I do not normally read much YA but I am a fan of werewolf mythology and had the opportunity to download this book for free so I was excited to give it a shot. It surprised me how quickly I was engulfed by the story; when I put it down after my first read I was already 30% through. 
 Unexpected Alpha tells the story of a female werewolf entrusted to lead her pack after her father was killed. In the werewolf society there a very clear roles defined by gender so Selena is forced to overcome challenges no wolf has ever had to face before her. 
 Wicker does a wonderful job portraying the "lonely in a crowded room" sensation for Selena. As the Alpha of her pack she is often surrounded by people who either love her, or feel obliged to help her, but can do very little to help her achieve her ultimate goals. 
 My only complaint is a selfish one; the book ended with a lot of action and unanswered question. I wanted it to keep going. But that's just how series' work I guess. I am looking forward to purchasing the next book and joining Selena on her journey of understanding/identity.
