Laura’s Wolf has a great storyline. I really liked Laura. I
found her character entertaining and her back ground was so intriguing. She is
young but has a big backbone and she takes everything in stride. It was
refreshing to not see her become one of those “save me all the times” girl.
Roy, is so broken but he is also level headed and approaches everything
cautiously. That’s the military piece coming from him. He is so scared and
reserved that you just want to see him open up and come out all right. The
story was different, which is refreshing to get a new take on a werewolf story.
The romance and action were good, story was a bit long but it keeps you
entertained. It kept me pulled in until about three quarters till the end and
then it became clinical for me. The action had reached its climax and you were
on the downside but the story kept going with the main focus on PTSD. The
author was great about helping you understand how a person is effected by PTSD
both in the military and not. This book was not only an enjoyable fiction story
but one you can learn from as well.
