Xavier Blackwood is the man every girl at my college dreams about at night, myself included, but I'd never let anyone know that.
Standing at 6'8 with steel grey eyes, he's a walking dream, but he's also a
world-renowned jerk.
Who would have thought that one night, after dragging myself home after doing
double shifts at the diner, I'd be jumped by three men...only to have Xavier
come to my rescue.
Oh yes, Xavier bloody Blackwood saved my life...but the thing I saw, the CREATURE that
ripped those men to shreds wasn't the Xavier everyone knows.
He wasn't human...
He was a wolf, a demon, a creature from myths, and it was the most amazing
thing I've ever seen until he attacked me too and knocked me out.
Humans that learn about the existence of werewolves have to die.
...There are NO exceptions.
The Werewolf Xavier saved me, but now I am condemned to death
To make things worse, both Xavier and Axel claim I am their mate
...this can't be good.

I received a free copy of this in exchange for a review, and I am reviewing this willingly.
I enjoyed the story, even if it was very short - this was 130 quick pages.
While I agree with other reviews that Ruby was hard to love at times, I also tried to remember that she's a young adult - this book so be categorized in the "New Adult" genre, and that young college kids aren't always the most eloquent.
Someone else had complained about language of the characters, and how it was different with how they would speak to a friend - however, this book read very much as being true to character. My younger sister - who is 21 - often speaks like this with her friends. I don't think that's a fault of the author so much as it's the characters being true to their age and the time period, which is modern.
I will admit that I wasn't a fan of how quickly the scenes jumped, it was a little hard to keep track of the timelines, and the POV switches happened a little too often for me.
I think that if this book was beefed up quite a bit to a novel length of a another hundred or two pages we'd be well on our way to an excellent 5 star read. In addition to lengthening the story, I would love Ruby's background - or at least parts of it sooner. We heard from her several times that her life had been difficult previous to what we were reading about now, but the lamentations about it without any background became just a tad annoying overall.
However, for being a smaller novel, almost novella sized, we get 4 triquetras for quick action, young characters that are true to their age and what the story needs.
Ending on the cliff hanger was a great move - I'm on my way to reading the second in the series after devouring this one in one night. I started reading at 10pm last night, and I just finished at 10am this morning!
I will also admit, that I am partial to Xavier and the Blackmoon pack, as a fellow Blackwood. ;P
About Sara Snow:
Sara Snow was born and raised in Texas, and she
moved to the Washington, D.C. area after high school. She’ll always be a Texas
girl at heart, though! Now she lives in Northern Virginia with her family and
her adorably fierce Yorkshire Terrier, Loki. In fact, Loki inspired her to
write her best-selling series "Luna Rising" (although he's still more
of a beta than an alpha!).
When not eagerly working on her next book, she loves
to geek out at Marvel movies, play games with her family and friends, and
travel around the world (when there isn’t a pandemic, that is!).
No matter where she or what she is doing, she can
rarely be found without a book in her hand.
