Blood and Chocolate

Reader reviewed by Vamp-Girl

Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet, fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf. At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in disarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf? Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He's fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Vivian's divided loyalties are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack.

I really enjoyed this book.  It was my first introduction to stories about wherewolves and I really liked it.  If you want a story that is filled with action, fantasy, and love this would be a great book for you.  I wish they would make a ssequel to it though I think that could go on with the story after the battle scene and make a series of books from it.

This book was a very good read. It starts with an interesting start with a fire where her dad died that makes you want to read more, gives you lots of details and if you have watched the movie the book is wayyyy better. the story is about a girl called Vivian, a loup-garou or a werewolf. She is an artist and submitting one of her paintings at school magazine she is interested in a guy who wrote a poem describing just the picture she drew, she goes and meets him and they start going out, but her werewolf clan is having problems and they have to choose a new leader and from then on the books gets very interesting she has to choose what to do, stay with her meat-boy Aiden or protect her clan, and mate Gabriel.
this is definitley a very goood tead, enjoy it! =-)

Vivian is not your typical sixteen-year-old teenage girl, she is a werewolf. Also, untypical of her species, she falls in love with a human, Aidan, who is referred to as "meat boy" in her werewolf world that frowns upon the relationship. Vivian makes an effort to resist her werewolf nature and blend into the human world despite warnings from her pack.

Vivian's struggle to be "normal" mirrors the wishes of all teenagers to blend in and to be accepted by their peers. This story is a suspenseful, page turner that is written so well that each time Vivian turns into a werewolf and runs through the woods, the reader "feels" it.

Ah! Blood and Chocolate! A great title for a great book! A book about acceptance and self image with a twist.

Vivian is a stunningly beautiful young woman with a loving and accepting family ... most of the month. Because Vivian is not in anyway "normal", her family call themselves loupe garou, you on the other hand may know them better as werewolves. With her double identity, Vivian doesn't fit in with her teenage peers and nor does she feel comfortable with her "pack". This is because she is the only young female and she is expected choose one of the five male loupe garou that she has known since childhood as her mate. But these five have a cloudy past and Vivian is not sure that she can overlook what they did. The five are not the only ones in the pack after her, Vivian's mother's current man, Gabriel, is showing unwanted interest as well. Gabriel, a cocky and annoyingly self-assured hunk-of-a-werewolf, is about 7 years Vivian's elder and is the favourite for pack leader.

Vivian's problems only increase when she meets a boy from her school who she believes is the only one who can truly understand her. And her love for him grows, she is torn apart by the reality that she will forever have to keep a secret from him, or does she....

Even as Vivian struggles with the decision of whether or not to reveal herself, there is another more pressing matter on the rise, humans are being brutally murdered and the pack is beginning to suspect that there is a rogue werewolf on the lose.

A great read for all horror and fantasy lovers alike.

Vivian Gandillon is half werewolf, and half human. in school she's pretty much a loner, but when she reads a poem in the school newspaper about wolf changing, she's curious to mett the kid who wrote it. Soon enough she and Aiden fell in love. He was fasinated by all the magical things, and fantasy. Vivian always hid who she was by keeping her human form, and not running with the pack when they went out. Soon she was sick of hiding, and showed her true self to Aiden. He didn't understand and panicked. Vivan couldn't understand why. Will Aiden tell everyone her secret and put the pack in danger?

This book is a refreshing break from what I usually read. Girt meets boy, girl falls for boy, madness ensues, happily ever after. But this book has so many twists and turns, you never know what is going to happen next! Will she be with Aiden the human boy, or with the mysterious, handsome, leader of her pack? This book leaves my hungry for more like it!
