Never Cry Werewolf

This book was a lot of fun to read and had several characters that I enjoyed getting to know. The relationship between Shelby and Austin was entertaining to watch develop and the author did a good job of bringing the readers into the story through her descriptions of the setting.

Enchanting!

I loved 'Never cry werewolf'. It is a very simple story (girl meets guy, guy is werewolf), but that very simplicity, combined with the authenticity of the narrator's voice, is just what makes the book so enchanting. So many urban fantasy- and YA fantasy-novels die a slow death because of an everexpanding cast of secondary supernatural characters, the appearance of which make the pace of the story slow (plus they distract from the character development of the narrator). No such thing in 'Never cry werewolf'! Shelby, the main character, is fresh, engaging and spunky - none of these weak, Bella-esque traits. Throughout the book we learn more about her past and her issues, and she really grows and develops as a person. The romance between Shelby and Austin is believable and very well written. Also, I loved Ariel! I really, really hope that this is the first in a series; even though it is a rounded story, there are one or two clues that could easily be explored in further novels, and I would very much like to see Shelby and Austin again!

You won't be disappointed.

Harmony Book Reviews

This is only the second or third werewolf book I've read (Shiver and the Twilight books being the others) and I absolutely love it. Unlike Shiver and New Moon, it wasn't a gut-wrenching book. For the most part it was highly amusing and just fun in general which is not to say it's just a laughable book - it's just not dark and mostly sad. The idea of a werewolf at brat-camp is completely original. At that to the unique way she spins the werewolf-ism and you've got on unique novel. I couldn't really relate to Shelby because I've never done half of the things she's done but I loved reading about her. She was just a fun character. Her parents (specifically her step-mother) were ridiculously over-the-top which, unfortunately, made them easy to relate to. (Why is it always the bad parents easy to relate to?!) I enjoyed reading about her time at brat camp - the counselors just made me crack up half of the time. The ending was adorable - slightly predictable but unexpected at the same time. Overall, I highly recommend this. Pick up a copy!

Never Cry Werewolf by Heather Davis

Never Cry Werewolf by Heather Davis 5 of 5 stars. When Shelby is packed off to "brat camp" as punishment for one too many broken curfews, things start looking up when she meets fellow camper (and son of a rock star!) Austin Bridges III. But soon Shelby realizes there's more to Authin than crush material--he wants her help guarding a dark family secret. Shelby knows that bad boys get her into trouble...but who is she to turn her back on a guy in need, especially such a good-looking one?(sumary from book) Add a bit of Cinderella's evil step-mother to a Beauty and the Beast style tale and you get Shelby's story. Her mother died three years ago. Her chemist dad became rich for his new cosmetic and married a horrible woman with way to much plastic surgery. It isn't so surprising that Shelby would feel the need to rebel. But what she didn't know is that her new step-mother's persuasive powers could get her sent to brat camp... Luckily- or perhaps, unluckily- this brat camp is where a hot rock star's son/werewolf is spending his summer as well. Between pushy counselors and a very heavy, very scary secret, can Shelby keep it together and help save her new friend, even when a desert brat camp in hell is hanging over her head? Never Cry Werewolf is a short read. Some of my favorite books are short, and this one is now among them. Heather Davis creates a unique and quirky voice for Shelby that I totally love. The plot is wonderful, the characters, if not always believable, awesome, and the writing to die for. I'm not big into supernatural novels, but I have a love for Jacob Black like plenty of other girls, and this book looked pretty cool. Austin is closer to your more "classic" werewolf than Jacob, but I think that's part of what makes the story more unique and likable.
