Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

This book was recommended after finishing a different book. I have mixed feelings about it. It needs a little editing, but it’s not overwhelming or challenging. There is some repetition with explaining certain things or emotions repeatedly. Personally, I would rather see it go more in depth if they’re going to repeat something. But, it’s been a quick read so far. I typically stay away from toxic/abusive books,so my review may not be untainted. So far, it’s not gruesome, just lots of emotional trauma and manipulation. I think her name is pronounced “mahr-e” (like “starry”)… I looked it up when they referred to her name being unusual. The storyline is interesting and a unique perspective. So far, there has been one chapter from her abusive father‘s perspective, and I wish they would have included the information in a different manner because I’m not sure the author captured his vitriol and darkness effectively. However, the author has done a good job of weaving minor mysteries throughout and allowing the reader to see most of the puzzle pieces as the characters start putting the puzzle together. SPOILER: I was not expecting Mari’s fated mate, and hope there’s more and different surprises to come. So far, so good… :)
