Reading Level: Young Adult
(4 out of 5)
Calla Tor is a Guardian. A Guardian is a wolf that turns into a human. Guardians are bodyguards to the Keepers and they protect them from the Searchers. But are the Keepers really the good guys like they say they are? Did you get all that?
This book opens up with Calla saving the life of a human boy, which is forbidden. Then your flung right into the story. Calla is the alpha of her young Nighshade wolf pack and she is destined to marry the alpha of the young Bane wolf pack. She's okay with her destiny until the human boy she saved turns up at her high school. Then her destiny gets all turned upside down. I was a little confused at first at who each group was, Guardians, Keepers, and Searchers. It finally made sense once Calla starts to explain it to the human boy Shay. Besides that I really liked this book. I really liked the characters. The adults I could have done without. Many were cruel and heartless. I'm not sure I would want to live in this world.
In the second book you find Calla has chosen a different path and opened up a huge can of worms. By choosing Shay she has set a collision course that no one could have predicted. But the house of cards has to come tumbling down. It's just sad at the amount of people that have to suffer for that to happen. I wonder who Calla will really end up with, Shay or Ren. I can't wait for Bloodrose next February. If you go to www.nightshadebook.com you can download the first chapter to read. It leaves you wanting more.
