Allison and her older brother Aidan are inseparable. Within the last couple of months, Allison has lost her boyfriend, best friend (whom she’s been best friends since they were little) and is constantly being harassed in school. She has been sent to the office 3 times within a couple months and clearly something isn’t right. Allison has begun to realize that all the girls are constantly at her throat and guys are constantly trying to grab her butt. When Allison gets into her third fight and is sent home, she is ready for what her mom has to say. When Allison spends the whole day in her room waiting for the worst, it turns out to be the complete opposite. Completely freaked out, she goes downstairs. Her mother then blurts out that Allison and Aidan are soon-to-be-werewolves. Of course, both double over in laughter and believe that their mother has completely lost her mind. Then they are faced with a wolf standing over them and begin to realize that their mother wasn’t kidding.Although it probably wasn’t the best decision on the mother’s part about leaving out a crucial part that they will be werewolves, they decide they have to move. They are forced to move back to the one town their parents wouldn’t think twice about– their mother’s hometown.Allison and Aidan are quickly thrown into the pack of werewolves their age and are greeted with some nice people.. Well, werewolves… And one not so nice one.. Kendall. Allison decides after a while to leave and is then confronted with a situation..My Thoughts:I was honestly nervous about how I was going to feel about this. The beginning was slow and almost predictable and at that point I was sitting at a 3-3.5 star rating. However, as the story went on, it started to pick up and become less predictable.I did though have a hard time really connecting with the characters. I did like a lot of the characters, but I felt that it was hard to connect with them. Maybe it could be the constant switching of point of views? I usually have a harder time relating to the characters if the point of views are changing.I haven’t read many if any werewolf books, so this was a great start! At first, it was kind of cliche of how their mom explained how they were werewolves. That may be the wrong word to use, but I don’t know…Oh my gosh, I DID NOT like Kendall (whom is the “leader” of Aidan and Allison’s generation). It didn’t help that some chapters were in her point of view. Wow, I just.. Hated that girl.The boys to look for– Wow.. Okay, pretty much any boy in this book is complete swoon-worthy. They have perfect hair, beautiful eyes, sexy body, okay, PERFECT EVERYTHING! The two boys that really “caught” my eye were Aidan and Cade. So, be aware!
