Curtis Klause’s novel is a coming-of-age book set in the world of werewolves— with forbidden love, painful decisions, jealousy and crime. As in any other world, it proves difficult for growing kids to find their identity, and in this case, the unusual setting adds to the pleasure of reading about it.
This is a well-researched vampire story based on numerous vampire myths from Eastern Europe and set in a grim village that can be vividly pictured in the mind’s eye.
