Synopsis
Wern Tigarian was taken to Santuary
as an orphaned cub, where he grew to adulthood under the close scrutiny and
mistrust of those around him. Many regard him as an abomination – a forbidden
blend of two species – and he has become a bitter loner, shunning both Were and
human company alike. Until, that is, Marguerite D’Aubert Goudeau walks into his
life.
The daughter of a prominent US
Senator, Marguerite hates the socialite life she’s forced to live. Still, she has
no choice except to try and conform to a world where she feels like an outside.
The world of the rich and powerful
humans is never to meet the world of the Were-Hunters who exist side by side
with them, unseen, unknown, undetected. But in order to protect Marguerite,
Wren will have to fight not just the humans who will never accept his animal
nature, but the were-hunters who want him dead. It’s a race against time in a
world of magic without boundaries that could cost the two not just their lives,
but their very souls...
my Thoughts (review)
now, this is my pimp it book of the
whole series, and the one that truly made me fall in love with the books
I loved LOVE this book! more so than
I can truly say.
It’s about a guy who was never
loved, by anyone. Not his mother—who wanted to put him in a zoo. Nor his
father—who could barely look at him. Nor any of the bears that he grew up with.
He’s a white leopard/tiger Katagaria who is more special than anyone knows,
including him.
So he’s a quite one, doesn’t like
people talking, looking, interacting with him, except maybe Nick. So when
Maggie enters the pub where he works because she wanted to have a drink there
in memory of Nick it’s a shock that Wren can’t keep his eyes off her, even to
him.
I love the emotions that Wren goes
through, his fights with himself, and with others. The fact that he uses the
fact that people are afraid of him to hide himself. I love it even more at how
he with Maggie, who he changes, even though she doesn’t care....
He’d
been trying for over an hour to comb through the mess of his hair, and so far
he’s only met with failure and pain.
And
all this because he wanted...
He
wanted the impossible. For one moment in time, he wanted to feel a woman’s
hands in his hair, and it wasn’t Aimee he ached to feel there.
He
wanted Maggie.

It’s not all that interesting a
tale, to be honest, though more due to greed (not my favourite forms of hatred)
but this book has a very strong
emphases on the people in it, one there love and how it was doomed, and yet how
they couldn’t leave the other alone. And that on its own is why I loved this
book.
I loved the unsureness of both
characters. And yet, Maggie is able to rise up, and protect, and stand up for
Wren when others believe something she can’t.
