Nightshade Andrea Cremer Books

Nightshade is an amazing, spelling binding story that had me glued to the pages until I finished it. From page one, Andrea had me completely captivated not only with her characters and her amazing world building, but with her writing style. I was I felt like I barely had time to put my seat belt on, before I was whisked away in this thrilling read.

18 year old Calla Tor is a warrior and alpha of the Nightshade pack. She's a resilient, strong female leader who is torn between tradition and her heart. Her tradition is Ren, the hot alpha male of the Bane pack, to whom Calla will be marrying after they graduate from their Mountain School. While she loves Ren, her heart is falling for Shay, an outsider who makes Calla question everything she's been raised to believe. She's never questioned her pack's traditions until now. Calla has a choice to make, follow what she's been raised to do and believe, or follow what she feels is right.

Nightshade has a wonderful cast of many different characters, all of whom I felt connected to in some way. They're real, bold and I felt like I was there in on their secret (which no humans are allowed know about) as I was able to learn more about their packs. I never once felt lost in who each of them are and what their roles are in Nightshade. The Pack life was brilliantly written and more than I had hoped it would be. Being a wolf girl, I absolutely love Andrea's unique wolf mythology, as Nightshade is not your stereotypical werewolf book. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters in both human and wolf form. Calla and Ren have two strong packs and while their pack members may not always get a long, their pack is making adjustments now for what it will be like when they're united as one pack.

Andrea has written two different, yet equally commanding characters with Ren and Shay. I'm left feeling just as torn as Calla is. I understand Calla's fight against Ren and her pull towards Shay. Ren is a leader, a fighter and seen as a player, though I think there's a lot more to Ren than what we see through Calla's eyes. Don't get me wrong, Ren and Calla's sexual tension leave the pages smoldering. Ren has a way at jumping off the pages at you and Shay has a way of making you fall for his quiet confidence and bold bravery in a world he's just starting to learn about. He challenges Calla and makes her think for herself. I don't envy Calla and the choice she has to make.

Andrea leaves no shortage of romance or action. It's perfectly blended, and mixed in with an amazing wolf pack dynamic that I've never read in any other book before. Nightshade's vivid setting completely mesmerized me and left me wishing I could spend the day running patrols through the woods that cover the mountain side that both the Nightshade and Bane packs guard.

Full of all the right paranormal elements, including other mythical creatures/characters, Nightshade left me breathless, wanting more and thinking about it long after I had finished reading it. I am really looking forward to reading it's sequel, Wolfsbane, when it's released next year.

Nightshade Andrea Cremer Books Reviews

I have the ARC for the fourth book in the series, so I figured I'd better get a move on. There may be some mild kissing spoilers.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer is a book about teenaged werewolves. It stars the stuffy Calla, who is the alpha of her pack. She's destined to mate with Ren, the alpha of another pack. And these two packs stroll the halls as the most popular kids. During the very first pages, Calla rescues a mere human, named Shay, and introduces him as the third wheel in the love triangle. With Shay, Calla teaches him the background of her people, the Guardians, and he shows her that not all is how it seems. Will Calla be able to become the individual that she's always dreamed of becoming?

I can see why people like this book. It's pretty fast paced, and there's some interesting world building. I like the ideas that stem with the mythology of the Guardians, Keepers, and whatnot. I also liked how Cremer shows us a lot of this as Calla is explaining her world to Shay. There are some pretty good twists that develop throughout the plot, and leaves me interested enough to stick around for the sequel.

That said, I had a ton of issues with this book. I wonder if I'd have liked it better three years ago when it first came out. The dialogue is so stuffy and stilted-- all of the characters sound middle aged, especially Calla. And she is way too easy with her lips. She very frequently kisses different boys right after one another. Sorry if that's a spoiler, but if you don't know there's a love triangle by page 5, shame on you! Also, I don't understand why these kids are taking some high brow college courses in high school. Are they in a magnet school or something? Organic Chemistry? Some other crazy philosophical course? Most kids would be lucky to be in a school like that separating caffeine from tea. I'm rather jealous actually. Both of the boys seem pretty pushy, so I'm not really digging either one of them. I wish Calla would just tell them both to take a hike and go on a girly vacation with Bryn or something.

Overall, good world building and some interesting twists, but I'm not yet convinced by the characters, how they talk, or where this is going. We'll see how the next 3 books go.
