Shiloh by Helena Sorensen
4.0
I would highly recommend this book for teens ages 13 + up. The story was very well written and it hooked me in from the very beginning. I also liked that the author took a great amount of detail and incorporated it into the story to basically build a "Shiloh" world. I loved that! I felt I was actually there, witnessing the events. I felt like I was part of the pack.
Helena Sorensen did an amazing job with character development. I found myself being taken away by the all of the characters. I just loved Amos. I mean at the age of seven, he killed a Shadow Wolf; that is bad-ass! At such a young age, he had to struggle to stay in the light and not be taken by the Shadow. The novel portrays a coming of age story and provides such whole hearted morals; its just hard not to like. At twelve years old, Amos experiences life changing and devastating events and he must essentially decide to fulfill his destiny, overcome his fear and build self-confidence to become a "man". While reading this book, I felt scared, stressed, happy, sadness, but most of all, hope.
All in all, I enjoyed this book and am definitely hoping there is a sequel.
