Hope has lived in her small village her entire life. It isn't much, but she loves her father and her fiancé. However, they have been keeping something from her. A darkness is swiftly approaching their home which kills everyone but her. For some reason Lucian allows her to leave, but when she wakes up she is no longer human. Somehow, she gained the ability to shift. Staying in that form was easy for a long time, but when another shifter appears in her land Hope decides it is time for vengeance against her lost home.
This is a book that sets up the story. We learn how the group met and about their backstories, but nothing of import was really discussed. The book was mildly entertaining with a few exciting scenes, but it didn't hold my attention enough to want to read on. I will say that the setting of this book was very well done.
The descriptors in the book allowed the reader to be able to see everything the characters did and seen. This was something I loved and allowed me to enjoy most aspects of the book. Even the overall plot line was good. Girl who doesn't know she is a shifter shifts after another shifter lays waste to her home killing everyone she knows. After years of exile she bands together with friendly shifters with the goal of vengeance with the in person support of their gods.
The premise is there. But. I genuinely hated Hope. It is hard to hate a main character so much and still remain invested in the book. I don't mean a character you love to hate, but that you actually can't stand. She goes from weak and pathetic to a swooning hoe. In the course of the book (which is a monogamy book, not a poly. Otherwise I wouldn't care) she goes from her fiancé dying to falling for the first man who she sees afterwards then swooning all over the guy who literally killed everyone she loved. Then back to the other guy. Just all the no. Meanwhile he is like yeah, Lucian just killed my pregnant wife, but you're great and we're definitely going to end up together. Just no. Maybe this series straightens out, unfortunately it's not one for me.
