I just finished reading City of Fallen Angels and Maia thankfully had a bigger role in this novel and I loved every second of it.

Maia is a fierce werewolf who’s not afraid to stand up for herself and do what she feels is best for her. She’s gorgeous and strong and has been through some terrible stuff but that doesn’t hold her back. After being turned into a werewolf against her will Maia found the strength in herself to leave her home and go to New York  to find her own pack.

Now she’s doing her own thing and she doesn’t take anyone’s crap. I’m like her for her strength but I made her this week’s WCW because of her ability to forgive those who hurt her. Plus, of course she’s hot.

“Patience, grasshopper,” said Maia. “Good things come to those who wait.”
“I always thought that was ‘Good things come to those who do the wave,'” said Simon. “No wonder I’ve been so confused all my life.” – City of Glass
