I'm giving this novel somewhere between 3 and 3.5 stars as I had rather mixed feelings about it. 
 First of all, let me start out by saying I got it through a Goodreads giveaway; thank you! Now, I'm going to divide this review into the positive and negative aspects of this book: 
 The good: 
 ~I liked the overall idea behind this read. The author did a rather good job at creating the the backdrop for the story. We're informed about the Lupine syndrome and how it has become an epidemic and we find out more about the history of this event as the story progresses. 
 ~Most of the characters were interesting and acted consistently throughout the novel. 
 ~The novel was well paced out and well written and a nice quick read :) 
 The middle ground: 
 ~The overall plot. It started out being quite intriguing and fun, but somewhere along the way it slowed down and by the time we got to the climax it was...well...very anticlimatic. 
 ~I wish we'd know why the LS epidemic started. We know there were werewolves in the past, but why did they start infecting so many people all of the sudden? (Maybe this is explained in the next book??) 
 The bad: (contains some spoilers) 
 ~The whole triangle thing...I get the relationship between Mac and Kyle and that part was actually well written...but Mac and Jason...it just seems very contradictory. She states that she would have stayed away from Jason if she knew he was in love with her while Amy was still alive, she keeps fighting with him, he almost kills one of her best friend... 
 ~It was predictable, very predictable. When Mac reads the police report she got from Jason it states that Amy was seen with a blond man. A couple paragraphs later it mentions Ben. I remember hoping that the white wolf wouldn't be Ben, that there would be some twist at thee end...but guess who the wolf turned out to be?? (Well, at least we do get some unexpected info about the character, but I wouldn't call that a plot twist :/ ) 
 ~The ending. I'm ok with books ending with a cliffhanger as long as there is at least some closure at the end. Here most things are left unresolved: Ben is still on the loose, Kyle left Hemlock and Mac leaves to look for him in the epilogue, and the list goes on... 
 What I'm trying to say is that when I started reading this it seemed very promising, but left me a bit disappointed when I finished. I guess I would recommend this to someone who likes this genre and is looking for a quick read, but I'd tell them not to expect too much from it.
