I enjoyed this (long) short story about a quirky heroine who is having trouble sorting out her boy (or is that vampire/werewolf?) troubles. This light-hearted tale both pokes fun at and relies on the standard cliches of the paranormal romance novel, but it is never mean-spirited in its jabs.I enjoy a young adult paranormal romance every so often when I am in the mood for junk food reading, but (being a grown up) I sometimes have to stop and laugh at how ridiculous some aspect of the tale is before I shove back my disbelief and read on. You will really enjoy this short story if you think the same way I do. The characters, throughout, are often self-aware of the cliches they are perpetuating as they interact.The wolf pack is a bunch of sweet kids, and I enjoyed hanging out with them. Although I didn't always find them funny, I found their attempts at humor as teenage boys right on the money. It's always nice when the dialogue rings true.
