TLDR: Its a great book thats written well, but fair warning, the main character is a psychopath (like actually, not slang). I am writing this review for 2 reasons; One: The book is very good, and deserves the recognition, although I will hold off from writing a more in depth review currently due to the story still being in its early stages (chapters 1-100 feel like the prologue, and while it has been very enjoyable it definitely seems like the gloves have just been removed, and shits about to go down in the best way). And reason two is a disagreement with some reviews I've seen, who are claiming that the book springs this darker tone on the reader out of nowhere. Not to be rude, but are you guys reading the same book that I am? His extreme levels of controlling behavior, possessiveness, and calculating mind popping up through the entire beginning of the story have been basically broadcasting this change on a huge neon sign for most of the book. It was obvious to me that he was like this even around chapter 40. it's well foreshadowed. I think you guys are all just too used to normal system books on here. My main issue was probably the situation in chapter 92-95... that whole breaking and entering thing didnt really match what he has shown, but in my head im kinda treating it as an mental breakdown kinda thing, hopefully one he doesnt make often, as there is a difference between enjoying that sort of stuff and doing whats "Necessary". With that being said I think the author has done a very good job, the System is very unique and interesting (and as a bonus note, my main gripe with the system has been addressed in the later chapters, that being the options always had only one actually viable option, the others were just significantally worse, which I very much like, thank you author.), and the main character seems to be a psychopath that is written correctly and its very interesting to read.

Bro being smart enough to manipulate people and being possessive, are not signs of a full blown psychopath. They aren't really signs at all. Literally anyone could be that smart, or possessive. The break in assault is absolutely out of nowhere, and for someone apparently smart this I have to be a psycho villain\monster to be successful mindset is just completely absurd. Manipulating someone for business related reasons or for successful negotiations isn't evil, it is common sense. He goes shopping for clothes and goes on a rant like he is a evil genius ruling the world through his amazing manipulation lol.

you're right that manipulation isn't the same as being a psychopath, but that's not what im basing it on. The emotional detachment, the manipulation, the control-freak tendencies... It's all right up a psychopaths alley. Maybe it won't be that way later, but for what i have read, I stand by my statement. not that it's a bad thing, a well written psychopath is always a fascinating read.

Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted

Being the pack defect is bad enough. Getting REJECTED? By your own fated mate? Yeah. THAT is a whole new level of low. Ava Grey is the pack defect, a wolfless shifter. She struggles through life with the vague dream of freedom. Her opportunity comes when she's suddenly informed that she will be attending the Lunar Gala, an annual ball for young adult shifters to find their fated mates. And she finds him. He's beautiful and intense, and his kisses send desire through her veins like a drug. Until he REJECTS her. Ava isn't about to go back to her dreary life. She escapes and forges a new identity far from her pack, and far from her alpha mate. She makes new friends and is even forcefully adopted by a hilarious husky. But just as she settles in and finds happiness, strange things begin to happen... Her husky has been holding secrets. She's hearing whispers that shifter packs all over are looking for her. And she can smell a familiar scent in her apartment, which makes no sense at all... because the man it belongs to rejected her. DECEMBER 2024 NOTE-- Author has a broken hand and updates are slower than normal. Deepest apologies. Trying to get updates more normalized again!! --------- This is a wolf shifter romance with multiple triggers that like to waltz hand in hand with all the dark themes through a meadow of dead flowers. In this book you will find the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Laugh, cry, rage; you can do them all as you follow Ava in the rather perilous journey of being a wolf shifter in this generation of werewolf romance. There are R18 scenes sprinkled throughout this book like candy popping out of a pinata. Please read responsibly. ------- AUTHOR DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/ApNZDux8kj
