NightShade by Andrea Cremer
I received this book from the library where I ordered it on
the picture alone. I saw it when I was
looking up another book on amazon and loved the cover of the book and read
enough to get it from the library. I had
no idea really what it was about.
Let me tell you, it was GREAT! The main character is Calla Toy who is a
guardian – which means she can turn herself into a wolf whenever she
wants. She is also the alpha wolf of her
pack. The Guardians are basically the
bodyguards for the Keepers, which are some sort of magicians, and they protect
the sacred sites for these Keepers. This is what the book is based on but it is more about the struggles that each character must face, mostly Calla.
Calla has a chosen mate, Ren, but saves a human boy while
in the woods, an act which is against everything that she has ever been taught. Later she is told by the Keepers to protect this human boy, Shay. She is now torn between two loves, two worlds
and everything that she has ever known.
This book has enough sci-fi to keep you guessing what is
going to happen but not too much of it to dissuade you if you are not that into
sci-fi. The romance and friendships are
well thought out, hold your attention and make you want more. This is obviously not a “deep thinker” book
but it is a very good, light, entertaining book.
I would definitely recommend this one to anyone wishing for
some fun entertainment.
I should mention this is the first book in the trilogy and I
will review the second book next week.
