Eryn is new to Redgrave. She is also part wolven, but tries to hide this from her friends as well as herself. Redgrave, however, is a town that has quite a bit of paranormal activity going on, and it gets harder for Eryn to control the bloodlust within. Her closest friends are the Delacroix boys, who seem to have secrets of their own. The police chief’s son, Wade, has warned her to stay away from the Delacroix boys, saying that they are bad news, but then again, they say the same thing about Wade. Who is telling the truth? With both Alec Delacroix and Wade trying for her affections, who will she choose?
Upon receiving this book my initial thoughts were “lame cover art” and “REALLY lame interior art work”, but I’m glad I looked past those things.
Judith Graves’ first book in the Skinned series is a great read for both teens and adults. I must admit that I did feel a touch of Twilight deja vu while reading about the love triangle between Wade, Alec, and Eryn, but this book is loads better than Twilight! Beyond the blossoming romance in this novel, there is also the mystery of what is causing all of the paranormal activity in town. Waiting to find out the cause of kids going missing, and the animal attacks, makes Under My Skin a page-turner from beginning to end. The romantics out there will want to know who Eryn is going to end up with. This is a great first novel from Graves and I am truly looking forward to see what happens in the next installment of this series. This book would make a great addition to all libraries. Recommended.
