Book Description

Teenager Stanley Hoff has it hard. He's hairier by the minute, his teeth ache, and the moon makes him howl and growl. Worse, his mom's a witch. And Stanley? He's WICKED HUNGRY, but there's no meat to eat in his vegetarian home.

After a locker room confrontation with a high school bully makes Stanley famous, childhood crush Meredith invites him to her Halloween party. More than fine, except his best friend Karen has broken up with her boyfriend and wants to be more than friends. But when Karen turns allergic to sunlight, Stanley has to wonder is she interested in Stanley as a boyfriend, or as... food?

As a supernatural threat menaces his friends, his high school and his suburban New England community, Stanley struggles not just with his hunger and the beast within... but to survive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roller-Coaster Rockin' YA Paranormal-Don't Miss! February 12, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
What an utterly intriguing YA novel! Riveting-layer upon layer of secrets and unspooling revelations-characters with depth-paranormal auras and overtones throughout-the author teasing the reader gently with one secret after another, like being tickled with a feather. You know you love it, you know you've gotta read more:).

Protagonist Stanley at fourteen suffers with the knee damage caused during a night-time run on the beach. He is strongly affected by the phases of the Moon-especially waxing and full-and when he starts developing chest and back hair, achy joints, and feeling like his teeth will drop out, he's get really anxious. More so because his is a vegan household-yet Stanley is developing a craving for meat. His friend Karen is acting wacky-she broke off with their mutual friend Zach, a full-fledged vegetarian, when he called her a carnivore and she nearly broke his arm. Now she can't abide sunlight and discovers the value of the taste of blood. Zach keeps pushing all-natural supplements, to be taken three times a day, and Stanley gives them a try, while Karen warns that they are addictive and dangerous. All Stanley knows is that for the first time since his fall, the pain in his knee is gone.

I totally enjoyed this story; it was so fast-paced, and I empathized with the characters, the young people as well as the adults. Author Jacobs draws on a wide variety of religion, mysticism, and paranormal elements to weave the tapestry of this story, which will be appealing to YA and adult readers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give it a try - I'm glad it was recommended! February 12, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm so glad this was recommended to me. Fans of the genre will be pleased with the terrific story-telling and the ease at which they're swept right into the plot.
Stanley is likeable & believable which is often hard to do in this genre so kudos to Teddy Jacobs. The story moves along so fast and it's such a gripping read I forgot to eat lunch. A perfect way to spend a few hours!!

I thought it was okay. I have read better, but I also have read worse. I would not read it again, but i may possibly read the sequel if there is one and i had nothing else to read.
