This thrilling sequel to the much-talked-about Nightshade begins just where it ended-Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemy, and she's certain her days are numbered. But then the Searchers make her an offer-one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack-and the man-she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive.

About the Author
Andrea Cremer spent her childhood daydreaming while roaming the forests and lakeshores of Northern Wisconsin. She now lives in Minnesota, but she thinks of her homeland as the "Canadian Shield" rather than the Midwest.
Andrea has always loved writing and has never stopped writing, but she only recently plunged into the deep end of the pool that is professional writing. When she's not writing, Andrea teaches history at a very nice liberal arts college in St. Paul.
In the little spare time she can find, Andrea stares up at trees, rescues infant rabbits from predatory cats, and invents names for pug puppies with her husband. She has an unfortunate tendency to spill things—white carpets beware!

So my expectations were very high after the first book in the triology, and i was not disappointed at all. I love the way the storyline turned to the main characters joining their sworn enemies for freedom. The interactions between the characters and the protogonist was complex with a healthy dose of humor thrown in to balance the more tragic moments in the lives of the main characters. Newer characters complemented the main characters and brought about a new perspective in the eternal story of good versus evil and how oppression brings about revolt. If you haven't read this series. i highly recommend you start reading, because its one of the best series i have ever read. In complete anticipation for the final book.

I really enjoyed Nightshade and couldn't wait for the next book in the series, but I was disappointed by this one. Perhaps it was because I had forgotten most of the politics of book one, that I had a hard time picking up those aspects of the plot, but it seemed to just drag for the first quarter of the book. And then, when it did get going, Calla just seemed so mindlessly conflicted; she made her choice in book one, and then seems to spend a ridiculous amount of time regretting her decision and hearing Ren's voice in her head, and having flashbacks of the two of them. I felt like shaking her. Then, there are several conflicts and none of them really make a lot of sense, and there's a betrayal in the story as well, and I felt like everyone should have seen it coming when it happened... Overall, I didn't really enjoy book two that much, but because of my love of book one, I stuck it out. If this had been the first book in the series, I definitely wouldn't have purchased book two. My recommendation is to read book two immediately after reading book one!

Summary
Only a week has passed since the shocking events that occurred the night that was supposed to be Calla and Ren's union. After waking up alone and confused, Calla discovers that she's in the lair of the enemy. But does she even know who the enemy is anymore? Everything she thought to be true has been revealed as lies, and after running from her pack and her destiny, what's left for her now? When the Searchers share their plan - and knowledge - with her, Calla embarks on a dangerous mission to save her pack. Will she be able to rescue her fellow wolves and reunite her pack? Or is all hope lost for the young Haldis Guardians?
Review
Wolfsbane picks up almost immediately after Calla and Shay have run from the union and the horrifying truths they uncovered about the Keepers. I thought I might need to review the end of Nightshade as a refresher, but Wolfsbane does a great job of filling readers in on the events of the first book without going into excessive exposition. The Searchers make an excellent addition to the to the Nightshade world. The new characters are well developed with interesting back-stories and believable personalities. Wolfsbane is filled with plenty of high-stakes action, and some of the fight scenes had me on the edge of my seat. Unlike some YA series, there are consequences when a character makes a mistake, and real losses are suffered. There were times when Shay and Calla's romantic scenes felt a bit repetitive, but that's really my only complaint with Wolfsbane.
Verdict
You know when you love a book so much, you're sad when it ends? That's how I felt about Wolfsbane. I cannot wait until Bloodrose comes out in February!
