TSTL heroine Abra Barrow is in a relationship with a cheating werewolf who can't keep it in his pants. She stays with him and even moves away from her career to keep him. It isn't until 3/4 of the book is complete before she gets balls and goes off with another man. Then the werewolf and his alpha bitch start trouble. It finally gets exciting at this point and is worth reading but a tad boring and annoying until then.



TSTL = too stupid to live

I can't believe I wasted 2 days reading this until the end. I tried to stick with it waiting for it to get better, but it didn't. The story had potential, but I ended up feeling so unattached and unsympathetic for the heroine, and disliking her husband, that I couldn't get into the story.

This book was a fast read. I kept turning the pages to find out what happened. The only thing I couldn't understand was why the main character would stay with her husband for such a long time. He was such a waste. I just kept waiting for her to get a clue. I did like the ending, but I think the Mercy Thompson series is better.
