Trial by Fire: A Raised by Wolves Novel

Trial by Fire - Jennifer Lynn Barnes 4.5/5
This book might have had a bit slower pace than the first one, but Miss Barnes's writing is so hypnotizing that I genuinely didn't care.

I remember absolutely loving the first book, and the second installment of Bryn's story disappointed my only in one aspect - there wasn't enough of it.

We barely got to know the dynamics of the pack and how the relationship with Chase was going; werewolves politics which seemed to play a very important role in the plot weren't explained enough. The bits about Ali's past were quite shocking and led to an interesting development...

First half of the book is quite slow, but it's in the second part where everything gets really intense and gripping. I loved it! You never notice how the book sinks it's claws into you until you feel you can't put it down and have to finish reading no matter what :)

Overall, although the story is a bit wobbly, it's still written beautifully and I enjoyed it very much!
