SOMETIMES WHAT YOU COVET IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP.
-Goodreads
For werewolf Natalya Stravinsky, the supernatural is nothing extraordinary. What does seem strange is that she’s stuck in her hometown of South Toms River, New Jersey, the outcast of her pack, selling antiques to finicky magical creatures. Restless and recovering from her split with gorgeous ex-boyfriend, Thorn, Nat finds comfort in an unusual place: her obsessively collected stash of holiday trinkets. But complications pile up faster than her ornaments when Thorn returns home—and the two discover that the spark between them remains intense.
Before Nat can sort out their relationship, she must face a more immediate and dangerous problem. Her pack is under attack from the savage Long Island werewolves—and Nat is their first target in a turf war. Toss in a handsome wizard vying for her affection, a therapy group for the anxious and enchanted, and the South Toms River pack leader ready to throw her to the wolves, and it’s enough to give anybody a panic attack. With the stakes as high as the full moon, Nat must summon all of her strength to save her pack and, ultimately, herself.
So, we started with the summary today. Why? Because the summary sounds interesting and quirky.
Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of this book. The only character I found had depth and thought was interesting was Thorn, and that might be because he really isn’t in the novel a whole lot. Oh, he is there and a main character, but I could have done with a lot more of him.
And Nat? She has so much potential as a character, but ends up coming off as annoying a lot of the time. She thinks of herself as less than, and so do so many others. And the obsession… while kind of interesting, again, it just got to be annoying. I understand there are people out there who are like that. I just couldn’t relate to this one.
If you REALLY like werewolves or maybe you like reading about people with OCD, this could be a choice for you. Or if you can find it at your local library.
