Allison Wright's life was suddenly taking a turn for the worst. She's been having unexplained mood swings, has been getting into fights at school, and has been having weird dreams and hot flashes. She knows something is wrong, but she can't put her finger on what's happening to her. She desperately wants to be normal, but her body has other ideas.Going to her mother in regards to the changes she's experiencing, Allison is thrown for a loop when her mother admits she's a werewolf. She succinctly tells her that what she's feeling is normal and that it'll all pass, but Allison isn't so sure. Her emotions are in a turmoil and she just wants to break whatever she can get her hands. The constant warring within her makes it difficult for her to get along with her others. Deep inside, she's trying, but the wolf within her isn't playing nice.When the situation escalates and not much else can be done, she finds herself en route to New Mexico with the rest of her family. Reluctantly, they're on their way to join the rest of the pack her mother left behind twenty years ago in hopes that living with other werewolves will help Allison understand what she's going through and help her learn how to manage the beast residing inside of her.Attracting the attention of the pack's alpha-in-waiting, Cade Walker, Allison is thrilled, yet also unsettled, by the fact that he's noticed her. He's good-looking and incites her senses in ways no one else ever has. Unfortunately, he's taken and his girlfriend won't let him go without a fight. A fact Kendall makes known every chance she has.Forbidden from seeing one another, Allison does her best to follow the rules that have been set. She knows she and Cade can never be together, even though her heart won't accept that face. When attempts on her life are made, Allison realizes there's more afoot than she thought there was. Someone's out to get her and wants to make sure she remains out of the picture. When others are caught in the crossfire, she realizes that no one is safe. Determined to finish what someone else started, Allison decides to do her best in setting things straight before someone else gets hurt in the process.This was quite an intriguing book. I loved that the action set off from the beginning and continued consistently with every turn of the page. I think the author did a wonderful job in bringing out Allison's emotions as she tries to deal with the situation at hand. We're able to feel her pain, her anger, her indecisions, and her happiness as she discovers more about who and what she is. The ending was certainly a bit of a cliffhanger, but I can't wait to see what happens next once book two comes along.Please Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
