Cheesecake's Reviews > Claimed by the Alphas: Part One

Each book is just a short story. The setting is a world like ours but where 'Were creatures' are various and many and control most of the wilderness. Small towns that exist near pack territories make deals with the packs to ensure safety. Mila moves to her mother's home town and finds herself volunteering to be the mate of the Alpha of the local werewolf pack because apparently female Weres are infertile. Sucks for them! The Lazarus Werewolf pack has two alphas who are good friends and work well together as they each have their own strengths. Asch is the diplomat and Caim is the Warrior and closer to his wolf nature. For the most part, I did like the world building and the way the author would use the logistics of the world to create/further the plot so that the plot and the setting were integrally related.
This all sounded so good at the start, BUT Mila is an annoying ninny throughout all 6 booklets. In fact most of the characters were unforgiveably annoying... except maybe Caim (well some of the time). I got to about 3/4 into the audiobook and it was almost a DNF for me, but I thought I made it this far... Then to top it all off, at the end there's this bogus excerpt from Mila's favourite author. It is basically the author getting up on her soapbox with 'There's no such thing as an HEA, as life goes on and sh*t happens (except worded in a more snobby know-it-all manner)'. Well no sh*t sherlock. I don't read trashy romance novels for life lessons. sheesh!
