Vivian Gandillon, a sixteen year-old werewolf, feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland, new home of the now leader-less pack that fled from West Virginia after having been discovered. Still mourning the loss of her father, former pack leader, she longs to be normal in this strange new town. She falls in love with Aiden, a human meat-boy, and ends up hurt in the end. With her pack in disarray, she can't help but feel guilty when a series of brutal murders threatens to expose the pack yet again. Is she guilty or is she being framed? Feeling rejected, she becomes stuck between both worlds, between her human and beast form, until the unexpected happens. She finds herself, accepts who she is. I really liked this book as well as the movie based on this book, although they differ considerably in plot. I would recommend both, a good coming-of-age story!
