I've read a few recommendations for this book and I'm glad I didn't wait to to read it. Full Blooded is the first book in a new series about werewolves and other supernaturals. 
 This story deals with Jessica McClain daughter of the Northern American wold Alpha. Jessica is also the only female ever born to a werewolf. Since there has never been another female Jessica was resigned to the fact that she would never be a "full blood". She ends up experiencing her first change at twenty-six. What results from her change is a great werewolf book that definitely sets itself apart from other werewolf books. 
 There were definitely some things that were reminisient of other werewolf books. Probably most notably was the fact that Jessica is the only female werewolf which reminds me of Kelley Armstrong's Bitten. But this is where similarities with that series end. Amanda Carlson definitely had opportunity to go the same way that other werewolf stories go. I mean there's only so much mythology that can be done concerning werewolves. While Full Blooded is nothing not completely new with its storyline, it does read very fresh and it holds its own. Carlson definitely made decisions with her characters and the story that I wasn't expecting which was nice. I hate it when stories become too predictable. 
 Jessica was a good female character. She was faced with a lot of bad situations in a short amount of time, yet she never became whiny about it. She was ready to take on whatever was thrown at her and do whatever she needed to do to help protect her pack. I also liked that Carlson made Jessica's wolf almost a separate entity from her human side. 
 Of course there is romance thrown into the story and like a lot of everything else, I'm happy that Carlson decided to go in a different direction than I would have thought before beginning the book. 
 While the book focuses mainly on werewolves there are other supernaturals in the book such as vampires and witches. 
 The book ends on a slight cliffhanger which will take us nicely into the next bookHot Blooded which will be released in April. 
 Lately, I've felt like a lot of the urban fantasy / fantasy books that I've been reading have started to become a little predictable and reading the same. If you're looking for something fresh I highley recommend Full Blooded.
