Blood and Chocolate Annette Curtis Klause


Title: Blood and Chocolate
Author: Annette Curtis Klause
Description: Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet, fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf. At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in disarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf? Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He;s fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder of her dual nature, not fear her as an ordinary human would. Vivian's divided loyalties are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack. Moving between two
worlds, she does not seem to belong in either. What is she really- human or beast? Which tastes sweeter- blood or chocolate?
OK, so you can tell from the description of the book that I would think it was really good, right? Well, the story part of the book is fantastic, but I'm only 93 pages into the book and the language and the sexual content is really bad. So far, there hasn't been a downright sex scene, but there has been a lot of sexual things through out the first chapters of the book. The language is also pretty bad.
So you can tell that I haven't finished the book, but I thought I should go ahead and write the review and just let all of you readers know to be cautious of this book.
