For the Wolf

 

The lovely cover, interesting title, and unique synopsis drew me to For the Wolf. It is rare I buy a book but For the Wolf seemed to have all I was looking for in a story. Sadly not everything is as it seems. 


Red knows that her time runs short, as the second daughter she must enter the Wilderwoods before her twentieth birthday or the world will have shadow creatures released upon it. Neve knows her younger sister's duty but hates her for embracing it so fully. Unable to convince Red to run from her destiny Neve ignores her duties as the heir to the throne and instead tries to focus on how to bring Red back. Terrified and unsure what awaits her in the Wilderwoods Red enters half expecting a monster to be in the keep. Instead a lonely being who appears human inhabits the keep. Eammon has a lot of secrets and none of them will he share easily.


Everything about For the Wolf was a mess. The writing was sloppy, choppy, did not transition smoothly, and way too much filler. I read hundreds of pages yet I feel like I could sum up the whole story in a couple paragraphs easily. I also feel like this could be a trigger for people since it talks about the characters willingly cutting themselves and bleeding. At times the story seemed to get a bit of life but it quickly died down when the big reveal had already been revealed or was so predictable it was not a shock. No way will I buy the second book and I really do not see myself continuing on the with the series.
