This book will do for werewolves what "Twilight" did for vampires! From the very get go I was totally emmersed in this story. Jessie is struggling to come back after the death of her mother. However, making the girl that killed you mother your best friend, may not be the smartest move she's ever made. Then in walks Pietr (Peter)...her whole life turns upside down. She is drawn to him, but so is her best friend Sarah. Jessie pushes Sarah and Pietr together...even though she and Pietr both have feelings for each other. When Jessie discovers that she and Pietr share a common tragedy, losing a parent, or in Pietr case both parents, they vow to be there for each other no matter what. Jessis knows that Pietr is hiding something from her, but she's going to find out. Once she does though...will her feelings for Pietr change? Will she be able to trust him? The ending if this book will leave you stunned and amazed and wanting more!

I really enjoyed this book! Shannon cracked me up by having Jessie addicted to what else...VAMPIRE BOOKS :)! It made me giggle! I thought the characters were well rounded and yet each one is harboring secrets that can really hurt someone else. Peitr has so many great attributes...kind, gentle, sad, protective, hot...the list can go on and on! IT is a MUST READ!!! Put it at the top of your reading lists...you will NOT regret it!!

I gave this book 4 stars!
