I received a copy of this book from authors, Kimberly Loth and Nina Walker. This is my honest review.

Handmaids Tale and The Selections rolled into one, but with apologetically brutal wolf shifter.

Poppy wasn't meant to be part of the claimed. Fourteen minutes made all the difference. Fourteen minutes was the only reason her sister, Willow was going, and not her. When the unthinkable happens and Willow slaps one of the wolves for touching her inappropriately, which results in her death, Poppy is thrusted into her sister's place. One she was never trained to be a part of. With little to no preparation, Poppy must compete against twenty other girls, who have trained their whole lives, to win the heart of one of the five betas to marry, or risk being thrown into a mating house.

Words cannot describe how I felt when reading this book. I was sent on a rollercoaster of emotions that I wasn't even remotely ready for. From the first page to the very last, I was hooked.
Poppy was a lovable character, who was far from perfect. She couldn't read, or write, she wasn't artistic, she was just pretty terrible at every obstacle that was thrown her way. She was the perfect example of a girl not fit to be a beta's wife. I loved the fact that she wasn't perfect, or beautiful. She was just an average plain jane compared to all the other girls around her, but the loving and competitive side of her, makes her a really enjoyable character to read. You are really rooting for her to make it through.
Alpha Prince Ryne is a hard character to read. You think you know his intentions, and then he throws you off that trail. He's a complicated character, and yet a very lovable one at the same time. His character is one I'd love to see how he develops. I feel that there is so many way he could go, and I'm excited to see what happens.
I was a huge fan of Grady. I loved him in so many ways. He really was a great part of the support system for Poppy, and he's an absolute sweetheart!
I am dying for book 2, and you know a book is good when you are desperate for the second one. I was so annoyed at myself for finishing it so quickly, but also annoyed at myself for not being able to devour it quicker! I need answers, and I really can't wait to see what happens!
