YA
A pack of wolves attacks Celeste in the woods and then bites her rescuer, Brandon. Celeste eventually connects Brandon's post-bite symptoms with the local werewolf legend and recent sightings. Brandon's condition, once revealed, is no surprise, undermining suspense; sexualization of his werewolf state is a bit off-putting. A subplot involving Celeste's jealous ex-boyfriend develops into a cliffhanger ending.
