Blood and Chocolate

Reader reviewed by KitKat

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...

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.

The book starts out with a description from the main character Vivian, a sixteen year old werwolf. She explains about her father, the old leader of the pack, and the group called the Five. The Five consist of Rafe, Finn, Willem, Ulf, and Gregory.
They are the only pack members of Vivian's age and their group used to include another boy called Axel. In their old town, the Five started to become more feral, using their wolf forms to scare humans. Vivian was afraid they might betray the pack's secret, but in the end it was Axel who lost control.

Axel killed a human girl and someone saw him change back from his wolf form to human after he did it. When Axel was in prison, the Five killed another human to make it look like the "real" killer was still loose, and he was released. Vivian's father killed Axel for endangering the pack, but she pleaded with him to let the Five live. Not long after, a group of suspicious neighbors set fire to the pack's house.

Now a year later, Vivian starts high school in the new town, where she has no friends because of her reserved and secretive nature. Many girls she attends school with find her intimidating and are jealous of her beauty. To find out the rest you need to read the book....

I love this book. LOVE it. Annette Curtis Klause's teenagers are bad, for once, instead of goody two-shoes. She writes very well about the confusion in between love and lust and you could practically think she's a werewolf by the way she writes about them.
The plot toward the end is very surprising, but in a very good way.

Vivian is a beautiful, self-assured 16-year-old werewolf girl. After a tragic fire strikes the lives of her pack in West Virginia, the remnants of the group move to a city in Maryland temporarily. Vivian finds it hard to make friends; everyone is intimidated by her beauty and self-confidence. Meanwhile, shes lonelier than ever because shes starting to feel that her old werewolf friends are becoming immature and dangerous, while her mother Esme flirts too much with younger men ever since her husbands death in the fire.

Then Vivian meets Aiden. Hes poetic, sensitive, gentle&and a human, a meat-boy. Still, Vivian finds herself falling for him. Her family and friends dont approve of her playing with her food, but Vivian is certain that she and Aiden are wonderful together, and that maybe, someday, she can reveal to him what she really is.

Meanwhile, the pack is uneasy because they must choose a new leader. The strongest candidate is Gabriel, a powerful and dangerous 24-year-old who seems intent on making Vivian his mate, no matter how much she resists him. But Vivian barely has time to think about him. Things with Aiden have turned bad, and she thinks she is becoming a danger to her pack. How far will she go to protect the lives of the ones she loves?

BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE is exciting and unusual; it doesnt let down for even one page. All of the characters are multifaceted and complex, which I love. Readers of all ages and genders will be able to appreciate this book, which has a little bit of everything for everyone.

THE SUMMARY: Vivian Gandillon is a beautiful and strong sixteen-year-old werewolf, but the same cant be said for her pack. After her fathers, the old leaders, death a year ago, the pack still remains leaderless and confused. The humans at her school avoid her, and she longs for friends to talk to. Then, she met and fell for Aiden, a kind and gentle human boy who longs for magic and the unknown. Perhaps he is someone who can love her for who she is.

Blood and Chocolate seems like the old, clichéd creature-falling-in-love-with-human storyline at first, but it is actually much more. It is a tale about self acceptance and finding out the hard way the difference between dominance and love. It is a tale of embracing ones true nature and desires. This is a wonderful book. I can it read over and over and learn new lessons every time.
