I read this after reading the Silver Kiss and was just as impressed. Annette Curtis Klause makes believable characters that feel and make you feel with them, even ones like Esme that will make you angry. Vivian's struggle with who she is and who she will become resonates with the just-entering-high-school crowd, in my opinion, because these are kids who are trying to get away from what they've always known, the way she does. Good young adult drama. ( )

I didn't at all like this book when I read it. I wanted something with adventure and romance, but it was mostly screwed up awkward romance. Not my favorite book out there. ( )

I liked the book when I first read it then when I saw the movie I couldn't beleve it. A movie was better then a book. I'm not trying to ofend the athor but the people who did the movie got it right. But don't ask me to explain how they got it right cause I just can't! ( )

One of my favorite werewolf books. The movie was so dissapointing. But I love Vivian and her struggle to aceppt her fate. ( )

Do not let the cover or the title stop you. A great read for teens 15-18. It addresses the issue that many teens face of feeling that you belong with an exciting twist that will entice fantasy readers. ( )

In fear I hurried this way and that. I had the taste of blood and chocolate in my mouth, the one as hateful as the other. - Hermann Hesse, "Steppenwolf"

A book for Mummy, although I'm sure she'd prefer cuddly, polite creatures.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0385323050, Hardcover)

Characterizing the adolescent experience as monstrous is not exactly a new idea. M.T. Anderson's woefully confused teen vampire in Thirsty and Jean Thesman's reluctant young witch in The Other Ones serve as excellent examples of this metaphor set to fiction. But no one really captures how our hormones make us howl as well as Annette Curtis Klause. Blood and Chocolate chronicles the longings and passions of one Vivian Gandillon, teenage werewolf. Her pack family, recently burned out of their West Virginia home by suspicious neighbors, has resettled in a sleepy Maryland suburb. At her new school, Viv quickly falls for sensitive heartthrob Aiden, a human--or "meat-boy," as her pack calls him. Soon she is trying to tame her undomesticated desires to match his more civilized sensibilities. "He was gentle. She hadn't expected that. Kisses to her were a tight clutch, teeth, and tongue... His eyes were shy beneath his dark lashes, and his lips curved with delight and desire--desire he wouldn't force on her... he was different." But Vivian's animal ardor cannot be stilled, and she must decide if she should keep Aiden in the dark about her true nature or invite him to take a walk on her wild side.

Klause poetically describes the violence and sensuality of the pack lifestyle, creating a hot-blooded heroine who puts the most outrageous riot grrrls to shame. Blood and Chocolate is a masterpiece of adolescent angst wrapped in wolf's clothing, and its lovely, sensuous taste is sure to be sweet on the teenage tongue. (Ages 13 and older) --Jennifer Hubert
