She can control her pack, but not her heart.
I decided to live a little and put all my vampire books away for Calla Tor's "werewolf" pack in Nightshade. While the romance was, for me, somewhat lacking (how is it that all these teens keep falling in love at first sight of abs?), I very much enjoyed learning about life with the pack and all that entailed. Ideas about what it means to be a female alpha mated to a male alpha and the differences in power and authority were especially intriguing and will be a challenge for Calla to overcome (perhaps in book two?). Being comprised almost entirely of forbidden kisses, banned books and a censored history, Nightshade is a satisfying distraction if you're looking for something a little different but you're not quite ready to walk away from the paranormal teen spectacle.
