This is the first werewolf book I have read from outside the North American continent.  Most of the books of this type take place where they naturally find wolves in the Pacific northwest of the United States and Canada.  Nicky Charles' werewolf romance series comes to mind.It was intriguing to read a take on this genre from "across the pond".There were some confusing bits, especially in the beginning where only descriptions were used to identify people.  Also the dates that head each chapter can be confusing.  The reader has to keep a calendar in her head to figure out the timeline.The entire "philosophy" of werewolf society is unique as well.  Like the other books of this genre, most of the shifters live in "packs" and have a leader known as an "alpha".But this book provides more, excruciating, detail on what this society is like.  What "changing" actually feels like (apparently it is very painful).  The corporal punishments for rules infractions are very brutal.  Overall, it is more violent than similar books.In the case of Jaz, she was raised completely separate from this society by parents who are human.  Up until she is "kidnapped" by a mysterious family member, she has no idea she is even adopted.  She gradually learns more and more about her true nature, her "family" and her future.She slowly adapts to this knowledge, but not willingly.  Feisty is an understatement for this girl.  I absolutely love her tenacity.I do feel for Jaz.  Her anger at being kept out of the loop and being spoon fed the truth is palpable.  She is going through something so mind boggling, it is hard not to sympathize with all of the information she is learning.And coping with her feelings that she doesn't understand to someone who may possibly be her mate, and just so happens to be very important in the pack.Overall, a good paranormal read with a different twist.  If you can handle the bits of confusion in the beginning, it is well worth the read.  I look forward to the following books in the series.
