Wow!  I wasn't really expecting this to be what it was.  Let me explain:  The books I normally read from Cynthia Eden are, of course, shifter stories with a dominant male "and" woman who struggle to go through some intense life adventures while going through hot and heavy sexual escapades.  THIS story was not really like that.  It was SO MUCH BETTER!!  You have a teenager who has an incredible gift/curse, depending on whose thinking it, who has moved to a new town with her father.  She meets a few people, who also have a few secrets.  There are also some wolves that wander in the woods.  This story grabs you right from the beginning and just keeps going!  There are some love interests, little humor, some action, a couple of BIG surprises and a few spots where it will tug your heart.  But all in all, it is a really good 1st book.  Because there will be a second book called:  The Better To Howl that is coming out sometime this year.  So, after me raving about how good this story was, why am I not giving it 5 stars?  Because unfortunately, there were a few areas that was a little predictable and it did give some things away in the story.  HOWEVER, there is enough in the story that is really good that helps you overlook this flaw.  All in all, I highly recommend this book.  (Just as an FYI, there are no sexual content in this book to be offensive to any young adult readers.)
