SPOILER FREE-ISH REVIEW

I enjoyed the book from start to finish. It was fun seeing Emily and Easton falling in love together. The book is pretty much insta love (which is kind of the case with many werewolves books since most of them are mated for life) and they both show high attraction to eachother. Seeing how their chemistry worked and the funny bits with Kevin the cat (you will love Kevin, I assure you). The book is exactly what Dakota Cockaday marketed as, a werewolf mafia with comedy bits on it but the good amount of serious moments and troubles as the story progresses.

Now, the reason this book is not a five star read is because of how Easton can get like at times. I understand his story and how he was decieved by someone else and how his paranoia got the best of him. But it also sabotaged himself in the process, making Emily untrustful of him. Made me loose hope in the fact that Easton would change or even show remorse for how he treated Emily because of his paranoia, which he didn't show much through the progression of the book. But this is only a thing I noted and that did annoy me a bit. The book and its ending are amazing in my opinion and its mostly Easton when he gets like this that annoyed me mostly
