This book has a Twilight-esc feel to it, only instead of vampires it is all about the wolves.  There were certainaspects of the book that I thought could have been done better, but I really liked the story line.  The ending threw me for a loop after all the build up.  If you are looking for a book with surprises this is one that could very well give them to you.   Book 2 comes out in Fall 2010.
