From the moment Mia Young laid eyes on Chase, she knew that he was different, though she had no idea how very different he was—until now.

Chase is werewolf. And now, for reasons neither one of them can fathom, as of one week ago—so is she.

Did she ask to be a monster? No she did not. But a monster she’s become all the same.

Dealing with the sudden change and learning to control her new wild side isn't easy, but when Mia’s new and unexpected powers begin to emerge, her decision to return home becomes more dangerous than either one of them can imagine—and possibly deadly. With a new set of rivals and hidden agendas, will the poisonous seeds of jealousy and lies pull them apart…

Or will the truth be enough to set them free?

For the past two weeks, seventeen year old Mia Young has been haunted by dreams of running. Night after night of endless running. Running from some nameless threat until her muscles feel numb with pain and her legs collapse beneath her. And yet-she holds no illusions of escape. That is-until Chase comes along. A beautiful stranger with a dark secret, Mia is instantly drawn to Chase, and after several disturbing dreams starring Chase and a mysterious black wolf, Mia is frightened by the unfamiliar feelings stirring inside her. A reluctant friendship begins to blossom, and when Mia is attacked, she turns to Chase for support. Soon the lines of friendship begin to blur, and despite the lies and imperfections between them, Mia must decide if keeping Chase is worth the risk of exposing her broken heart. Mia's ultimate decision becomes one of life or death when a startling truth is revealed. Nothing is as it seems.

I loved the store line but i did find it hard to connect to the characters like chase. I could not stop reading it though. I loved how the author mixed a very common situation with fantasy. I did fine some slow parts but not that bad, if you are looking for action this book does not really have any.

I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to me . . . he's one of us.

Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us—if we all still believe in our mission. How can I know? There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another . . . but our Legacies are developing, and soon we'll be equipped to fight. Is John Number Four, and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who may be strong enough to bring the six of us together?

They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio—and failed.

I am Number Seven. One of six still alive.

And I'm ready to fight.

I loved the first one but this one I was let down. I had a hard time getting into the book, and staying on track. I feel the book was rushed and lacked all the description and character building it had in the first.

The problem is Fane is not the only wolf in Coldspring, Texas. Just as Fane and Jacque are getting to know each other, another wolf steps out to try and claim Jacque as his mate. Fane will now have to fight for the right to complete the mating bond, something that is his right by birth but is being denied him by a crazed Alpha.

     Prince of wolves was a real quick read for me, that had me laughing. If your looking for a good fast book i would really suggest it to teens and young adults. I was putting this book off for awhile because it seemed like a lot of people either hated it or loved it not very many people in between, so last night i decided to read it and I am glad I did.

A lot of people complained that there was to many dog jokes and I agree but I liked them it showed the character.

Silver Moon (Silver Moon #1)

3.57 of 5 stars 3.57  ·   rating details  ·  175 ratings  ·  36 reviews
For seventeen-year-old Candra Lowell, senior year is supposed to be the time of her life. It’s not supposed to include being shipped off to her aunt and uncle’s house for 'her own good'. Whatever that means. There’s only bad news from this experience—when she learns she’ll go from human to werewolf in a few months. Complete with an inherited unique power.

At her aunt and uncle's house, Candra is plagued with nightmares of a whispering forest and glowing eyes, and a shadowy figure, who issues a warning—she needs to leave town. Candra tries to dismiss the haunting images, but when the shadowy figure appears outside of her home, Candra realizes she should've obeyed.

Candra learns the meaning of the stalker’s warnings when she discovers she’s the new favorite target of a rival pack. She isn't just a werewolf—she's a werewolf in the middle of a feud that makes the Montagues and Capulets look like best friends. She’s also made a mess of things by falling for her sworn enemy. Worse, the rival pack wants the power Candra will receive on her eighteenth birthday. To protect her family and friends, Candra can’t run or hide; she must face her foes, even if it means death.
Published June 13th 2011 (first published April 12th 2011) 308pgs

Candra is new in town and every one knows who she is and what her family's secret is when she is being threaten and she dose dont even know why and what her family's secret is. Ben is her rival and dose not know all she knows is that she likes him and he pushes her away and every one tells her to stay away from him.

I read this book in one sitting and enjoyed it. The only thing i didn't like was that Candra's character is i guess suppose to be tough and brave but a lot of her choices are just plain stupid. This type of plot has been done lots of times before but i do not think i would ever get over it, for i love the forbiden love type of plots.

Moonlight can totally change your life. And it all starts so simply. You. Him. The moon. You’re toast.
Okay, so maybe Shelby has made a few mistakes with boys lately. But her stepmother totally overreacts when she packs Shelby off to brat camp. Suddenly, it’s good-bye, prom dress; hello, hiking boots.
Things start looking up, though, when Shelby meets fellow camper (and son of a rock star!) Austin Bridges III. But soon she realizes there’s more to Austin than crush material—his family has a dark secret, and he wants Shelby’s help guarding it. . . .

This book is a very quick, easy read i thought. Shelby is a normal girl that gets caught with a boy, and ends up being sent to brat camp with other rich and famous kids. When she gets there she is drawn to Austin and tries to help him but he is hiding something from her. When Austin is in trouble Shelby has to decide weather her appearance to her family or Austins family secret more important. .

I would recommend it to younger teen ages.
i did feel like the book  didn't give enough depth to the characters and that it was lacking mystery and that Austins character could have been a little more Sly then he was.

In the sequel, Maggie learns much more about all the strange things that happened to her, and has to face new ones. She rebels against it, but ultimately, must face it for her new families sake and maybe even her life. Bish went from being her biggest supporter to her biggest pain in the butt and Kyle's intentions to attract her interest may not be so innocent. Caleb and Maggie face many new obstacles together and fight to work through them but will one that should be a good thing be too much for Maggie to handle?
Kindle Edition
Published September 20th 2011 (first published September 15th 2011)

        In Accordance Maggie and Caleb are in California hiding out from Marcus and Sikes, when Kyle and Bish come to join them. As Maggie is learning more about her gift and learns how to use it she learns of a key piece she plays in her future and starts to rebel against it. Maggie is still being hunted and is trying to relax but it is not easy when Kyle is trying to get between her and Caleb, and Bish is trying to figure out what is going on around him as no one is saying anything to him. Maggie and Caleb heads back home since Sikes has found them but when they arrive they are in great danger.

    This book was not as good as the first but i still liked it and would read it again!  Caleb and Maggie are learning how to handle things as they are coming. This book is about love, passion, family, courage, and selflessness. This book has lots of answers and information so i don't want to spoil anything so just read it :) if you loved the first book you'll like this one too.
p.s. again this is a self published book and there are some mistakes!

Maggie is a seventeen year old girl who's had a bad year. Her mom left, her dad is depressed, she's graduating, barely, and her boyfriend of almost three years dumped her for a college football schalorship. Lately she thinks life is all about hanging on by a thread and is gripping tight with everything she has. Then she meets Caleb. She saves his life and instantly knows there's something about him that's intriguing but she is supposed to be on her way to a date with his cousin. But things change when they touch, sparks ignite. Literally. They imprint with each other and she sees their future life together flash before her eyes. She learns that not only is she his soul mate, and can feel his heartbeat in her chest, but there is a whole other world of people with gifts and abilities that she never knew existed. She herself is experiencing supernatural changes unlike anything she's ever felt before and she needs the touch of his skin to survive. Now, not only has her dad come out of his depression to be a father again, and a pain as well, but Caleb's enemies know he's imprinted and are after Maggie to stop them both from gaining their abilities and take her from him. Can Caleb save her or will they be forced to live without each other after just finding one another?

         This book was real good and found it hard to put down, for i wanted to know what happened. Maggie has had a hard year and on her way to a date she meets Caleb who happen to be her dates cousin, as they where saying good bye they imprint. Maggie starts to learn about Caleb's world. While Caleb and Maggie learn more about one another, Maggie's dad sees that he can loss her any moment now that she has finished high school, and comes out his depression and doesn't want Caleb and Maggie's around one another everyday. It is now Caleb's job to protect Maggie from his enemies and rival clan. When Maggie is kidnapped she has to fight to stay alive and fight her way back to Caleb so he can find her.
       This book is filled with passion and love, that you dream about yourself. I will absolutely read this book again! The only thing people while more then likely don't like is that there is some gram er and spelling mistakes in this book, but keep and open mind for this book is self published and is cost a lot for an editor. Shelly Crane did i wonderful job on this book!!
