An attempt to reintroduce wolves to the Scottish Highlands faces strong pushback from the locals. In wilderness we fear monsters, but perhaps the true monsters are within. A thoroughly enjoyable thriller featuring the deep connection of twins, a remarkable form of empathy, the evil of domestic & ecological abuse and resultant trauma, and a little mystery. A strange lack of consequences.

I'm a stressed out mom that works way too much and uses reading as my escape time. I've been really enjoying picking up books that I know absolutely nothing about other than the title and giving it a go. This book roulette has been helping me push my boundaries and read books I likely never would have picked up before.
My rating system: (100% of my reading is through my library or online content, for reference) 5 - I absolutely loved it and will be buying a copy for my bookshelf! 4 - I really enjoyed this and will pick up a used copy from somewhere to share with others. 3 - This was pretty good, I can see why people like it. 2 - This just really wasn't quite for me. 1* - This should have been a DNF...

I really appreciated the decision to keep a lot of the native slang words in the book and have a dictionary for you to be able to see what it meant if you weren't able to tell. It helped a bit with the immersion of remembering that you're in Yop City in Africa. I also enjoyed the detailing at the end where they explained the choices in clothes and patterns that they wear and how the community of women work together. Not all the characters are likable which also adds a little dose of reality.
My biggest complaint is just that there are sudden abrupt changes from one page to another, so I had to frequently go back to the previous page to see if I missed something, and that added some confusion and difficulty to the reading. Overall, I did enjoy this, and would recommend it if you're …

This was ok, but didn't really grab me. It was predictable (which is not always a bad thing) and the chemistry just fell a little flat between the two characters. The transition from friendship to dating just wasn't very satisfying. And it drove me insane that the cover shows Nash with black hair, when the blonde hair is a major point brought up in the book.
