This is the third instalment to the series and it is written from Brittany´s perspective. This is problably the most deep book of them all, because Brittany really has something to be scared of. You get a feeling that if she isn´t a wolf, she has nothing to be and she can just lay back and die. And you really feel that she feels for the Dark Guardian thing. i have always thought she was enoying, but now you suddenly understand, why she hasn´t been a part of the group, and she almost become my favourite characters in this series. But now i am kind of getting tired of the whole transformaton progress and them beign confused. And i really would have liked also in the other books that the author could have shifted the point of view to their mates sometimes, because you don´t get to know them, like i want to. some funny moment i think was these lines -
Haha "the other pain: Mason." - Brittany. Haha yay the other pain in the ass! OMG and this, so much fun: "So?" Lucas prodded. "Anyone up for a two-legged run in the moonlight?" LOL. I just felt so much for Brittany. She so didn´t deserve this. I just wished that something would happen and she would be wolf, but it didn´t. I am not sure that i would have been okay, and in the future beign with all the others. Thsi is a fun, good and nice series.
