3 1/2 stars. This was a very quick, fast paced story. The storyline was very entertaining, had some twists I wasn't expecting, and lots of action. I'm not giving it more stars simply for the reason I wish the story was longer to develop. Because of its length, things happened fast. I did think the writing style was decent--it had good flowing dialogue. There was also a lot of jumping back and forth with the timeline for explanations--this I found a little confusing. I also enjoyed the characters--although I liked the heroine a bit more than the hero. She seemed to be emotionally stronger of the two--she actually had to help the hero a couple of times. I guess I was expecting some sort of "super alpha" given his advanced age. I think I really would have loved it if it was longer, and laid out a little more simpler. This was a great concept but poorly executed. It's improbable to have a society of beings who are centuries old acting like scared petulant children. The villain was true to form and on keeping with an alpha predator but no one else was. The eldest came across as inexperienced and young which is a real problem because he's supposed to be older than Christ. His alpha mojo should be rolling off him in waves, but no it doesn't. Furthermore, the women in this story are caricatures, there is no true depth to any of them. Again, good concept but poorly executed.
What do You think about The First Alpha (2013)?
Pretty good book. I wish the ending was a little more dramatic but a good read none the less.
