Ultimately, this book was hard to put down, at least, toward the end. Now . . . the heroine was not at all likeable for the majority of the book which makes it hard to keep reading. The constant flashbacks to 5 years ago or 10 years ago, etc., were sometimes hard to take, but they did give us some background into Ruth . . .not so much into "Wolfman". In my opinion, the story really didn't get good until the last 1/3 of the book and then it was hard to put down. And, I think towards the end, Ruth realized she wanted to change in a lot of ways. I ended up really liking the book except the end was really abrupt and didn't tell us much at all. So, I guess I would recommend Ruthless for the action towards the end, and overall it ended up being a good story. If my understanding is correct, this set out to be a YA book, but I personally feel the topic is a little advanced for younger audiences.
Thrilling!

This was a fantastic book! Ruth is one of those girls I would be terrified of in real life. She strong, confident & knows she’s the best. She refuses to give up & let herself get hurt easily. She’s resourceful & intelligent. I honestly wished the book were longer & we got to see a little bit more past where it ended but it was a great read!
