Wolfsbane - Number 2 in series (Paperback, Digital original)

Reviews

"Loved it!" by Chene T. - 6 October 2014

Wolfsbane picks up directly where Nightshade ended. The story is split into 3 parts in this book, and starts off with Calla and Shay adjusting to the searchers and forming new relationships. It has a lot of history and facts - It can come across as a small info dump but I found it fascinating. Initially I was worried that this was going to be a slow middle type book, but I was so wrong, and got completely caught up in Calla's world. Characters & Storyline: 5/5 Calla - This is such an intense journey for Calla. I related easily to her and found I actually loved her quite a lot more in Wolfsbane, than I did in Nightshade. Maybe it's because she considers Ren a little bit more and her heart aches for him in a different way. *tee hee* #TeamRen Shay - I liked him more in this book too. He is great with, and for, Calla. (Even though I am still Team Ren!). Shay is on the back burner a bit for me in Wolfsbane but we find out a lot about the role he plays and his past in this book. Shay is a great character, and I think his role in Bloodrose is going to be intense. Ren - Ren barely made an appearance in this book. I am still totally team Ren and really hope to see more of him in Bloodrose. Ansel - When Ansel first appeared my heart broke! He is a shadow of his former bubbly self and I really hope things change for him. Searchers - I enjoyed getting to know this group and really like Adne, Connor and Monroe. Plot, Pace, Writing style: 5/5 Part 2 is where it really kicked up a gear for me. It is filled with love, friendship and heartbreak. This is a fast paced, exciting and intense read. It does end with quite a huge cliffhanger, and I am extremely glad that I have the next book so that I can continue the story without a break! My heart was left beating with intensity in my chest the way things ended with Calla, Shay, Ren and Adne. Wolfsbane is a middle type book but it is gearing up for an intense war in Bloodrose. Cover talk: 3.5/5 The cover is okay. The girl is not exactly the way I picture Calla but it is still a pretty cover - enough to catch your attention. Final Thoughts: I am really enjoying this series and cannot wait to pick up Bloodrose!!
