Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause



Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy; Werewolves
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet, fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf. At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in disarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf? Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He’s fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder of her duel nature, not fear her as an ordinary human would. Vivian’s divided loyalties are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack. Moving between two worlds, she does not seem to belong in either, and her actions may endanger both. What is she really – human or beast? Which tastes sweeter – blood or chocolate?

Vivian is one of those characters that is trying to find where she fits. After loosing her father her life is so different without her father. She goes to school and after reading a poem by one of the boys at school she must meet him. While things are changing within the pack and her growing relationship with Aiden her worlds are moving fast. She becomes stronger and powerful in her own right after a fight in front of the whole pack. But yet she doesn’t want what she has won. And when humans start turning up dead with her not remembering what is happening she freaks. This story has a lot happening and you can’t help but read on to see what the next turn will be. I loved the way this is written. How the characters related to one another, with Vivian and the Five to the new friends that she makes through Aiden. It’s a book that I really enjoyed and will read again.
