My Rating---> 5 of 5 STARS
Read on Aug. 22nd, 2014
I really enjoyed reading this book, the words flowed so smoothly and the story line is fresh and unique. This is a whole new spin on shape-shifting and the paranormal, one that was fresh and exciting, not to mention the love story woven so perfectly throughout. Wendy Beck wrote the conversations we all wish we could have and did them with exceptional timing, thought provoking, deeply intense at times, but with a wicked sense of humor that had me laughing out loud at just the right moments. The symbolism, pacing, and words were superb!
The characters in this story all fit together seamlessly, the action and conflicts that Skyler and Bastian go through together solidify and strengthen their already intense bond. I adored Skyler from the very beginning, she's honest, strong of character, protective, caring, snarky, intuitive, easily flustered, but down to earth and grounded. Bastian is absolutely perfect, I applaud Wendy Beck for pulling him off so well, he is dark, mysterious, brooding, moody, punishing himself constantly, but completely loyal, always honest, cares with his whole heart and is fiercely protective of the woman he loves. The relationship and banter between the two is unforgettable, and the way in which they ease into what becomes their relationship, instead of the "insta-love" in which most stories have, is just perfect.
I do as many read and reviews as I can and I am always excited and pleased to find a story like this that draws me in and captivates me so completely that I want to support the writer and purchase the book that was gifted me. I cannot wait to read the follow up to "9th Life", Wendy Beck you are an amazingly talented writer and I wish you never to run out of creativity!
