Maggie Steifvater is yet another author riding the twilight wave. Why not? Her novel has a different take on werewolves than the Twilight series and different than I have heard before. The boys become wolves in the winter but stay human in summer. They live in the frozen north near the Canadian border, must be chilly. This young adult werewolf romance will have a sequel in July.
The tone of the this novel had a depressive feel to it. A pallor was cast on the parts that were meant to be funny. It even put on damper on the climax, if there was one. I kept waiting for something to happen. The love story was sweet, but that’s pretty much it. It was just a love story with not much else happening.
