3 1/2 I really liked the premise. It was an easy read but some parts were just too cheesy. Everything seemed to go really fast.

I devoured this book when I was younger and decided to re-read it. I do think it shows that it's one of the first books by this author. I found a lot of repetition, something would be thought by a character, then repeated verbatim a paragraph later. But I still enjoyed the story, even if it didn't hit as well as it did when I was a young reader.

The werewolf concept in this book is definitely different from the stereotypical werewolf story line. I like the idea of "phasing" rather than the idea of changing once every full moon. Otherwise, the plot is too cliché and predictable for my liking. The characters have very readable dialogue but it doesn't seem realistic. It's hard to believe that every character is so quick to accept the whole werewolf story. Overall, it's a great book but I'm not too tempted to read further into the series.

I really liked this book. It was interesting enough for me to finish within a couple of days, though it still has its ups and downs. First off, Jen and Sally. They were absolutely hilarious with their sarcastic attitudes. Although sometimes I just wanted to cut them to get them to shut up. It seems they could not be anything else BUT sarcastic and rude. Another thing: the book was badly edited. Some things could have been easily spotted and corrected but weren't and that annoyed me. Last thing, I wish we could have gotten some background info on Fane. All we know about him is what he was like after he met Jacque. Which is possessive and obsessed with her.

Other than that the book was awesome! The pace was perfect and I loved the new take on Werewolves. The tattoo's indicating if they're dominant, mated, an Alpha or not, etc. I loved how much Jen, Sally, and Jacque all cared for each other. I also loved Fane's love for Jacque, even though it was because they were mates.

One more thing: How random was Lucas? Just out of the blue he tries to claim Jacque (who doesn't even know him) and I'm all like, "Dude? What the heck man? Where did you even come from and how do you even know Jacque?" That was never explained. Maybe it will be later on in the series, who knows? I don't. I do plan on reading the second book, Blood Rites I believe it's called. Maybe that one will go better than the first. Though this book was decent and I got it free for my Kindle so that was a big plus considering it was well worth the read.

Good read

I loved this book so much!!!! I died of cuteness. it is a great book and i can wait to read the rest of the series!!!!!!!!

This book has to be one of my favorite books. I own two copies of this. Quinn Loftis grabs your heart and pulls on its strings as you are sucked into this tale. It is one of those books, that if you have a hard time, you sit in a corner and read. It lifts your heart as you compare to these sarcastic, but surprisingly mature teenagers live through their lives and get to live the adventures we do not. I will live their adventures over and over again in the words of Jacque, Jen, and Sally.

This is an intriguing and enjoyable read. Quinn Loftis does a great job of telling an original supernatural story. You become invested in this group of sarcastic (sometimes overly so), snarky teenager girls and the characters surrounding them. There are some grammatical errors and a few other errors but I was able to overlook them and still become invested in the storyline. Overall the story had me hooked, I went right into reading Blood Rites (The Grey Wolves Series #2) ~ You can see that review HERE and look forward to book #3 in the Grey Wolves Series.

Disclosure: I purchased a copy of this book and wanted to share my thoughts and opinions with my readers. I was not compensated to write a positive or favorable review. This is Keeping Up With The Rheinlander's personal opinion.

I enjoyed this book. But the same time, I didn't really get it until about halfway it. Maybe not "get it", as in the story, but "get it" as in that instant connection between these two mates. It was just too fast, too underdeveloped. However, after getting to the end of the book, I realized this may have been because Loftis had a lot of ground to cover and just hit the ground running.

That fact, and being exposed to a new world, caught me off guard. It made everything a lot harder to swallow. But now that I've made it to the end, I could care less. I really did believe in the connection between Fane and Jacque. It was simply beautiful. Yes things did happen fast - very fast - but after the whole experience with Lucas Steele, and seeing how he behaved with Jackie, it just solidified the true meaning behind true mates in this story.

Now for the characters. I really liked Jacque. I sometimes have a hard time liking with female leads in YA books. Especially, since a great many are portrayed as a little bit silly, whine a lot, and make ridiculous, completely asinine decisions to just to keep the plot moving forward. That really, really irks me. But Jackie was spunky and had a firm backbone, which was awesome. Especially since she's eventually going to be an Alpha female.

Fane was a pretty hot, I have to say. I really liked his personality, and I myself, got giddy at the things he was saying in Romanian. Sometimes words, any word, just sounds hotter when said a different language.

I really liked all of the supporting characters: the helpful Henry's; Sally and Jen, Fane's parents, everyone. Sally and Jen especially brought a really great lightness to the entire story. Their relationship with Jacque was pretty refreshing, and hilarious, at most times. This story easily could've been very dark, but having these three wonderful, quirky characters - with all of their witty banter and all of Jen's sexual inappropriateness – in the story just made it more complete.
