Golden Mane gets into the meat of the story promptly. When Sarah gets into a fight at school and the girl ends up with a nasty bite, we find out what Sarah really is. Her parents went missing when she was young so she lives with her aunt and uncle. They get along great, and she also has another Uncle who she seems to favor. Uncle Benjamin.Obviously after biting a classmate, regular school is out of the question. Uncle Benjamin, however, has her schooling covered. All number of supernatural beings are both taught and taught about. The school setting is like Harry Potter in a way, but instead of different houses there are different races. In places it almost reads like a humanities lesson, but in a good way.Golden Mane isn't your everyday werewolf novel, and that is quite the relief. In a field of such overplayed characters, it is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend it and anticipate the second and third book in this series.
