Raised by Wolves


Review Time! I haven't written a review in so long!!! Anyway, I finished Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes this week and it was really good. I am continuing with the werewolf theme so this is a werwolfish book :P Well firstly it was really different to any other book I have read in a way that is really hard to explain. You kinda feel like you are the character, I felt like I was actually in the story. I don't if it is just me or something but I find Jessica Lynn Barnes a fantastic writer when it came to emotions. That I felt was the highlight of the story for me. The rest was okay but it really just blended into the rest of the books I have read lately.

It had great characters, a good plot, great start and ending BUT it was 'Just Another Book'. I find that when I read a really good book (aka Glimmerglass) I start expecting more from the book I read after that so it might just be me. I like to compare books and this just wasn't a match for Glimmerglass which was AMAZING x 100 ( and Glimmerglass wasn't even my favourite book all time just one of the great ones :P) So overall it was good nothing wrong with it or anything I wasn't pleased with. It just happened to be the book that got my higher expectations after glimmerglass. Rating - 3/5

  1. I loved this book. I got so caught up with her being betrayed and all, such drama. But I am sucker for that.

  2. great review! i tend to have extremely high expectations after reading an awesome book. i actually have to be careful about choosing the next book i read. i usually try to pick something completely different so i don't keep comparing, so i know how you feel.

  3. aw, I'm sad it didn't stand out for you more. This is actually one of the few new YA releases that HAS stood out for me! Mainly plot-wise.
