but want to skim. Now that I’ve read it, I can honestly say with absolute certainty….that I’m still on the fence. It’s one of those books I’ve held at arm’s length because I can’t decide if I would like it or not. Maannnnnn have I waited forever to read this. Some cliches are cliches because they work.
