"Beware of a bite under a full moon…
it will complicate your love life."

Review: This is the second book and I believe I like this series a bit more than the Vampire Kisses series. Maybe because it's not all goth and vampires. I'm slightly burned out on vamps. This story reminds me of the West Side Story, as the main character falls for a guy from the other side of the tracks, and that's frowned upon by her peers. It's hard not to fall for a guy that saves your life though, only to have that moment change his life forever. Celeste must hide how she feels for Brandon from her friends as she feels it will only make the teasing worse for him as it already is. In addition to that her ex-boyfriend Nash knows Brandon's secret and threatens to tell everyone he is a wolf, if she doesn't pretend they are trying to work on their relationship. He is such a pighead, he feels that he is doing this out of concern for her as a friend but there is tons of jealousy motivating him too. Celeste understands Nash's motives but it's too little too late for him to start being the boyfriend she always wanted when Brandon is that now. Though her heart belongs to another Nash is not going out without a fight and things get very interesting between these two alpha males. Celeste has her work cut out for her, from helping Brandon find a cure so he can be normal again, if that is what he really wants. Is she even certain that she herself  wants the boy or the wolf?In addition to all this, she has to balance out time with her best friends, who want things to remain the same. But sometimes, change is hard to stop, and Celeste is in for a big one.
