Review: 5 stars is SO not enough!!
Rating: 5 out of 5

"Willow" is about Willow Bennett, an average 17-year-old high-school student. Who happens to be a werewolf. Who just found out she's been nominated to lead a pack of other young werewolves. All while navigating the joys of typical high school life and trying not to get seen/caught/killed in the process.I just have to get this out there: I'm absolutely CRAZY about this book!!! From the very start, Willow's personality just dragged me into the story and never let me go. The way she handles things is exactly how I would expect a 17-year-old girl to deal with being a werewolf, let alone a leader with all these new-found responsibilities thrust upon her: she's sarcastic, emotional, a "doubting Thomas," but ultimately she takes everything in stride (once she gets a few good remarks in). There are so many wonderful characters, it's hard to pick a favorite, and all the members of Willow's pack just mesh so well together, it feels like you're a part of it, too.I don't think I've been pulled into a book so well in years. This is not "Twilight," don't even compare it. This story has background, twists, turns, a little romance (but not too much), and in the end, it definitely leaves you craving the next part of the series. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars, but I guess I'll just have to settle for that. Bravo, Amy Richie, you've made a lifetime fan in me. =)
