I'll start off by saying this, Jessie McQuade is not your typical heroine. She is rough, crude, sarcastic, tomboyish, pervy and often annoying. All qualities that put me off to her from the get go, yet somehow besides all that you grow to accept her as the far from perfect woman she is. I can't say you grow to like her but you get used to her and appreciate how real she is, for me this appreciation came with her frequent pervy thoughts that often had me laughing. Yes girls have them too guys!!!!
Anyway, the story is set in a small town, and the book does a great job of maintaining that small town feel, often from the descriptions and just the "simple" train of thought shared through the characters. Our story begins when a routine traffic accident leads to a wolf bite which spreads a special strain of rabies throughout the town, a strain that turns people into crazy murders within 24hrs. Now if anyone has any common sense they will note that rabies don't do this but remember this is a small town...lol. Jessie eventually puts two and two together and realizes that these are not your average wolves. Werewolves anyone?
Oh! I almost forgot to mention that the day of the traffic accident she runs into a hot naked man in the woods named Will. Her investigation of the wolves eventually leads her back to this mysterious naked man and Chemistry ensues. Yes people this is a romance mystery but do not fear its not sappy and its packed full with unintended/intended comedy to keep, well me, interested. There is obvious attraction between the two but the pursuit of a relationship is halted by.
1. The fact that he is way hotter than her and a known playboy therefore he cant be serious
2. Her insecurities about herself and her uncertainty in her ability to love.
3. She thinks hes a werewolf trying to kill her, even though he constantly says he isnt.
Regardless sexual attraction is mighty powerful and they do hook up. Yeah! (BTW Will can be mighty innocent and cute besides his manly powers and perfect physique). Back to the mystery part of the novel, Jessie learns that there is a master wolf who is turning everyone in the town into werewolves in order to build a werewolve army and take over the worldJessie has to find the bad guy by the next blue moon or disaster will ensue. This part of the book is rather fun and will keep you guessing almost till the end.
Overall, the book was written well, the mystery is intriguing and simple, the romance is realistic-ish and steamya definite page turner. The reason I cant give it a higher rating is because I dont feel that you can take anything away from this novel and it doesnt really leave you wanting. Its just over and youre o.k. with that.
