This book was mesmerizing, by far my favorite of the three. The font was the same deep cranberry color as the cover illustration. The story was, once again, told in four voices: Grace, the girl who now spends her winters as a wolf, Sam, her one-and-only, who has been "cured" of slipping from lupine to human, Isabel, reluctant friend to the wolves....cool...almost cold...and.daughter of the powerful lawyer that will do anything to kill the wolf pack, and Cole, the only one who chose to become wolf...brilliant, famous, beautiful, and cynical.
There are twists and turns as spring approaches and Grace returns, shifting back and forth between wolf and human at inopportune times. And Thomas Culpeper, Isabel's father, has finally gotten the Minnesota state government to allow a wolf massacre. The time is approaching, and the four friends must figure out how to save the rest of the pack. And with the help of a young police officer and Cole's scientific genius - they do! I've got to admit, I shed a few tears near the end of this story. That in itself surprised me, that I could feel such emotion for these characters and the relationships they had attained. Quite powerful, actually. Quite a story.
