My Review
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)
Calla is a very determined and stressed out girl. She is destined to marry Ren who is the Sexy Alpha from the Wolfsbane clan. Calla is the Alpha for the Nightshade clan. Since they were born, they’ve been destined to be together, but is that what Calla actually wants now. When she saves a human boy from a bear in the beginning of the book and ends up meeting up back in her school with him, her feelings are becoming stronger for the human boy. She also becomes confused when she is around Ren. Maybe it’s just the wolf in her that loves Ren, and the other side loves the human. She is put through so many tests in this book, and she ends up screwing up a lot. Towards the end of the book, Andrea Cremer threw me off a it…but a good off. I’m so glad on what happened.. and Andrea Cremer left me hanging on the last chapter. Gotta love cliffhangers. I’m really excited about this series. Maybe my love for Vampires is finally over, and werewolves are growing on me more. Who knows…but this book proves that Werewolves are more of a fascination right now and I look forward to learning more about Calla and her world.

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
