Eryn has recently moved to Redgrave, a town which she has been told has little to zero paranormal activity. Little did she know that that was the furthest from the truth that it could get. Now Eryn is faced with a power hungry vampire, werewolves and revelations she's not willing to accept, at the same time as dealing with the recent disappearance of her parents and her growing wolven abilities.There are quite a few things I didn't like about the book. The first chapter started off fast paced as we were quickly told about Eryn's current situation as well as being introduced to the paranorm world. After the first chapter, the later chapters became better paced. I also felt that lot of the humor came off as forced. The book had a few illustrations, which if omitted, would've been better as they were too distracting from the story.I did enjoy the characters though. Eryn was someone who never could stand being left behind, always took action and had a sharp tongue. Alec's crew consisting of himself, his brother Matt and Brit were also a well-rounded cast. In books the family are usually flat or non-existing but there was a great deal of spotlight on Eryn's Uncle Marcus and Aunt Sammi as well as her cousin Paige. Paige was pretty fun to read about although her character did come off as a stereotypical queen bee, but I'm glad there wasn't a lot of high school drama. Wade, the police chief's son, was my favourite out of the cast as he had the most depth.The romance was executed well and didn't come off as forced. Although I'd rather have seen how the romance between Eryn and Wade played out instead of that of Alec's. Although Under My Skin doesn't add anything new to the paranormal genre it was still a decent read and for those who are fans of vampire and werewolves this might be for you.
