A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

For more of my reviews, check out my blog.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing was a different take on the werewolf romance genre than what I'm used to. In this particular verse, only alphas and omegas have wolf forms – betas are simply the neutral ground, regular ol' plain humans, basically. Our main character, Riley, grows up being told over and over again that she's a beta, that she's not for her group of alpha friends. She's grown up in a pack – her father was an enforcer for – but she's not a wolf. The parents of her alpha friends drill into her over and over that she is not for them. It is awful emotional abuse, and one that the author handles well. In the end, Riley turns into an omega, and that was exceptionally cool.

I felt bad for Riley throughout the whole book, but wow does she fight the whole situation that she's thrust into. She fights it hard, and after say...the third time she's struggling with it, it got old. She does eventually give in obviously, but it took way, way too long in my opinion. Another problem I had with Wolf in Sheep's Clothing was that only...three of the five alphas really have a personality. Colt, Haze, and Blake all have distinct things going for them, but the other two – Ryan and Fen are just sort of...there. I really would have loved more from them, but it's just not present in the book.

The sex scenes were hot, but you really don't get the typical werewolf stuff until the very, and I mean very end of the book. I missed that in the earlier portions of the book, but what are you gonna do, I guess.

Overall, a decent entry into the werewolf romance genre, but definitely not hitting all my werewolf buttons.
