Grab Instantly The Wolf, The Witch And The Coffin Assembled By Ophelia Preston Supplied As Digital Format

AHEAD. YOUVE BEEN WARNED. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK,

To whoever thought about Narnia, let me tell you this story has NOTHING to do with that.
Its about supernatural beings, yes, but set in thest century, in New York, Also, the Wolf is the male character the Witch, the female lead who also happens to be the narrator, and the Coffin well, we lose sight of it by the first few chapters because it gets burned and turned to ashes.
Bummer. I was sort of hoping something interesting to happen with the thing, in case the

levels of creepiness werent enough it didnt happen, and it werent, in case youre wondering.


The story had potential, but I dont like the fast pace everything take here, Dont get me wrong. Fast pace is one of the best things a story has sometimes because it keeps you on your toes, biting your nails and reading until the ungodly wee hours of the morning.
However, thats not what happened here,

The idea, as I said, its a good one, even if a bit clichéd, But the protagonist who happens to be a powerful witch, and apparently the most powerful witch to exist narrate as if she were reading from a grocery list: I woke up.
I did this. I did that. Theres no elaboration, no description, no emotion, no nothing, I couldnt for the life of me, understand what her motivation was, Sure, there was instalove, but, honestly, take your time to make it a bit more exciting!

The kidnapping pissed me off beyond borders.
Why Well, to begin with, this woman simply helped her captors just because they didnt kill her or whatever.
Oh no. She woke up. She saw sand. She asked where she was, They told her they needed her to find a person, She argued she couldnt. All this in a way that made me wonder whether she was kidnapped or talking to someone in the middle of the street at noon.


Heck, someone kidnaps me and, at the very least, I want to punch him in the face.
Let alone help him! Not that I wouldnt understand his reasons waaaaaaaaaaaaay afterwards, but still, Couldnt you just ASK ME FIRST!!!

Nope, Not an option.

Lets talk about the unnecessary !!!! at the end of sentences that didnt need them.
I was annoyed by this because, seriously, woman Do you need to express emotion every seven sentences And Im leaving it at that.


The book was bad, Too many characters. Too many apparent stories mashed up together to pretend to be something that didnt quite made it, The witches reminded me of the ones from TVD and TO, both series I greatly dislike because its the same bullshit always, and are worse than a soap opera.

The Twilight reference kept me fuming, You dont need to reference the shiny vamps every time! But that seems to be the trend whenever a vampire is involved.


Then theres the werewolves,

Werewolves are part of the lore when vampires are involved, true, but I have never liked them too much.
I dont know why I simply dont like them, Maybe its the entire machismo thing going on the Alpha, and the pissing contest, Thats why Im so wary when I come across a book with such topic, In this one you have the Alpha falling for the witch nothing new there, people, the guy is gorgeous eye rolling, everyone, and to my surprise, he was possessive, but no the me take you to cave like a freaking Neanderthal.


That was the only good thing,

Like I said up there, too many people, The witch friend, her cousin, the pack, the grandma, the sister who stole the boyfriend, the sister who can see the future, the vampire who happens to be a spy, the vampire who happens to be the second in command, the vampire thats the antagonist, shady characters everywhere, and the immortal guy that youve known since always

Huh

Yep.
My thoughts exactly.

For a book with less thanpages including both covers, this was too much, The reason why the vampires wanted the city was a simple twist, an excuse, Its like the author didnt know what could answer the questions: Why do they want to challenge the wolf pack over a city theyve lived in for overyears And why now

I kept reading and found that it was just something thrown here.
No explanation, nothing. The Tablets of Thot the actual thing is The Book of Thoth, but Ill let this one slide.
For those of you who have no clue who Thot is, well, hes the Egyptian god of knowledge, among other things.
But dont be fooled, this god has no appearance whatsoever in this book except when mentioned,

Enter excuse number: the immortal dude,

This guys been wandering the Earth since Jesus literally, That tells me he probably has a teensy weensy more knowledge than the entire packs of the country all put together.
After all, who lives for overmillennia and doesnt learn a thing or two

But no.


This guy showed up as the immortal dude, yet he knew the protagonist from before, It never occurred to her there was something fishy about him Well, she could sometimes feel things from people, and no, I dont buy the excuse that her great grandmother didnt tell her who he was.


Anyway, this is way too much ranting already,

I liked the part where Emilia the female lead, by the way kicked some butts, Too bad it was poorly written, too little description to what could have been awesome fights, and too easily resolved.
It was more drama about her eating after dowsing I figured it must be some sort of scrying than what was actually happening.
Also, the chemistry between her and Chris the wolf was meh, Not at all the kind of thing youd expect from an Alpha male when he finds his mate.


The story could have benefited had the writer decided to take some more time developing the characters.
Theres never an understanding as to why Emilia can sense stones just that she does, She grew poor, seeing her father hunt, and when he didnt come up with something, they would starve.
Which begs the question: if she had this talent, this gift, for finding gems yes, yes, diamonds, sapphires, rubies you name it, how come she didnt use it She might have been a kid, but apparently her grandma also had this talent.
Why didnt she help her daughters family With just a few precious stones they would have lived comfortably.
Im not saying Hilton rich, just with enough money to make ends meet, Oh, yes. Emilia never went to college because her parents had no moneyand she hadother younger siblingsso she had to go to community college.


Once again: her ability to find gems

To say I was completely bothered by this is to put it mildly.
We never find out when she came into her power, but she said she always had it, Then, girl, please, dont cry misery, It would have been a better background portrait if you said your parents didnt want you using and abusing your gift, since using your abilities for personal gain tends to go against a witchs beliefs if youre a wiccan, which is never explained here either.


Its an average read, although I dont recommend it if you have something more interesting to read.
Apparently theres more books coming since this one ended without actually finding the guy who orchestrated the whole thing kidnapping, dethroning the Alpha male, taking over a city, instigating a war between species, and the end is about that guy, leaving a sort of cliffhanger.
Im not interested to know what happens next, tough, In case you do, please, let me know how it goes,

EDIT , After checking on Goodreads, I see there is no follow up for this story, which makes it even more sucky than it already is.
