Hey, so this was the book we read for book club last month and it is totally and completely AMAZING! I thought it was going to have a horrible ending, but, as it turned out, it had like, the BEST ending ever, it's definitely one of my new favorite books!
Story:
When she was eleven, Grace was pulled off of her tire swing and into the woods by a pack of wolves. For some reason she's not afraid, she just lays there as the wolves bite and scratch her, until one wolf comes over. His eyes are a fascinating yellow and Grace stares into them, oblivious to everything going on around her. The wolf saves her and brings her back to her house. Now, every winter, the wolf reappears, he stands on the edge of the woods that surround Graces house and watches her, and she watches back. Her interest in the wolves becomes an obsession as the years pass, she imagines "her wolf" as she calls him as if he were a person. Each night she lays in bed and listens to them howl, picking out the low sound of her wolf and hanging onto it through the nights. But then a boy who goes to her school is killed by the wolves and a hunting party sets off to find and kill the pack. Grace runs into the woods, trying to find her wolf, to warn him of what is happening. The police find her and walk her to her house, but when she gets to the back porch, a boy is laying there, a bullet wound on his neck. It's her wolf, his name is Sam.
This was such a great book! I would rate at least five out of five!! Even though the story is about werewolves, it has a very believable plot line. I fell instantly in love with the characters and could hardly put the book down! If you have not already read this book, I would suggest getting it ASAP!!!
Thanks for reading,
