Quote(s)

1.    When she was just a child, her father would always remind her to be a good girl and to follow the rules in their household – to not ever wander in the woods at the back of the mansion.

2.    “Change is something we cannot control, Princess. People would change not because they wanted to,” her dad answered meaningfully, making her grimace.

3.    But to her surprise, she saw a wolf as white as snow with green eyes looking back at her. She saw blood dripping from its left hind leg.

4.    They went buying grocery stocks and a few clothes for her hours ago before she begged Llewis to have something in the nearest coffee shop. He didn’t like the idea at first. But with her charms, she was able to make him say ‘yes’.

5.    As a man, she knew it was hard to understand what she was trying to imply. And being an individual, Miranda always loved spending time to herself. She was more comfortable being alone – before.

6.    I wasn’t looking for him. I came to get you.

7.    Miranda felt creepy when her body hairs started growing abnormally.

8.    The man she adored killed over a dozen of people. She trembled in fear, moving away from him, dragging her body against the carpeted floor.

9.    Nah, it’s okay. At least she gets to live comfortably with my Dad.

 

BOOK JOURNEY

Thoughts

(1)

Wow! The serial killer vibe! This is getting scary!

—————— ΰΈ…՞• •՞ΰΈ… ———————

(2)

What happened? Is the father becoming a serial killer unwillingly?

—————— ΰΈ…՞• •՞ΰΈ… ———————

(3)

Okay… so this is a paranormal story. Werewolf it is.

—————— ΰΈ…՞• •՞ΰΈ… ———————

(4)

Why oh why Miranda? Do you not know you’re now being hunted? Why go to dangerous place?

—————— ΰΈ…՞• •՞ΰΈ… ———————

(6)

This really gets me upset. I mean, why can’t Llewis wait outside the toilet? Why can’t Miranda go to the toilet after they go back home? Seriously? Why give bad people the opportunity to hurt you? URGH!

—————— ΰΈ…՞• •՞ΰΈ… ———————

(7)

She’s changing!!!

—————— ΰΈ…՞• •՞ΰΈ… ———————

(8)

And why do you think he killed all those people? (Eyes rolling) If it is not because of you wanting to go to coffee shop, everything wouldn’t have happened in the first place! So, don’t you dare! Besides, how do you sure that it is not you doing the killing?

—————— ΰΈ…՞• •՞ΰΈ… ———————

(9)

That’s Miranda’s brother!

 

Reading Experience

The story feels like it was written by someone who has just started writing. Is it inspired by Twilight? Jacob? Seriously? Why didn’t the she-wolf just used Llewis’ name instead of Jacob? Is that his middle name or something? If it is then why the author didn’t mention it when they first introduced each other? Moreover, what is the surname of Llewis? Summers or Hewitt? Can the author pay attention to which name she has named the character? It is so annoying when I track the name down and it is wrong. It makes me wonder if it is a new character.

Anyway, the story feels kind of rigid, the love connection clicked at a snap of fingers, which is kind of weird since there is no story building between the two lovebirds.

 

Question(s)

1.    What happened to the police?

2.    Didn’t the police question Miranda why did she disappeared?

3.    Didn’t the police arrange for a search team to search for Miranda since she was disappearing in the woods?
