What this book is about
Vivian Gandillon is a werewolf from a pack trying to rebuild after tragedy, and she's fallen for Aiden, a human boy who writes poetry about wolves. But her pack has expectations of her, the leader wants her, and her own nature is more savage than her daydreams about human life. Annette Curtis Klause's atmospheric YA novel is darker and more morally complex than most paranormal romance — Vivian's relationship with her own predatory nature and the pack's violent traditions create genuine tension.
