Why did Chris love this book?
There’s no shortage of indie novels out there that hit all the categories of young adult, fantasy, romance, and werewolf. This book is the best sample of the genre I’ve read that keeps everything you want and doesn’t bother with what you don’t.
Kat Kinney’s writing style really suits fantasy romance – her lyrical descriptions never have a blue sky when “vibrant cerulean” will do. When Lea (human) and Henrik (werewolf) hate and fear each other but are forced to survive together in the wilderness, the florid prose ratchets up the big feelings. This makes the central romance resonate where the “star-crossed lovers” bit could’ve felt overly familiar.
The magic system comes together nicely, allowing the yearning kids to challenge the nefarious ruling werewolves in a dramatic finish where the bonds they’ve made pay off.

Lea Wylder has spent so long hunting werewolves that now one is stalking her in her sleep. In the unforgiving forests of the north, shape-shifting wolves have enslaved the sole human city for hundreds of miles, driving survivors up into the mountains. When Lea tracks a shifter and finds him caught in a trap, she’s convinced he’s the white wolf from her dreams. Not that it matters. He’s one of them. And they’re at war.
But as Lea pulls back the bowstring, Henrik shifts to human and begs her not to shoot. By name. But how could he possibly know…
