Rain lives on the streets with his
drug addicted mother, but when she overdoses and dies Rain is sent to live with
the aunt he never knew he had. When Rain arrives in the small Texas town to
live with his aunt Ruby, he quickly falls for Freddie, the tough sassy girl in his
class. Rain also realizes that there is
something off about this town and there is a secret everyone is trying to keep
from him, a secret that Freddie seems to be the focus of.
This is an interesting
werewolf mystery with a quick story line and creepy characters. As much as I liked Rain, the characters
aren’t very well developed, especially their relationships. The content includes
off page sex, drug overdose, gruesome torture and death. The swearing is also distracting as the
author tries to use it as a way to make the characters seem tough and fearless,
but it just comes across as trashy.
