#Tour #Giveaway & #Review of Wild by Alex Mallory @SaundraMitchell #Hosted @TUABFC

The forest is full of secrets, and no one understands that better than Cade. Foraging, hunting, surviving— that’s all he knows. Alone for years, Cade believes he’s the sole survivor. At least, until he catches a glimpse of a beautiful stranger…
Dara expected to find natural wonders when she set off for a spring break camping trip. Instead, she discovers a primitive boy— he’s stealthy and handsome and he might be following her. Intrigued, Dara seeks him out and sets a catastrophe in motion.

Thrust back into society, Cade struggles with the realization that the life he knew was a lie. But he’s not the only one. Trying to explain life in a normal town leaves Dara questioning it.

As the media swarm and the police close in, Dara and Cade risk everything to get closer. But will the truth about Cade’s past tear them apart?

My Review- 3.5 Stars

 (Take It Or Leave It AND It Was Worth The Read)

So this I was so happy to be able to read!  I ADORE retellings and this one was no different.  Although this did take a little to get going. It was still worth the read.  I am giving it my FIRST EVER half stars! So this one will be under both 3 and 4 stars.  I am doing this because i'm torn.  Although it was a great book.  It was a little long I think it would have been a 5 star book if it would have been shortened to around 250-300 pages.   But, even with that this is a GREAT retelling of Tarzan.  I loved the way that the author introduced the characters. As well as creating a new story for Tarzan.  It was fresh and a great story that I am happy that I got the chance to read it. 

Go Into This One Knowing

Go into this one knowing that the story takes a little time to get really started.  The love interest seems forced. Also know that the last 150 pages will be very hard to get through.  I myself ended up skimming a lot of the way.  I think this one suffered from being way to long. So a lot of it felt like filler.
