foxconfessor 's review for:
Blood and Chocolate
by Annette Curtis Klause
I really enjoyed this one. I can see how others might have been annoyed by Vivian being super beautiful and aggressive creep, but I think it would have been bizarre if she hadn't been. She's not a 'normal teenage girl turning into a wolf' - if anything, she's more like a wolf that can take human shape - and I appreciated that difference.
If you see a wolf in the wild, you don't think "gosh, that's a homely wolf" or "wow that wolf has a lot of character flaws." Nope. She's a wild creature in a human skin, and it makes sense that she would be beautiful and arrogant and draw every eye. It makes sense that she would think like a dominant predator, and that she, and her whole clan, would be creepers and behave in ways that would be strange and unacceptable to humans.
I also really liked the change from the usual love story. It's not how I expected things to go, and I love that in a book.
Honestly the only thing I'm mad about is the lack of a sequel.
