raised by wolves book jennifer lynn barnes

I finished the novel really wanting to bash his face in for masking his actions as love. I think Callum gets off really lightly for his actions. Often, her writing didn't always convey what I think she felt it would and the climatic end needed to be more powerful in its deliverance. There were times when I felt like she kind of got lost in writing things that didn't make sense.

Well, for starters, Barnes needs to clean up her prose a little. So why wasn't this book a four star read?

Now this is where the story really picks up because Bryn starts to take matter into her own hands and I really enjoyed her journey from brainwashed pack member into someone who realizes that maybe it's not okay to beat someone who's not legally allowed to drink - just because she didn't follow every rule perfectly. Unfortunately, her adopted human-yet-married-to-pack mother packs up Bryn and her four month old twins, flips her husband the bird and moves her family as far away as she possibly can. repeatedly until she suffered cracked ribs, seven contusions, four lacerations, a concussion and passed out for three days. She totally knows they're justified and was all ready to start telling people she tripped. Now, Bryn knows that she's deserved this and rightfully brought the anger of the pack down onto her little, barely-pubescent shoulders because in a moment of stress she broke a small, tiny, insignificant agreement she had with a leader. So Bryn has been a very bad girl and in pack society, this is the perfect opportunity to exercise their rights to BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. It is highly reminiscent of the Mercy Thompson series and some of the descriptions about pack running reeked of Bitten.īryn gets in trouble when a 'bitten' boy shows up and she and he both discover they were attacked by the same rabid werewolf. There's nothing particularly original about the portrayal of werewolf society in this novel. Raised by Wolves is rather predictably about a human girl, Bryn who is. In fact, I really want to give it four stars just on principle.īut, no, that would compromise my ethics.Īnd that's like Spiderman deciding to turn into a giant, flying douche evil. I think it's one of the first times I've ever really cursed GoodRead's refusals to allow half stars because whilst this wasn't QUITE a four star read, it was definitely more than a three.

I actually had a massive struggle to be-star this book in an appropriate manner.
