Second Nature
It’s been a little while since I’ve readSecond Nature so I had to look back on my previous review on Goodreads. I was a bit surprised that my review was so short but then I remembered there wasn’t a whole lot about this story that was memorable.
First off, this is a werewolf story. It was difficult to tell which supernatural direction this story was heading as it progressed, however, the fact that it was about werewolves was a pleasant surprise for me. I am into supernatural books, in case no one has figured that out yet, lol. Anywho, the story revolves around a girl named Saren (interesting name) who lives with her grandmother, deals with a mysterious sickness, and also finds herself drawing closer to a fellow high school student who has his own mysteries about him.
The biggest problem I had with this book was that it was extraordinarily too short. As a writer myself, I found myself wanting to take control of this story. Most scenes needed so much more description and could have probably stretched it so far to make a sequel with half the book. The climax seemed rushed and the tension that normally would have you on edge was lacking. However, the ending seemed to leave room for a future sequel. I hope the author makes the decision to continue Saren’s story someday.
With that being said, I would still recommend this book to fans of YA and werewolves. If you like Blood and Chocolate I think you’ll enjoy Second Nature regardless of the above issues.
Remember, reviews are simply the opinions of readers. Don’t not read a book simply because of a bad review. And please, do not judge a book by it’s cover.
