If You Like Werewolves...




So this book is a YA book, but being a Jacob Black fan ( a la Twilight fame) I thought I would give it a try. Overall, the book was enjoyable and it addressed the topic of werewolves in a very different manner.

In the book we meet Grace, who is attacked by wolves as a child and saved by one of their pack. Since then, she is fascinated by "her wolf". The years pass and Grace becomes a young woman, when the wolves attack another - a teenage boy from her school In response, the local community sends out hunters to address the "wolf problem". Concerned for "her wolf", Grace tries to stop the attack but is unable to do so. She is surprised to later find a wounded young man on her back patio with the same yellow eyes as her wolf...

What follows is the story of Grace and Sam and the relationship between them. It's a predicatable love story in many respects, but what is interesting about the story is how the author treats being "biten" as having some sort of virus. Will Grace be able to help Sam find a cure before she loses him to the Pack forever?

  1. I just read this, and I really liked it. Although I do agree that it was a little too predictable. Still, well written, and a quick and entertaining read.
