Reading the last page of this story, I definitely wanted more, but knowing this is book one, I'm pretty good with how things left off for now. With that said, I very much so loved reading this novel. It was beyond great! I'm very big on characters, seeing if they are believable and if they are relatable, and I thought the characters written here were just that. There is Allison, who is seen in the beginning of the story, in a fight; actually that happens on page one, but quickly we see her as one that had a boyfriend, a lot of friends, and just months prior, there was no more boyfriend or close friends. Her only best friend is her older brother, Aiden (whom was a sweet character, loved him!). Anyways, we see that Alli is not a troubled girl, but unfortunately finds herself in situations that instantly happen, and she can't get out of them. For instance, one girl calls her a name that no girl wants to be called, and Alli does not take that, and gets in a fight, and thus gets in trouble...again. Others have a misconception of Alli's persona, and I found this to be a relatable aspect, as this happens to people. So right off the bat, we see Allison as not a sociable person, and things just get better when her Mom announces to her kids (Alli and Aiden) that she is a werewolf and they will become one too. Interesting huh? From there, the story really takes off, and from Texas, Allison and her family move to Red Ridge, New Mexico, and there Allison hopes to have a new start, new beginnings.Once at the 'Estate' where other families from the Pack reside, Allison eventually meets Cade Walker. When they meet they actually don't speak to one another, it's something entirely different, and I thought pretty sweet, but you just gotta read to find out how they meet! There is definitely an instant connection between her and Cade, but what stands between them, sometimes literally, is Cade's girlfriend, Kendall. Yup. You will see that Kendall is no picnic. She does not like Allison, and even humiliates her at one point (that was so bad, just so bad) but what she forgets that Allison is one tough girl, and well you'll see what happens. The story itself was developed very creatively. I really enjoyed reading it, and found there to be unexpected surprises, some good, and well, some bad, but it leads to a cliffhanger that gets me really excited for Book 2. I also liked the changing in point of views between Allison, Cade, and Kendall. I was not so sure reading about Kendall's POV, but actually I thought you understand her more, her character, her background, and perhaps at one point, you might even feel sorry for her. This was a great story, as said before, and I do encourage you to read this, as there is love, jealousy, action, adventure, and a whole lot more. This is a novel I Recommend! :)
