This was an okay book. I was not in love with the first one, so I was not expecting this one to wow me. I have to note that the green print was distracting and it did not add to my enjoyment of the book. I found it too gimmicky.
While the take on the whole werewolf theme is unique, I don't really find any of the characters all that original, and the situations (parents are not interested then try to assert their control) are not wildly original. And I could see where the book was going by the end of the 2 page prologue.
That said, I did spend the time to read the book, I enjoyed the flow of the story, even if I could see where it was all going. I enjoyed the introduction of Cole St Claire and the added role that Isabel played this time around. The addition of their narratives helped to give the story a more full, well rounded feel. Cole's take on being a wolf, why he wanted to be a wolf was a nice juxtaposition to Sam's perspective on being a wolf. The continued exploration of these different outlooks is one I hope is explored more deeply in the next book. I am also waiting for Cole's ex-girlfriend to notify Cole that she was pregnant and he has a child. Though I do hope that this is not actually part of the story...it would just be too expected and to obvious. I think Cole's journey to accepting or denying his humanity could be done easily and less clichéd without this plot device.
I found the explanation of the affects of the wolf toxin a different, yet intereting take...though a bit rushed in the last 10 pages. It does set the arc for the next book as Sam strives to find a real cure.
In some ways it really feels like this book was a bridge...while I can't say I was in love with this book, I was hooked enough to get through the book and see the set up for the next one.
