It was a good story for a werewolf novel.  I don't read very many of them and did not know this was a werewolf novel until I was already reading the book.  I probably would not have read it had I known it was a werewolf story.  That being said, I liked the mystery.  I did not find the constant weakness of Adriana helpful to the story.  It made sense at the beginning of the story but became an annoyance when it stayed throughout the story.  There is a hint that Adriana may have some hidden latent power but it is not revealed in this story.  I felt that Adriana's character development was lacking.  It was hard for me to respect or feel empathy for someone who constantly fainted when life felt overwhelming.  There were many moments in the story when her pain and grief were very real to me.  There were some Twighlight similarities which were not needed to make this a good story.  Some of Adriana's responses about her outward appearance were a bit contrived and annoying. No one (not even Adriana) believed that she was ugly and unattractive. That being said I found the story interesting.
