"Just a really good book, never thought that the story of "Little Red Riding Hood " and sci-fi could work well together, but they do!"

Jonathan Kent

"I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as the first, but it was still really good. My biggest grievance is honestly more of a “me problem” than it is an actual issue with the book: and that’s that I can’t read the words “alpha” or “beta” without cringing. Also, the alpha/beta/omega hierarchy in wolves was actually disproven. The theory was based on research by Rudolph Schenkel in 1949, but when he tried to replicate his experiments he found that the real reason some wolves obeyed others wasn’t because of a hierarchical structure, but because the “alphas” they were following were the parents of the pack. The “betas” and “omegas” were just cubs."

"Great progression of the story from the first book. I thought it was really interesting to continue the story through a different character’s perspective. "

"Kind of a change if pace from the second book, but once you get in the pace if it this book is a wild ride. Thorne and Iko are my favorite characters. I love their personalities. "
