The story follows Vivian, a teenage werewolf who has had to relocate to a Maryland suburb with her pack after an altercation where the actions of a few wild wolves brought the wrath of the human population upon them which resulted in the death of Vivian\u2019s father who was the leader of the pack. Vivian, feeling increasingly distanced from those in the pack in her age range, starts to look outside of her community for friendship and romance. She finds it in Aiden, whose curiosity and openness to the supernatural world makes her think that he might accept her for what she is. This is a well-written book that deserves the popularity that it has earned. Klause has developed Vivian into a strong female character who becomes caught between two worlds that of werewolves and humanity. The pacing is fast\u00a0 and the action stays constant enough that you stay engaged with the story. Recommended. Contains: violence, teen romance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laurel Leaf , September, 1999 ISBN: 0440226686 Available : New and Used \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Blood and Chocolate\u00a0has become one of the core titles of any teen horror collection.
