When I heard about an urban fantasy shifter novel I was instantly intrigued, when I heard it was set in Dublin/Ireland I knew it was going to be a must read! Having been lucky enough to get an ARC copy I was highly impressed with Wolf Bait. This was such a pleasant read, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the storyline. I felt like the pacing was very well layed out and while a slow burn (as advertised) after the halfway point I couldn't put it down and just had to get to the end to see what happens! I will definitely be pre-ordering book 2 and eagerly await it's release for to continue this story! My favourite part of the book (other than the cosy feeling of my home city that is felt thoughout) is how well written the characters are, Eve was definitely a relatable character and it made me feel all the more connected to and investited in the story! There is definitely a great foundation being laid down for a secret magic Dublin and would love to see this also open up some spinoffs into the larger magical community that are mentioned within. As I've said I'll be eagerly awaiting book two in this series but if you enjoy shifters/romances/fantasy/found-family/tense/emotianal reads then I would highly suggest giving this book a read!

I feel like this book was a bit of a mess to be honest, the characters were very one dimensional and I don't think I've ever had to say this sentence before but the male characters were written very badly. Plot wise the book was either happening very slowly or would suddenly be fast paced, there was no natural ebb and flow to it. There was a lot of potential but I feel like it was wasted unfortunately.
