Annotation: Scarlett's purpose in life is to hunt and kill the Fenris, who took out her eye when she was just eleven. Rosie, her sister, isn't so sure. She knows the Fenris deserve to die, but she's not ready to commit her entire life to hunting them. Will the sisters learn to live with their differences, or will they eventually drive them apart?
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: This book is very well written, engaging, and captivating. The characters are very real, as they all have their faults but are still sympathetic. They each also accept each other's faults and learn to live with them. The plot was an excellent portrayal about how different opinions can drive people apart, even when they've been together their entire lives.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I loved watching the characters unfold. It was immediately apparent that Scarlett was really tough and loved fighting, but you weren't quite sure whether Rosie would be the same way or be softer and less obsessive. You could never tell how the two would react to each other, and there was just enough secrets and tension between them to keep you on the edge of your seat, waiting to find out more about them.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: The only thing I didn't like about this book was the fact that they killed werewolves, and that's just because I happen to love wolves. The Fenris in the book were very evil and it made sense why they had to kill them.
Cover: The cover is made of awesome. The colors are really pretty and striking, I love the stylized way the girls' faces are drawn, and the fact that there's a wolf at the bottom is really cool. I didn't notice that for a while. The only complaint I would have is that both of the sisters had black hair.
