Claire's life had been quite normal until the day she turned sixteen. Her mother delivers the shocking news: Claire is a werewolf. In fact, her mother is also a werewolf. Since Claire has reached the age of transformation, she'll be initiated into the all-female werewolf pack. As if this big life change weren't enough to deal with, there is also a rogue werewolf that is attacking humans, and Claire's pack is trying to figure out who it is so that they can stop her. Everyone in town is on high alert, afraid they'll be the next victim of the violent werewolf. Claire's new boyfriend, Matthew, happens to be the son of a man who is determined to hunt down and kill all of the werewolves. Is Claire endangering herself and her pack by becoming too close to Matthew? Will they find the rogue werewolf before anyone else gets hurt?
I really liked the way that the author introduced a twist on the typical werewolf story. All werewolves are female in Claire's world, and it's a hereditary condition passed down from mothers to daughters. The daughters are initiated into a pack once they come of age. Also, in this story, humans know that werewolves exist, even though they may not necessarily know who the werewolves are.
This is a unique coming of age tale with suspense, mystery, and romance. This is the author's debut novel, and I look forward to the sequel, Nocturne.
