- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54STARSMostly it is high school typical of every high school, You have your clicks, don't fit in, don't get along with your parents. You have a crush on someone and someone different likes you. All the regular teenage dramas except you learn that some of the teenagers are not teenager or even human. That jealousy can kill you. That the weird girl has a reason for being different. That their is more differences around than just country over city.Lila's parents got a divorce and her mom has moved back to the town she grew up it. It is cheaper to live in the country than the city. Lila's first few days of school she realizes that she does not fit in. No one even talks to her. Her mom does not care about her.Then when she meets someone Cresida she tries to tell her about the werewolves. That they want her. Cresida is different. She used to be one of the popular kids. Now she stays off by herself.The cool kids invite her to join their group that is competing in dance troupe they are short one girl. They start to pressure her to come watch them. They make her feel like she belongs.One of the cool guys Reid becomes her boyfriend fast. Lila ends up sleeping with him but all she can think of is another boy Sky.Cresida is still watching her. Warning her away from the group and than telling her it might be better if she does hang with them.I cared about the characters. I wanted things to workout for Lila. It is funny that Lila's mom was worried more about her when she was doing good then when she was sneaking out drinking and having sex.As a parent I did not like how fast and easy Lila and Reid got together. Especially when she was thinking about Sky Reid's best friend.The Mythology of where and how the werewolves came to be really has not made sense to me. Maybe as the next book comes out I will see and understand that part of the story more.Some of the werewolves are much older than high school age. Werewolves look really young and fit. You can't just tell how old one is by looking at them.I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. I hate having to wait for the next part of the story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In Forbidden, Lila and her mother move to Shade due to her mother's divorce. As Lila joins the in process school year and tries to make friends and adapt she discovers, things are not as they seem on the surface.Lila discovers who she was meant to be and who her fellow students are throughout the tale.The book starts with the legend of the town, which I found greatly enjoyable and feel adds to the authenticity of the story line.The characters and story are well written and engaging. At times, I did want to slap some sense into the characters but looking back at myself at that age, I want to slap some sense into myself.While, I am still not sure how I feel about the ending, it is passionately and well written.Overall, definitely a enjoyable tale.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Once I started reading Lila's POV, I immediately disliked her as her actions and reactions didn't sit well with me. Her mother was completely absent from almost everything. She lets Lila do whatever she wants and doesn't ask any questions. All of the characters were a little flat to my test; the emphasis was placed on their looks - All the guys were hot and all of the girls average compared to 'The Clique. Also I had a problem with Cresida part, she supposed to be some kind of guardian, but it really didn't seem much.But I did like the base idea of the Hunter = Artemis(Dana in Rome), as I do love Greece mythology. (and It also creates a whole new spin to the werewolf myth). I always had a conflicting feeling about Artemis.... as a teenager I did romanticized her life as a nature element but I didn't like her harsh and impetuous judgment and acts. Maybe in this Lila somewhat resemble her.I was also intrigue about this small town of Shade with its weird people and its parallel existence.I didn't have any problem with the stereotypical love struck heroine who is obsessed with an inhuman. It is an indispensable part of the fast light plot,and make things interesting. But as I could understand her crush with Skye I didn't understand what 40 yo guy find in this teenager.This is a real fast reading ... but I found myself skipping parts which I was too impatience to read and I find this kind of fault in the plot. It is quiet disturbing if you can skip parts and don't feel guilty about it.Overall, It's a solid start to a decent paranormal YA, will absolutely pick up the next in the series to see what happens next.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This young adult book geared, to those who want to read about werewolves, begins in much the same way that Twilight did. Lila is a 17 year old who has moved to a small town from the big city. She has a mother who is recently divorced and not the most hands-on of parents. She is rebellious, strong willed and interested in belonging but unsure where she should and will ultimately fit in. She catches the eye of the athletic beautiful in-crowd who eagerly include her in their group. She also catches the eye of someone in her class named Cresida who warns her against being part of the in-crowd. There is love, angst, a bit of sex and a different twist to the werewolf mythology by bringing in Artemis, Apollo and Zeus. The first book in the series left me wanting to read the next book even though I had not thought I would in the first half of the book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I had a hard time with this read. It seemed to need a little more editing. I liked the plot line in general. It is a good first book by the author though.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was good, but it definitely has first book syndrome. I felt like the author was a wonderful writer. But too much focus was placed on building up the world for the sake of the series. It took away from the story for me. The characters are interesting enough, and I did feel a connection to them. I'd be interested to see where this series is going.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5****I received this arc in exchange for an honest review****
This book was a very different read for me, and it made a very nice change.
Here we have a story surrounding the wolf shape shifting topic and it really was a good read.
The story was well written and easy to follow, the characters were fantastic and different. It makes a change to have a female alpha.
The ending, well what can I say.
If you love this genre and wolves then this is the read for you. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5**Review written for an originally posted on my blog, Book Bliss. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review:3 starsGeneral: This book is one hell of a ride and I am not sure if I mean that in a good way or a bad at this point, so I am writing this all out before I assign a rating to it and see where my mind goes.Forbidden was a difficult read for me. I thought the writing itself was great. The worldbuilding and the plot itself were good. However, one of the issues for me was the pacing was off. There was almost too much world building. In fact, had this not been a YA novel I probably would not have finished it as it was very slow. But I have found very few werewolf YA so I pushed myself through. Thankfully about halfway through it really kicks up speed and was a good thing.The plot itself is horribly depressing – in a good way. Full of drama and loss and honestly it was represented wonderfully. However the characters sincerely dragged this novel down for me. I was in no way connected with the characters and was annoyed for most of the book.So does wonderful writing and a strong plot cross out bad pacing and annoying characters? Unfortunately me for it did not this time. The characters were just too off for me.Characters: Lila- Lila is one of the worst characters I think I have read in a YA. I do not say this disrespectfully as many people may find her endearing and sympathy worthy. I on the other hand wanted to smack her. She experienced a lot of loss in her life. Divorce, a move and then death in numbers once her “new life” began. It is easy to find pity for her at first as she is written well in the beginning. As the book continued she continued to whine, continued to feel like she was owed something and over all made stupid assumption and stupid choice one right after the next.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an interesting twist on a paranormal story, encompassing some ‘coming of age’ struggles with the main character, Lila, as well as coming to realize that the world is far more complex than she realized. In reading this book, there were some lags in the forward motion, and some pieces seemed to be dropped in without reason, but all does come clear in the end.
The writer shows a facile hand with both description and development, both facets serve to enhance the reader’s experience while providing a series of contrasts for the reader to envision a world that is different from the one they inhabit. The research into mythology is integrated into the story, and the result is a polished set of contrasts and contradictions that feel both plausible and heartbreaking, creating a real page turner. The ending is satisfactory, while still leaving a desire to know more and this leads beautifully into a second story: and this is the first of a series. As a starter it does leave the reader with great desire to know more and to see just where Lila will finally find her own satisfaction and solutions to the many difficulties she has encountered. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lila is the typical outsider character who has flaws that make her seem real and a good amount of teen angst was thrown in without being overbearing and whinny. The huge chip on her shoulder was essential to the story development and had the reader sympathizing with the character for the experiences rather than those being repellant qualities. There were some points where the story could have been picked up a bit more. Some parts seemed to be repeated in places, I was not sure if that was to emphasize the reader’s understanding of the situation or to make the story seem longer. I am highly anticipating the sequel to this story.Note: I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
