Werewolves. Since the
beginning of time, from the very first scary story ever told, Werewolves
have always been grotesque. Made from nightmares. But over the past few
years, Weres have transformed from feral creatures, to gorgeous, model
like paranorms. Made from daydreams. (Not that I'm complaining! :D )
Recently, I have been turned into a wolf girl. And I have Shannon Delany to thank for that!
Jessie Gillmansen did
not count on coming to school to show around the new student. Definitely
not on her to do list. All she wanted was to live her life without any
change. But every since her mother's death, everything has been
changing. Including the residence of Junction. And I do mean changing.
Pietr Rusakova, the new guy with gorgeous looks, has a secret. Now
Jessie's biggest fear - change - is coming true.
I instantly loved
Jessie. She knows what she wants and will do what she can for it. And
she has smarts. Though I may argue with that statement when it comes to
her boy smarts! I did have a few times were I wanted to shake her and
yell "What is wrong with you!?!" But that is when we know we are
connecting with the characters we are reading.
Speaking of
connections, I loved the one between Jessie and Pietr. They are great
together. Bickering a lot, yes. But that always means so much more than
it is.
Pietr was a fantastic
character. You could tell he had something he always wanted to say to
Jessie, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Well, because he wasn't
allowed to. Whenever he was in the scene you could tell that Jessie lit
up, and you lit up with her!
The storyline is
wonderful. I thought I had everything figured out when I first started
reading, but there are so many shocking moments you aren't expecting.
That makes a great book. Expect the unexpected. Keeps you on your toes.
The ending leaves you wanting a lot more. More Jessie. More Junction. Definitely more Pietr!
If you are a wolf fan. Or a paranormal fan. Or a young love fan. You should pick up 13 to Life by Shannon Delany!
