A little bit of a disappointing end to the trilogy.

Tess's fifteenth birthday is almost here. Soon she will have to decide her future -- and she must decide what form of an animal she will be for the rest of her life. When her parents send her to stay with her cousins for the summer on a rural farm out state, she realizes that she'll have to make her decision while she's there. But something is disturbing her, and it's something that has to do with the mysterious woods near the farm. As she tries to solve a dark mystery and avoid the rage of her tyrant Uncle Maurice, she becomes involved in ancient web of mystery and intrigue, and soon she is in utter danger. She has to keep herself from danger, but at the same time she has to make the biggest decision of her life. Her powers as a Switcher are almost up, and time is dwindling away. What animal will she choose to stay in forever? And will she ever get to see her fiteenth birthday? The final installment in Kate Thompson's fantastic fantasy Switchers trilogy, Wild Blood, was a little disappointing, and a bit boring. The story was just weak and not very suspenseful, and the plot kept repeating itself through the chapters. But I congratulate the author on writing this novel very well, and she constructs her paragraphs very beautifully. But, I had higher expectations in the conclusion of this wonderful trilogy. I recommend the Switchers trilogy to all fans of the Animorphs series, but though you may find the plot similiar, this trilogy is actually very different, and unique in its own way.

this is one great book....

I've never read any books by kate thompson but one day i was looking through the new books at the library and i happened to see it. I started reading it and i couldn't put it down! it was great. i just got sucked into it. i felt like i was tess and i couldn't stop reading. tess is almost 15 which means she has to decide what animal she is going to stay as. she is at her uncles house and suddenly her cousins disappear. her and kevin go on a quest to find them in the woods her uncle is so desperate to sell, and quickly. this book is great and i recommend it to all readers!
