I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.This was not a typical shifter book, which I liked very much. The author dealt with disabilities and how trauma can affect life, and just put it in wolf form. It was great to see Noah learn how to accept help from those who shunned him in the past and overcome what he thought were necessities in order to live (human medicine). This was a great difference than other shifter books.What was similar was the annoying alpha (in the beginning) who expects everyone to fall at his feet and not question anything. Poor Noah is pulled from his safety, thrown with those he does not know or trust, but is expected to recognize that Wade cares for him. I also didn't like the kids in the story. I think we (and Noah) were meant to feel sorry for Mia and hope for medical improvements and pack acceptance, but all I felt with her was annoyance and it bothered me that Noah didn't like her at all. Then he says "but I want kids". It didn't seem to fit. I would have liked a bit more connection to those characters if we were meant to like them or have them add some meat to the story.Overall, it was a pretty good story. Solid 3.5 stars. The only thing hot about this book was the cover. I initially wanted to read this because one of my friends marked it as mpreg!!!! When I see that tag, I expect it to be in the beginning, then already knocked up. Not in the ending with 3 pages left.I hated everything about this book. Didn't like the poison concept or the characters no one was interesting. I've been Bamboozled point, blank and the period.
What do You think about Pretty Poison (2013)?
4.5 stars... can I just say, "we want more. we want more. we really liked it. we want more."

3.5 out of 5.The book was good, but too sweet. It needed a little more angst.
