Review:I received a copy of Howl from the group Read it and Reap on Goodreads so of course many thanks to the group mods and the author for their hardwork in giving us these great books to review.  I have to admit I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book, lately I have been into darker, more gritty urban fantasy, more explosions and gunfire and far less romance.  In the end though this was a very well written book I enjoyed a great deal.I have to admit it took a little while to get into this book but when I did I was hooked.  The heroine Sophie is a werewolf and comes from a very very close knit family of werewolves and there are rules and expectations for her.  First stay away from humans and second she is expected to find a werewolf mate and have lots of babies.  She breaks both rules when she meets Jamie and begins a secret relationship with him, defying her alpha and the expectations of her family.I really liked Sophie, she is a very confused 19yr old trying to live in two worlds, the human and werewolf.  She tries to follow her heart with her relationship with Jamie  while being torn at having to deceive her family.  Daniel also expresses his interest in Sophie and her family is trying to push her in his direction as well, but that boy has some secrets of his own.The story while fairly short moved along at a good pace and the climax was superb, if you are finding it slow at the beginning keep reading it gets very good very soon!  I loved how the werewolves were more human, while they still had enhanced senses there was no immortality or supernatural healing.  Yes there is the dreaded cliff hanger ending setting you up for the second book...there had better be a second book.  All in all I thoroughly enjoyed Howl and will definitely grab book 2.4/5  A great read go grab a copy
