Back Cover: I’ve loved him forever, but he can never be mine. Brittany is determined to prove herself to the Dark Guardians. And yet she’s been keeping a devastating secret: She hasn’t experienced any of the intense, early signs of change that mark a Dark Guardian’s transformation. The only intense feelings she has are for Conner – and she’s kept that a secret, too. But she knows she’ll never truly have Connor’s lover if she’s not a Shifter like him. At the first full moon after her birthday, her greatest fear is realized: She doesn’t transform. Brittany is so desperate to become a wolf that she’ll go to extremes she never thought possible… and put all the Dark Guardians in incredible danger.

This is the third book in the Dark Guardian series and it was a great twist. I found that Brittany was an amazingly strong character. Even though she isn’t a Shifter she still has many other abilities that she as developed. I love how Connor is dealing with his own realizations, not only about his feelings but also about Brittany. I really couldn’t get enough of this. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, Shadow of the Moon.
