16-year old Vivian is a werewolf and she has fallen for a human named Aiden. Her werewolf pack thinks that she should stick to her own kind, but Vivian thinks that Aiden is different. The closer they become, the more she wants to show him who she really is. One night, she goes for it, and he (understandably) freaks out on her. This is not the reaction that she was hoping for, and it takes her awhile to get over the sting of rejection. In the meantime, weird things are happening around town. Humans are being killed, and there is talk that one of her pack is responsible. In which world does Vivian belong: werewolf or human?
I realize that Klause wrote her vampire/werewolf series well before Stephenie Meyer wrote her Twilight series, however I couldn’t help but compare the two as I read Blood and Chocolate. With Twilight (which I admittedly read first and perhaps that had something to do with it) I couldn’t put the book down. I wasn’t as into the characters of Blood and Chocolate. The book is good, don’t get me wrong, and it's much better written than the Twilight books are, but I didn’t like it as well as I liked the Twilight books. Maybe I just need to read the first Klause book, The Silver Kiss, to get a more complete background on the characters.
Recommended for grades 9-12.
