Beasts

I just discovered this author with this book and I don't regret it !!
Beast was an awesome reading, a little bit confusing too, if I'm really honest .
We meet our main female character at the beginning and suddenly, the maain male character meet her too, and the next chapter, it's 6 years later, so ok, but kind of condusing for me not to have been warned about it !!
Other than that, the story is great, and the characters too.
I never really liked Selene's pack members and on the end, I don't regret not liking them, with the way the story goes.
I don't know if it's this author first book, but it was really good.

I was drawn to this book with the mention of werewolves, lycans and wendigoes. With a combination like that, I figured it would keep me interested. Also, I was looking for a good paranormal to "cleanse my palate" from some of my recent reads.

I found Selene, our heroine, to be relatable. Aside from the obvious fact that she's a supernatural creature, she battles insecurities about her family. She grieves the loss of her sister and mother intensely. All of the loss she's experienced makes her fearful of attaching herself to anyone else. It's almost as if she feels destined to be alone. However, she definitely isn't. She does finally meet her mate, but it takes a while for her to actually "meet" him. Yes, I know how odd that sounds, but it makes sense when you read the book.

I really liked the intrigue between the werewolves and lycans. Also, the dangerous element added via the wendigoes keeps the reader even more pulled into the story. I did want more history of the rivalry between the werewolves and lycans - - as well as some of the characters and why their attitudes were the way they were. I also really felt like there should have been a little more "heat" between Selene and her mate once they were finally together.

I was a big fan of some of the secondary characters. They added a lot of flavor to the story, in my opinion. Overally, this was a good story. I just felt that it needed a little more "something" to make it a great book. I would definitely read other books by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley for this review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Step into a world of Werewolves, Wendigos and Lycans. I really liked the concept of the story and was quite surprised that there was a long timeline involved. The story kept a good pace and you get learn quite a lot about the MC's and their supporting characters. My only frustration was that the ending did feel a little haphazard and I would have liked an epilogue. Overall a great PNR read.

I so much enjoyed Beasts! If you like fated mates, wolves, some drama and andventure - go get your beasts!

In the beginning, I really did not know what to expect. I started with Selene's story, was confused for the first few pages as where the hell I was and then ... I just got sucked into this amazing world. Selene was a wonderful female and a strong character who had endured quite a lot already. And on top, she was forced to leave her pack and eventually create her own. But, even though there were all those obstacles, she managed. And then she met her mate who rescued her without telling her who he really is ... and left her waiting.

I was impressed with the strength and trust Selene had in fate, even though along the way she doubted. But she managed and it was great to read about her becoming more brave and stronger. Once Sebestian came into view - oh my! He is just amazing and the dynamic between those two.. I could have read more.

The story itself is fast-pacing and full of adventures, betrayal but also friendship and trust. In my opinion there would have been still some potential to elaborate more on certain pack-members who left but overall it was a great read! Also loved the fact that we some chapters in Seb's pov :)

Anfangs wusste ich noch nicht, worauf ich mir hier einlasse. Ich hab die Geschichte mit Selene begonnen, war aber verwirrt, wusste nicht so recht wie was wo und plötzlich ... war ich gefangen und mittendrin! Die Geschichte hat mir mega gut gefallen, Selene war eine tolle Prota, welche so viel durchgemacht hat, aber immer loyal ihren Freunden gegenüber war. Ja, auch sie hatte Momente der Schwäche, aber das war alles gut so. und dann kam noch Sebastian. Oh mein Wolf - er war einfach nur klasse und ich fand die Dynamik zwischen den beiden mega.

Die Geschichte selbst ist kurzweilig, spannend und viel Abenteuer mit Betrug, Freundschaft und Familie. Die Liebe war nicht schnulzig und für mich gerade richtig. Besonders gut fand ich es, dass wir auch Sebatians Sichtweise lesen durften. Ein tolles Buch.

I love a good werewolf story & this one didn’t disappoint. A sexy love story, action, great characters & friendships. I really enjoyed it & I really hope there’s more to come.

Loved it. Such a well told story. It was short but well rounded and very well done. Anyone who is a fan of the supernatural will like this one.

i thought this was a unique take on a werewolf story, the characters were great and I really enjoyed the story. I look forward to more from the author.
