Having fallen for a human boy, a beautiful teenage werewolf must battle both her packmates and the fear of the townspeople to decide where she belongs and with whom.I read this book for the Teen Book Group for October. The main character is a werewolf and after the Twilight series, I was prepared for the worst. Quite surpisingly, I really enjoyed this book. It was well written with interesting characters and didn't drag on for 700 pages. I love a good female character, and the main charcater, Vivian, is strong, sexy, confident and brave. There aren't a lot of suprises in this book, but it was a fun read. The author is a Children's Librarian in Maryland!
"Few recent novels involve readers in such multiple levels of engagement. The climax is bittersweet and poignant. There are sexual overtones, both subtle and overt as Vivian's sexual awareness surfaces in scenarios throughout the book, as she struggles between human flirtation and her animal nature. There is no doubt that Blood and Chocolate is gripping, thrilling, and original." - School Library Journal
