"A Unique werewolf story"
River Wolfe is not happy, and she doesn't care who knows it.
She's also a werewolf, which is what she's unhappy about.
Just a year ago, she was living a perfectly ordinary life,
until the bite of a horrible beast destroyed her life
forever, taking away family and everything else she held
dear. The beast: a human being. And she'll do whatever it
takes to find him and make him tell her how to reverse the
change...Even go to high school. This is a terrific book, filled with unique and well-drawn
characters, realistic dialogue, and a great deal of humor,
as River has to deal with a sudden and undesired
transformation into a species that makes no sense to her.
Nor do her friends understand her most of the time, but they
feel the effects of her nature as she struggles to recover
the pack she lost. I just stumbled across this, ordered it and finished reading
it in the same day.

| SUMMARY |
|
Defiant, nocturnal, moody, and short tempered. Though she sounds like a typical teenager, River is anything but. She's a werewolf. River was once the alpha female of a wolf pack, until one night when she was attacked and bitten by a mysterious human. When she awoke, she found herself completely alone, and changed into a young human girl. Three years later, after being thrust into a world where she doesn't belong, and living in foster care, River believes she'll never know who bit her or why. Then one day in school, all that changes. Enter Daryl, who seems to be a normal teenage boy, though River recognizes him for what he is: the human that changed her. He holds the answers to all her questions, but only offers vague responses. He seems to be a step ahead of her at every turn, giving her only enough information to create even more questions. Although they're playing his game, River is determined to win. As if being stuck in a world she hates, with a life she never asked for, and faced with a destiny she doesn't want wasn't bad enough, River still must find a way to survive every human's greatest challenge: high school.
