Has anyone gotten their hands on it early? What did you think (without spoilers of course)?

I look forward to all her new books, but I must say I'm more interested in getting my hands on Taste of Darkness

She also has a giveaway on her Facebook page where you take a quiz to find out what kind of storm you are (I'm a snowstorm :)) then you post your answer for an entry. Check it out here https://www.facebook.com/mvsfans/post...
There are still a couple more days to enter.
Luke Riley is lost. His mother's recent death has set Luke and his family adrift. Even though his father, twin brothers, and their three Bloodhounds are search and rescue volunteers, they have been unable to rescue themselves and become a family again. The summer after sixth grade looms in Luke's mind as a long, lonely three months where the only thing he can look forward to is watching The Weather Channel. Luke is fascinated with the weather, but since his mother's death in a storm, he is also terrified. Even the promised 13th birthday present of a Bloodhound puppy fails to lift Luke's spirits. He would rather have a different breed - a Papillon, but his father insists he get a Bloodhound.
When Luke decides to get the Bloodhound from Willajean, a dog breeder who owns Storm Watcher Kennel, he works out a deal to help at her kennel in exchange for the expensive dog. Thrilled to have a summer with a purpose, Luke befriends Willajean's daughter, Megan and together they plan how Luke can get a Papillon puppy instead of a Bloodhound.
I think this is considered a middle grade book. The newsletter said the age range is 8-13
