Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long

 Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

And another Wednesday Books that makes me think I might give them another shot and it will be a five star book.

Sadly, this is not the case with this book. Sena gives me as much emotion as a dead fish because it is not until the last two chapters where I start to feel something for the book because I thought the wolf was going to die and Sena was actually caring about somebody else for once.

Oh, and in case you miss it it will be told to you about five hundred times that her moms died in the race and everyone abandoned Sena. She is all alone (poor baby) she had an aunt who was not an aunt who tried to help her and gave her a roof over her head even though the poor aunt had many problems.

Also, there is a lot of time spent on the fights and wolves fighting each other, but all Sena cares about is money and getting off the planet. Like I lost respect for Sena with this because you have to be a heartless bitch to watch animals in a cage and you have the chance to heal them and help but all you have to do is complain that it reminds you of the race that made you lose your moms (did I forget to mention that this gets mentioned a lot because I think half the book is her lamenting about the race killing her moms. Also, what is this magical planet where two women can get pregnant without any sperm? There is literally no mention of a sperm donor or Sena wondering who else helped bring her to the world like what kind of world is this?).

I read this book because wolves (who doesn't love them?) but I feel like the book did an injustice to them because for a book title Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves (or if you are like me and could never remember which order it went Night Wolves) it does not spend a lot of time on wolves. I would much rather learn more about the wolves and vonenwolves than about Sena losing her moms. I'm sorry but it gets old really quick and I was ready to DNF this book so many times, but I persevered because some people claimed it was the best book they ever read and others told me it gets better.

People died and Sena had little emotion over someone who fought tooth and nail to make sure she was okay but nope lets turn it all back to Sena and how everyone dies around her because her moms died in the race and she's been struck with bad luck and decisions ever since (if you are annoyed I am only preparing you for the book because this happens a lot).

I wanted to love this book but excluding the last two chapters it felt like kissing a dead fish.
