I didn’t cover it in this post because this one was just focused on the Other Women Suck issue, but I couldn’t stand how the love interests behaved here either. They fought over her like an object, one touched her in front of the other when he was wounded and couldn’t do anything just to piss him off, and neither seemed to respect her voice or agency at all.
Her past with Samuel was CREEPY. He was actually like 90 or something when she was fourteen and necking with him in the woods. I don’t care if he didn’t look that old, I don’t care if she swears he doesn’t act that old, that is MESSED UP. And her present with Adam isn’t much better. She finds out that he claimed her as his mate before his pack…and never asked her permission on this, nor told her about it later. Apparently he ‘had’ to do it because otherwise the werewolves would kill her for being a coyote in their territory, but that doesn’t excuse not TALKING to her about it. And at the end, when they’re on a date, he orders her dessert for her and she says normally she’d hate that but it’s okay because it’s something she likes. Uh, yeah. Normally the desert thing would seem petty to mention but considering how he spends the rest of the novel not giving a shit about her input, it’s telling to me.
