Blurb:
A pack of wolves hunt a girl who takes her last breath by a river’s edge.
She is found and nursed back to health by the kind-hearted Nhil people.
She has no memory.
No past.
And is given a choice that could change her forgotten life forever.
A pack of wolves adopt a man who begs for death in the grasslands.
Blood revives him. Flesh strengthens him. All while the alpha watches him as if he knows who he is.
He has no memory.
No past.
And yet…he’s drawn toward the smoke of a faraway clan.
And in that smoke, he finds a girl with the same mark on her thigh, the same empty mind, and the same forgotten language on her lips.
He’s convinced they know each other.
She’s certain they are strangers.
But the more time they spend together, the more tangled the truth becomes.
Their forgetfulness was deliberate.
To keep them apart.
To keep them lost.
To keep them from claiming their true power.
Because in that power exists a terrible choice.
A choice that could destroy the world…
…or each other.
My Opinion:
I really love Pepper Winters Dark Romance books and that's why I was excited to read her Fantasy debut. Being always so fascinated by Pepper Winter's Dark Romacne books, I had high expectations for „When a moth loved a bee". I really liked the cover and the good writing style, as usual, really got me into the story. Unfortunately I have to say that I did not finished the book after about 200 pages.
The entire book is about 900 pages and I was more bored than excited. Everything was described in great detail... unfortunately most of the time too detailed, so that the actual plot made no real progress. I've started to flipp the chapters more or less because nothing worth mentioning happened. And after almost 200 pages, I just had no interest and no strength to continue reading the book.
It really hurts me to write that, because I like the author very much, but it just doesn't work here. I highly recommend all of Pepper Winters' Dark Romance books. But her Fantasy debut was unfortunately wasn’t for me and I can't recommend it.
The rights to the covers lie with the respective publisher / author! This book was made available to me as a review copy by Hodder & Stoughton. All reviews reflect my honest opinion.
