A must-have that will give Bella and Edward a run for their money.” - SLJ, starred review “Stiefvater leaves the faeries of Lament and Ballad for a lyrical tale of alienated werewolves and first love….her take on werewolves is interesting and original while her characters are refreshingly willing to use their brains to deal with the challenges they face.” - PW, starred review”All readers will be able to enjoy Stiefvater’s fast-paced storytelling and dedication to the old-fashioned art of creating a believable and enduring romance.
