Willow by Amy Ritchie is the story of a 17 year old girl, Willow, who is struggling with  trying to be a normal teen when she is anything but.  Willow is a werewolf and as if that isn't difficult enough, she is given leadership of a pack of high school age malewerewolves.I really enjoyed this story and thought it was a fun read.  I loved the different spin on the werewolf pack dynamics - one female leader with a pack of males devoted to her...what girl wouldn't like that.  I also really liked the characters in the story.  All of the characters were well developed and had their own unique personality.  I enjoyed getting to know the boys of the pack and I liked seeing how their personalities blended together and made the pack stronger.  I really liked Willow and I thought that she was a great heroine.  It was interesting seeing her grow from a teen who didn't want to be a pack leader to a strong leader who's pack stood behind her against enemies.  I also enjoyed the interactions between Willow and Gage and her pack.The story was a little predictable at times (for example, I guessed Gage's secret very quickly) but there were also some surprises (like the friendship that develops between Willow and Carlie).If you enjoy YA paranormal stories and werewolf stories, then you should definitely check out Willow.*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
