This is the second time I have read this book and everything in it hits the same it did the first time the sad moments the happy and everything in between. The characters were amazing there were so many great characters to rave about. I especially loved Ox and Joe they had a connection from the start with the meeting of a traumatized ten year old and a sixteen year old that had been told he was not worth anything. I found Ox to be a very complicated yet interesting character that has so much more to him than what it seems at the start. The cast of characters were are so interesting all of them add so much to the story. The plot was amazing it tells of a strong bond that hold up even with enduring so much pain both the romance and the strong family bonds there is a boy that meets another so traumatized he has stopped talking and brings back the light thought gone forever their relationship moves from there with ups and downs. There are so many great themes in this story a great Werewolf story with bond strong family bonds and even the ability to hold on despite great loss. I loved this book so much will continue the series soon.
