This was definitely a new twist to the world of werewolves. It is a love story, but it is about werewolves. It's about a 16 year old female werewolf that falls in love with a human, and as you can guess things get messy on both sides. Though what I didn't like about it was the fact the author didn't make our main character, our heroin not as strong, not as rebellious as she should have been. I really wish she would have made her more rebellious, because to get what you want in her kind of situation you have to rebel. Though it's a great book and I recommend it to people who like werewolf stories. I rate it PG-14 and give it 4 out of 5 stars.

i loved this book. it gave a whole new approach to the behavior and actions of werevolves. it's intersting because i read this book during the twilight craze and can honestly say that it was awesome. it was intense and surreal and had me reading till 2 in the morning. i honestly couldn't put it down. in my head i was going on and on about vivian and aidan and wondering what the future holds for them. i saw the movie after i read thte book and trust me the book is way better. you get a sense of a teenage girl in love adn a family almost broken. what's a girl to do? this is a must read for all you jacob fans out there.

This book was so addicting that I read it in one sitting!  The main character is struggling to be accepted in a world that can't accept who she is, all the while, struggling with just accepting who she is within herself.  I felt that the writing was beautiful and although, I disliked the characters at times, I loved the story as a whole.  I recommend this for fans of werewolves and anyone looking for a story about growing pains with a furry twist!

I read Blood and Chocolate because I'm a HUGE fan of Annette Kurtis Klaus, and she certainly did not dissapoint in this werewolf love story.'

Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the 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 dissarrayand 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 meatboy. 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. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder of her dual nature, not fear her as an ordinary human would.

Vivian's divided loyalities are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack. Moving between two worlds, she does not seem to belong in either. What is she really--human or beast? Which taste sweeter--blood or chocolate?

I can't go on long enough about how good Blood and Chocolate was. Vivian is such a real character, completly believable in her confusion and need to be wanted because of who she is, not because of what she is. She and her pack are the most memorable, touching part of the entire book. While rowdy and annoying, in the end, they do show how much they love her.

I especially love the ending--not like Twilight or all the other paranormal romances these days. It doesn't end with a happily ever after, nor does it end like the summary implies. It's hard to explain without giving it away, but, while the ending is not exactly what a lot of people would want, it is the perfect ending for this particular book.

In short, a great love story!

i've always been interested in vampires & werewolves ever since i was a teenager. i did not just become one since this whole phenomenon w/ twilight (yes i'm a fan of that too..DON'T JUDGE ME! LOL) anyway they have always fascinated me...so with that said i wanted to introduce you to an oldie but a goodie that i had bought a long time ago about werewolves. i've read this book a ton of times one of those reasons may be because its set in the state i live in, Maryland. the book is called, Blood & Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause. the story is about a teenager girl named Vivian who is a werewolf. she loves the change but the pack she is in doesn't have a leader and so she feels lost and wants to have a "normal" life. Vivian goes to school just like every other sixteen year old and she meets a cute human boy and "BAM" she falls in love with him...so who is this "meat-boy"? the poor kid is name Aiden. Aiden of course is into magic, and all that dark stuff and so Vivian thinks she might have a chance w/ him. Now along w/ these two love birds and whether they can survive, there's a murderer on the loose...yep and they have threatened to expose the pack that Vivian is in. So what is Vivian going to do? is she really going to tell Aiden the truth about herself? and what about the murderer? is Vivian next?....i'm not going to tell you....so.....READ IT!!!!

Blood and chocolate had a different spin on the vampire idea. The story, though was still good, it moved slightly slow in aparts. It made a nice romance, but the characters weren't the best. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite.

The plot was good and the writing was good. It also managed to keep me entranced, but the content was pg-13. I enjoyed the book, but I would not recomend it to anyone under the age of 16, and i would not recomend it to any Christian, just due to some of the sceens.

Vivian Gandillon is a werewolf. At 16, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. Her father, once the leader of the pack, has recently died - leaving Vivian and the pack bereft. Then Vivian falls in love with a human. Aiden is kind, gentle, and a welcome relief from the squabbling pack, He is fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder of her dual nature. Then brutal murders start to occur and the secrecy of Vivian pack is threatened. Moving between two worlds, she doesn't seem to belong to either. What is she really - human or beast?

This book was a very interesting read, seeing as I'd never read any books about werewolves (I usually stick to vamps). I wasn't too into the book at the beginning, but I eventually got more involved. Vivian wasn't really my favorite heroine, but the other characters seemed to make up for it. The pack was interesting and fun to read about... seeing as Vivian was not the most interesting. Still, if you like fantasy and need something new, you should give Blood and Chocolate a try.

IT WAS WEIRD.

Now that that is out of the way, I can admit that the writing style was smooth and interesting, the plot thick and juicy, and the characters fascinating.

Overall, it wouldn't have been a bad book... except for the messed-up werewolves, all the gore, the freaky people, and the absolutly twisted ending...
