The Wolf's Cry is incredibly unique and creative.  Filled with fascinating characters, incredible journey's and a world that will leave you in awe, it was certainly a book that will stick in my memory for a very long time.We start out with Kammy on an island in England.  We see she's desperate to get away and we see what she goes through each day.  We're by her side when she discovers a burrow which leads to another world.  Things go awry quickly and terrified Kammy is sent on an unforgettable journey where she is introduced to a new world and new friends.  Sometimes fueled by desperation and other times fueled by the need to do right, she quickly learns more about this world and soaks up everything she can about it.Kammy is a great character and while initially I had thought I might get annoyed at her because she seemed like she might be the sort that just screams in horror and denies the magic around her. That ended up not being the case at all.  Because it's all life or death in the beginning and she's desperate to be safe she has to quickly accept what she sees and move on.  In this world the people are shapeshifters.  It seems like that would give this more of a paranormal feeling, but that wasn't the case at all.  It definitely felt fantasy, and I suppose that's because we are in this other world that is very fantasy'ish.The world was fantastic!  I felt like it was explained just enough to be able to picture and imagine it.  Any questions I had were answered by the end though I realize that I'm curious about how large it is.  I'm guessing that's something we'll find out as the series continues.  But the world, to me, was brilliant and I'm anxious to discover more of it.All the secondary characters were fantastic.  While Kammy is definitely the main character we did get brief periods where we are with the others and see more of how they think and what's going through their heads.  It was nice to see the other perspectives and know what was going on elsewhere.There's not really a romance in this book, but I feel like there's one possibly developing.  Right now they are finding their footing as friends but it seems there's a layer of something there that I believe will become a romance.  Maybe once things are more figured out and they are able to stop running for their lives.The ending has me very eager to read the next book!  It's not really a cliffhanger, but very close to one.  And it got those emotions going!  I'll definitively be anxious to see where things go next.This is a clean read, appropriate for the younger and the older.  The characters are older teens though.
