Grace meets 'her wolf' when at the age of eleven she is attacked by a wolf pack in her backyard. After being dragged into the woods, all she remembers is the unmistakable yellow eyes of 'her wolf'.
Years later, her parents' lives revolve around each other and Grace is left to her own devices. She waits yearly for the winter when she knows her wolf will be out in the woods watching her. It is fall and the wolves have attacked Jack, a classmate of Grace's. The men go out to cleanse the woods of the deadly animals. Grace finds Same bleeding from a bullet wound on the deck of her home. She instantly recognizes the eyes of the wolf she has loved for years.
Sam and Grace are inseparable from that moment on. Luckily her parents are mentally out to lunch and never notice that a teenage boy has moved into their daughter's room.
Sam knows that as a wolf ages, he or she will eventually stop changing into a human. He feels that this is his last season as a human. Sam and Grace have finally found each other and it seems that Sam's human life span may be over.
Very Twilightesque.........fantastic writing in comparison yet I didn't feel the fierce depth of emotion that I felt for Edward and Bella. Seems sadder and moves faster. The parents are idiots in this book. (Charlie is not an idiot......just a single father duped by a very quiet vampire. Plus Charlie is a cop and thus beyond reproach.)
Rating 4 Great writing yet something was missing in there.
Rating PG 13 Grace and Sam sleep in the same bed immediately which was fine with me but considering this is a teen novel......not so great. Grace and Sam eventually do more than sleep together......fulfilling for me of course but not too cool when its geared for teens. This part is alluded to and not graphic. Just another good book my daughter can't read until she is 21...:)
