3.0

A super fast paced read. It dives straight in to the action, while building a solid picture of who Yasmine is. Kalta bursts into her life and brings a reckless energy that may turn Yasmine's world on its head. Werewolf meets Witch mate, while they both battle with their own demons and learn how to lean on one another. 
They both have to face who they are and decide who they want to be. 
It's a sweet romance.
I had some issues with the plot. I wasn't sure on how much time passed at one point. From Yasmine's pov it seemed like it had been days or weeks, yet from Kalta's it was only a day or two. It seemed inconsistent in places. I am wondering if this was on purpose though, as it could definitely play into how lost and disjointed Yasmine was. 
Kalta was a lot. She seemed very over the top and i had a hard time liking her. After thinking about it though I realised 1. I don't need to like everyone. 2. She has some amazing character growth and if she didn't start out a little over the top and a little shady, we may have missed that.

Overall an easy read, a sweet romance with two women finding their place in the world. I loved the magic and the red wolf history. I really liked the way Yasmine began to understand her mum and cousin by the end. 

Trigger warning: mentions an eating disorder and binging, plus self harm.
