3.0 out of 5 stars
short, sweet, a set-up for a sequel, October 27, 2002
This review is from: Dark Dreams (Children of the Night) (v. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's pretty short, as most teen-targeted books are. But it leaves a couple... ok, more than a couple, the whole book is a loose end, a teaser for a sequel... which just so happens to be "dark magic" byt the same author. Oh, well.
Other than that, it's a werewolf book, describing the changes in a girl's life and outlook when she first changes into a wolf during puberty. It's almost but not quite a standard monster book, almost but not quite a cliche. it's ok, I guess.. I've read a lot better, and some worse. It just doesn't evoke a sense of excitement... probably because it's so short.
It feels like there should be more going on, more description or something. It reads like one of those little first-chapters of new books you get at the end of other books, to try and get you to buy them.
Still, it's a decent story. If you're willing to shell out for both books, you should probably save time and buy them both at once.

This review is from: Dark Dreams (Children of the Night) (v. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a good book for anyone who enjoys not only werewolves, but also dark love and mystery. Pretty spiffy and fast paced. Try to find this book, it's really good!
