Team Ren or Team Shay? I'm not too sure!

I finished Nightshade in a matter of days! (Sorry it's taken me so long to write about it.) Angela Cremer pulled me in so quickly. I found myself not even wanting to cook supper at night because I didn't want to have to put the book down! The differences in the relationships between Calla and Ren and Calla and Shay were so well written. I will admit, I did not like Shay at first. He was just way too nosy! I didn't understand why Calla kept thinking about him. But boy, he grows on you!

I appreciated the new view of werewolves in this book. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE YA Paranormal, but it was time to let the werewolves shine and not be fighting vampires. In Nightshade, the werewolves are protectors. Calla and Ren have known their whole lives they will be paired and the starters of a new pack. The chemistry between them is very evident, even though they are from rival families.

Angela definitely left me wanting more. The end is a twisty cliffhanger, so beware of that! I'm not 100% sure if I'm happy with Calla's choice at the end, but I do think you should read it and decide for yourself.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer



Today I picked up Nightshade by Andrea Cremer. I have been hearing positive things about this book for several months and have even noticed some of the authors I follow on Twitter and Goodreads giving this book great reviews. Immediately, I was pleased to see it was a big book (452 pages!!)! I am a fast reader and really do enjoy those longer books. I am really looking forward to reading the story of Calla and finding out about this Ren character that I first heard about in the YACrushTourney.

Have you read Nightshade? What did you think?
