Struggling with a fractured pack, coping with living a lie, Vivian longs for friends she knows she can't have. But when she falls in love with a human boy, everything changes. Not only does it strain her relationship with the other werewolves, it also endangers her life.

Industry Reviews "Klause keeps this story powerful and sexy, reveling in the ferality of her characters and the overtones of legend; some characters are a bit predictable or indistinct, but a few--especially Vivian's human boyfriend, who thinks he wants mysticism and falls apart when he gets it--are intriguing and vivid." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson
"This tightly woven story is another superb title from a rising author...should appeal to horror fans and even those who are not." Voya - Beverly Youree (08/19/1997)
"Extrapolating brilliantly from wolf to werewolf lore, Klause creates a complex plot, fueled by politics, insanity, intrigue, sex, blood, lust, and adolescent longings, and driven by a set of vividly scary creatures to a blood-curdling climax." Kaminer
