Review: Great YA Wolf Story

This book was a very good YA story that I really enjoyed.  I often have trouble reading books with too much teen angst added to them, and when the story first started, I thought this one would be that type of book, but it absolutely was not.  There was, of course, SOME angst, with Chloe having trouble getting along with her parents (especially with the cause and result of a divorce), but let’s be honest…it would be HIGHLY unrealistic, and definitely not real teens if there wasn’t some of that!Chloe was hoping that in moving to a new, small town, she would have no problem getting people to like her, especially because it was normally so easy to get people to like her.  However, she had no idea how different this town was.  “Outsiders” were more than unwelcome; it appeared that everyone, especially “the pack”, who seemed to be the popular group, would do everything they could to chase outsiders back to where they came from.Chloe finally found a friend in Jenna, who did everything she could to be different from everyone else, even though that meant not having many friends herself.  Although with her goth look, it wasn’t someone Chloe would normally be friends with, they ended up being perfect friends.  Especially because Jenna’s cousin was the infuriating, yet highly intriguing object of Chloe’s attention.Ryan’s attitude started making much more sense once she found out he was a werewolf.  And although she wanted to run at first, she couldn’t.  The more she got to know Ryan and Jenna, the more she got to know more secrets about the town.  At the same time, she and the town found out there was one more big secret forming that was a danger to all of them.This book was a quick read, and mostly because I had a very hard time putting it down.  Every time I was about to, one more thing happened that drew me back in to find out what would happen next.  Although I did figure out the bad person pretty quickly, and that would normally be a letdown, it really wasn’t because wanting to find out what would happen next, and how everyone else came to the conclusion made up for it.  I did have a little trouble with how they “changed” from human to wolf, but it was only a mild distraction for me, and I would definitely read the book again.  I would really recommend it, and look forward to any future books from this author.Please do not share without giving Paranormal Reads/Erin full credit or without permission from the author or publisher.
