Review Detail

Once again Nancy Holder delivers a winning tale. This well-written paranormal puts a twist on the usual werewolf tale. The characters are multi-layered and likeable. Some have called this a Twilight like book and I totally disagree. For one thing I loved knowing more about Katelyn and the secrets of the small town Wolf Springs which are peeled back slowly.

Katelyn life changes when her mother dies and she is thrust from the big city to a small town. Wolf symbols are everywhere including at the high school. It seems everyone in the town, including her grandfather, have secrets. There's two cute guys in town: Trick, who's the mysterious hot guy and then Justin, who has a magnetic pull. Trick seems to be holding something back and Justin runs hot and cold.

There isn't the usual, cliche mean girls in Wolf Springs. Cordelia, is subtle with her barbs and shows her vulerabilities. The reader isn't sure what to make of Cordelia. I have a feeling more will be coming from her in the sequel.

I picked this book up and literally devoured it in one day. I couldn't put it down. The twist comes toward the middle of the book. Let's just say Katelyn is no Bella. I thought at the very beginning she showed spirit. She tries to fight against coming to Wolf Springs but ends up figuring she can last a year which to me is very realistic. Katelyn is persistent in wanting to know the truths behind the veiled lies and goes out of her way to find out more even when this might cause her serious problems.

There's a great cliffhanger of an ending too.

I'm a huge Nancy Holder fan and can't wait for the next book in this series.
