And that is when Adele’s life is turned upside down. He is part of the town’s watch, which helps protect the village from “the dark wood” and the vicious shape-shifting wolves who live in it.Īdele is sent to the wood to make a delivery to her grandmother.
Adele’s mother (her father died years before and his death is a big part of this story) has been avoiding answering the question about Adele marrying her long-time boyfriend. She’s really wanting to get married and live next door to her best friend who is newly engaged. The story follows sixteen-year-old Adele. I’m glad to say I can add this book to that list. I’m really picky about YA stories, but there’s been a few that I’ve loved over the years. I’ve read several of Rachel Vincent’s adult stories, but never a YA from her. I went into this book not realizing it was a YA story.
