I read this book because it had a pretty cover & the author had a fantastic bio, something along the lines of "I became a writer because I was unable to obtain gainful employment..."--which I totally respect. 
 What surprised me is that it was a really sweet book. Nothing ground-breaking, and kind of sappy and over-wrought and teenager-y (16 year old me would have adored it), but it was sweet nonetheless. I needed some brain candy when I read this one and it fit the bill. 
 Werewolf mythology fascinated me when I was a kid (and wolves in general always have), and while I hadn't really thought about it in a long time, I appreciated that the author got creative with her werewolf premise. 
 Plus, that cover is just so pretty.
