Dayna Dalton
was sick of her life. She was tired of all the drinking and shoddy one-night
stands. Apparently, she had no shame at all. So why did she feel like she was
punishing herself? Regardless, the girl had no fear.
“Dayna knew she had a
way with guys, could get them to do anything she wanted, but somehow Clay was
different. She had a built-in reputation, care of her mama. Didn’t matter if
she was free with herself or not; she was Becky Dalton’s white-trash daughter,
and that was enough for the town.” (17)
All Dayna
ever wanted was Clay, but when he didn’t return her affections, she bounced
from guy to guy with an empty feeling. Men meant nothing to her. But when
Clay’s marriage went under, he became fair game.
Dayna
certainly had a dark side, certainly a possessive one when it came to Clay. I
mean, she was practically obsessing over him, watching every move he made.
Then an
attack in the woods leaves her confused and disoriented. Was it a wolf? Or…was
it something else?
The writing
was good, and I liked that there was an air of mystery and darkness. The
direction of the story certainly alluded to some bigger force beyond
comprehension; however, the plot remains ambiguous. You don’t really know
what’s going on. All we have is a voice that speaks to Dayna.
Overall,
this was a decent read.
My rating: 3 stars
