Thank you to Bloom, Leia Stone, and NetGalley for giving me an eARC of Wolf Girl in exchange for my honest review.

Wolf Girl is the first book in Stone's unique series. This book follows Demi, a werewolf whose parent's were Banished from Wolf City before she was born. As a result, Demi grew up cuffed, unable to access her werewolf side. While attending Delphi Witches' College, Demi has an accidental run-in with the Alpha's son, Sawyer. Sawyer is instantly drawn to Demi and before she knows what is even happening or who she even ran into, she is being taken away to Wolf City to attend college and participate in the Alpha's mate selection. While Demi is beyond confused as to how she even ended up in this situation, she is also thrilled. That is, until she learns that she is not an ordinary werewolf.

I really enjoyed this book. You cannot go into it expecting an adult fantasy romance series, it is truly geared for teens. If you go into it expecting an adult book, the character development and plot will come across as young and not fully thought out. However, as a teen/young adult book, this book is a really fun. Demi is thrown into a strange environment with absolutely no clue what is going on. Sawyer is constantly appearing wherever she goes and she cannot figure out why. The plot if fun and face paced, and the world building is great. This is truly a fun read that all readers can enjoy. While Sawyer and Demi's relationship feels super rushed, I loved the development of Demi as a character and her friendships even more than that relationship. She goes from being an outcast to having friends. She suddenly has access to her magic and is trying to navigate this new environment that her parents have told her nothing about, not even why they were banished in the first place. I highly recommend this book to all fans of Stone.
