Merissa (11704 KP) rated Heart of Outcasts in Books
Dec 11, 2023
HEART OF OUTCASTS is part of the Wolves of Autumn series, but I have no idea how many stories have gone before, or if this is a spinoff. And do you know what? It didn't matter one bit as I was thoroughly taken with this story.
Justin has had it hard, tougher than most people can contend with. He is still standing - just - and thinks a run will do him good, and put his problems on the back burner for at least a little while. What he doesn't expect is to be attacked by a werewolf and changed. Bjarni is the one who finds him and takes him back to their pack. The connection between the two is instantaneous but Bjarni is straight... isn't he?
Oh, man. I loved these two. I loved how everyone was with Justin, who so desperately needed that affection. And I really really loved how it provided him the strength to make Bjarni court him. Too many times, I've read where one of the MCs is hurt, the other says 'sorry', and that's all. All forgiven. Justin's behaviour was completely believable, and I loved it all.
Justin was healing from years of abuse, and Bjarni, the same but in different ways. Their past was very different, but hopefully, their future will be bright. There is a dark moment where Justin dreams and then remembers something that was done to him when he was turned. This was incredibly horrible and I adored how it was written and everyone's reactions to it.
This was a fantastic story that I loved and would love to return to this world. And catch up with Justin, Bjarni, Magne and Su, Thorstein and Raina, plus all the others. Absolutely brilliant and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.
