The night of Claire Benoit's sixteenth birthday changes her life and world forever. That's the night that she learns she is a werewolf. She also learns that all werewolves are females and that killing humans is against the rules of the pack.

But there is a rogue werewolf that has been doing just that. And the killings are effecting the relationship with her crush, Matthew - whose father is heading up a werewolf hunt. She must keep her new-found life a secret from Matthew and her best friend.

Nothing will ever be the same again!

While I have seen this book on many blogger's WoW or Wish List posts, I hadn't read any reviews of the book, so I went into reading the story with no idea of what it would be like. And that was kind of refreshing for a change.

There wasn't too much action in this book - mostly just little snippets at the beginning of some chapters and towards the end. I definitely think it's a book driven by characters. There is some suspense and wonder about who the rogue werewolf is, but it's mostly about how Claire deals with learning about her future as a werewolf and about dealing with a first love. I really liked both Claire and her boyfriend, Matthew. They both seemed like such real teenagers.

When you get to the end of the book, there are two ways that the story could go. One that would be heartbreaking and one that would be a happily-ever-after. I won't give away what happens, but I like the choice that author Christine Johnson made.
