Winter Wolf by Rachel M. RaithbyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
(free copy from netgalley for honest review)
Katalina's 18th birthday starts as a happy one and ends in tragedy. This is the story of Kat coming to terms with that tragedy and the realization that she is not all that she seems.
I really loved this story. Kat's struggle with her new identity is authentic. It doesn't feel forced or contrived to make the tale interesting. Along with the struggle are the emotions of dealing with a horrible accident that changes her whole life. I love that she doesn't get over it and embrace everything after a month or two. She goes through denial, anger and depression, just as she should. On top of that, she is astounded by her strong feelings for a boy she's just met and who becomes the only thing that is keeping her sane.
Raithby did such a fantastic job conveying the passion and despair that Katalina experiences. I cried and rejoiced with Kat. I felt her anger and frustration. I was completely engrossed in the story; I couldn't pull myself away.
There wasn't a cliffhanger ending. It could be a one-off novel or the beginning of a new series. This story enchanted me and I look forward to reading more of Rachel Raithby.
