I wasn't sure starting out reading this, with being a bit wary after my taste of Twilight but Grace gives Bella a run for her money and is so much more likeable. I found myself sucked into the story very quickly. It reads at a fast pace, and it's realistic with the werewolf thing being seen as a disease you contract when you're bitten rather than magic. The characters are very 3D - I sat up late finishing it as I needed to know what happened to Sam in the finish.
