Never Cry Werewolf by Heather Davis

From School Library Journal
Grade 8–10—Sixteen-year-old Shelby knows she is acting out and making some bad choices when it comes to boys and dating, but she never expected her father and "wicked" stepmother to banish her to a "brat camp" for the summer. Luckily for Shelby, she is allowed to choose the artsy Camp Crescent instead of Priscilla's choice of Red Canyon—aka boot camp from hell. Camp turns out not to be a total waste even with the preachy Mr. Winters and singing guitar lady Cynthia. Shelby manages to make some new friends, but the real highlight is the arrival of Austin Bridges III. Not only is he the son of a legendary rock star, but he is also cute, kind, intriguing, and totally mysterious. Shelby is drawn to him and the terrible dark family secret that he is willing to share only with her. How can she turn her back on him, especially with the full moon only a few nights away? Davis weaves together a fast-paced action adventure story with issues of peer pressure, divorce, betrayal, friendship, acceptance, and, of course, romance. Shelby is fearless and impulsive, but she is also a caring soul who just needs to find her way in a confusing world. This novel has great teen appeal but is not as dark or edgy as others in this genre. It will leave readers wanting more.—Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY

My Thoughts:
I heart snarky main characters, and this book has one I heart. Shelby is a girl with a lot of underlying issues which always makes for an interesting read, and a hot British love interest just ices the cake. This novel started off with an interesting hook. You find out immediately Shelby has a history of getting into trouble with bad boys, and is being sent to brat camp because of it. The middle kind of slowed for me, but once Shelby and Austin start their hike through the woods, things quickly heat up. If you like paranormal romance, this one's for you.
