The werewolf concept in this book is definitely different from the stereotypical werewolf story line. I like the idea of "phasing" rather than the idea of changing once every full moon. Otherwise, the plot is too cliché and predictable for my liking. The characters have very readable dialogue but it doesn't seem realistic. It's hard to believe that every character is so quick to accept the whole werewolf story. Overall, it's a great book but I'm not too tempted to read further into the series.
