Cremer, Andrea Wolfsbane 390 pages Philomel Books, 2011. $17.99 Language: PG-13 (62 swears; no “F”); Mature Content: PG-13; Violence: PG-13. In this sequel to Nightshade, Calla is a wolf who has left her pack to save her boyfriend Shay. When she left the city of Vail, it was against the wishes of the Keepers who are magical wizards who deal in dark magic. To punish Calla for leaving they torment her pack and kill her mother. When Calla returns with the truth about who the Keepers are, she finds that the alpha male she was to marry has turned on her and half of her pack has realigned themselves to another pack. Calla works with the Searchers, who deal in good magic, to try and save the world they all love.
I felt like the first 200 pages of this book were a lot of talking and meetings that explained the history of the Searchers and wolves, but it wasn’t until half way through the book that the action picked up and I felt like it was more the style of the first book of the series. It was worth reading the first two hundred pages to get to the story in the last two hundred pages. HS-OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
