Prince of Wolves by Quinn Loftis

    Jaque Pierce was just an ordinary 17 year old girl getting ready to start her senior year in high school in Coldspring, Texas. When a mysterious foreign exchange student from Romania moves in across the street, Jacque and her two best friends, Sally and Jen, don't realize the last two weeks of their summer was going to get a lot more interesting. From the moment Jacque sets eyes on Fane she feels an instant connection, a pull like a moth to a flame. Little does she know that the flame she is drawn to is actually a Canis lupis, werewolf, and she just happens to be his mate; the other half of his soul. The problem is Fane is not the only wolf in Coldspring, Texas. Just as Fane and Jacque are getting to know each other, another wolf steps out to try and claim Jacque as his mate. Fane will now have to fight for the right to complete the mating bond, something that is his right by birth but is being denied him by a crazed Alpha. Will the love Fane has for Jacque be enough to give him the strength to defeat his enemy, will Jacque accept that she is Fane's mate and complete the bond between them?  Goodreads


        I give it: 2/5 stars

     Now, I have been waiting to read a good wolf series for a while. Most of them suck and usually end up trying to hard to be Twilight, which is just puke-tastic. My friend turns to me yesterday and says," Hey read this book. It's really good." All I have to say is... THANK THE BOOK GODS IT WAS FREE. This book was just not good at all. First off the book just opens up and BAM, HERE IS WOLF BOY. HER IS GIRL. EYE CONTACT AND INSTA-LOVE. And I get it. Part of the reason why I wanted to read this book was because of the idea that wolves meet their one mate and it's an instant connection. I get that, but I don't get how Jaque is so automatically accepting of everything. I mean YOU HEAR A VOICE IN YOUR HEAD. I'm sorry but if I hear a voice in my head I wouldn't be as okay with it as Jaque is. Like she freaks out and calls her friends... but they don't react to her as if she's crazy. I know they're supposed to be BFFs with the whole OMG-HOT GUY-GOSSIP TIME but if my best friend turned to me and was all hey, the new hot guy moved in and I swear he spoke to me in my head I would gently sit her down and ask what drugs she may be on.

      Besides many of the reactions in this book just not seeming real (i.e. Jaque’s sudden acceptance around pages 60-80 of hearing Fane’s voice was just strange. Just because the voice says it’s the person doesn’t always make it real.), the grammar and writing was also horrible. I'm not saying I'm the Queen of Grammar, but I’ve seen FanFiction with better writing. I was happy for one thing: it helped to prepare me for my SAT today.
        I am happy I downloaded it. If I spent my money on this book I would be extremely pissed. If you want to try it, do it. It’s free. I really wish the characters were better and the plot was outlined better. It could have been a good book.
