The gathering chill of a Minnesota autumn provides the backdrop for this idealized romance between Grace, a high school junior, and golden-eyed Sam, who turns into a wolf each fall. Poorly developed secondary characters limit the novel's focus, but a well-wrought atmosphere in which the tension ratchets up every time the temperature dips down keeps readers on edge.
