Helpful Score: 5

I really did not want to like this book. The book has so much publicity and I wanted to rebel and hate it. I really dislike overhyped books. As hard as I tried, I failed at disliking this book. In fact, my only disappointment came in the fact that I have no clue what is going to happen (yes, there is a cliffhanger) and frankly, I want to know!

This is a book about werewolves. Oh pardon me, do not call them werewolves, they are Guardians. It is also about witches and sorcerers, my bad- they are called Keepers. The Keepers created the Guardians long ago to protect some sacred sites. The Searchers are the bad people trying to find those sacred sites. Or are they bad? Hmmm, are you figuring out the mystery here?

The key to this book is Calla. As a Guardian, she has been raised to protect her pack, and follow the rules of the Keepers. She has been taught that she should not question them regardless of what looks like a bad outcome for her pack or herself. It is not until she meets Shay that she discovers that not everything is the way it appears.

There is a large cast of characters here and Ren is the one that I struggled with the most. In the beginning, I liked him. He is to be mated with Calla and he is a bit of a player. He seemed to have her best interest at heart and you really felt that he did care for Calla. In the middle of the book, I changed my mind and thought he was just a player and was controlling. Towards the end.. Im not telling since it will be a spoiler.

When I liked Ren, I disliked Shay and vice versa. The author did a great job of making you question what is really going on.

Overall, a very good read. I look forward to book 2!
