I loved the 90s references - YM magazine! - but feel like so many of them were probably lost on teen readers. Plus Emma drove me nuts with the way that she always thought other people were responsible for making her unhappy in the future. Helloooo - if you're always upset, the problem just might be you! Oh well... it wasn't a favorite but was still a fun read! I had such mixed feelings about this one as well!

I think you are right about the alternating viewpoints. It gave it much more depth. I really felt sympathy toward both girls, even when I felt they made poor decisions and I think knowing what was going on inside their respective heads made that possible. I loved this book.

I used to ADORE Anne Rice back in the day, but she lost me right around Memnoch and with the Angel books. Though I did enjoy Blackwood Farm. Well, I'll probably still check it out, despite her swearing she'd never write about werewolves. Smiles! Lori I’m so on the fence about The Wolf Gift.
