I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Year of the Wolf takes place in Seoul South Korea. The story follows Citlalli, a young woman who was uprooted from her American life and forced to move to Korea with her mother after her oldest sister disappeared without a trace. Now she has to try to rescue her sisters from the Vampires, and in the mean time being turned into a werewolf when she interferes in what she believes is a mugging of a homeless person by a couple of thugs.I really enjoyed this book learning little bits of Korean lore. There were a few places where the story seemed disjointed, almost as if the author had a hard time trying to merge a Korean mythos into an Americanized understanding, or as if she really did not know how to put across the idea that she was wanting to get across. Overall though, this story was a good success, and I look forward to the following books in the series.
