Blood and Chocolate, by Annette Curtis KlauseYoung Adult, 1997
from fantasticfiction.co.uk: Having fallen for a human boy, a beautiful teenage werewolf must battle both her packmates and the fear of the townspeople to decide where she belongs and with whom.
Raspberry: While the writing was decent, the plot drove me nuts. I felt the ending was the 'easy way out', although this is for the most part personal preference.
Graded a C+.
Kisses and Lies, by Lauren HendersonYoung Adult, 2009
The sequel to Henderson's Kiss Me Kill Me, the mystery continues as Scarlett races with her American sidekick Taylor to uncover the truth.
Raspberry: While the plot as a whole (including the first book) was interesting, dividing it into two books was stupid for a mystery. Plus, the ending while entirely believable seemed to detract from what the book had been about the entire time. A little bit more closure on the guy end would have been nice - I was confused with the author's portrayal of a 'goodbye' for those of you that have read it.
Graded a B-.

I had a reluctant reader once tell me that if all books were like Blood and Chocolate he'd actually ask for a book for Christmas!
