I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

Synopsis:
Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything -- including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

My Review:
It was so good! This is my favorite type of book. It had humor, intrigue, a love triangle, ect. I thought the pacing was good and I enjoyed the history all woven into this paranormal/mystery/romance. I thought the characters were well done and each had their own personality. I love that a female character gets to be the protector for a change and Calla was indeed fierce. She was also relatable with doubts and fears and she felt a sense of responsibility and loyalty to her family and pack mates while trying to listen to her heart.

And can I take a moment to gush over the physical book itself?! Whoever designed this baby is getting a shout out from me because it is beautiful! It also matches the theme perfectly with Shay and Calla looking through old and distressed books to find the answers behind the mystery of the dynamics between Keepers, Guardians, and Seekers. This book was such a page-turner and I can’t wait for book two to come out!
