I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this story. I knew it sounded good from the description but I didn't expect to not want to put it down. As the beginning chapters started playing out I had several mental flashbacks to the movie GingerSnaps. Two close sisters, a wolf like creature and them getting attacked and one of them relying on the boy to help her. But this story went in a different direction pretty quick. I just didn't want to stop reading.
There were several different layers to the story and the plot unraveled well with twists I didn't see coming. Especially when it came to the end of the book and we got to see the "young man" parents and the, I guess it would be the politics of how the group was run. The romance factor was not overwhelming or to angsty for me.
This story had a lot more depth to it that I thought it would initially going in. It was darker and more sexual as well. The writing really had a way of drawing me in and after finishing it became really happy that it's part of a trilogy
