Rating: Summary: The Heart of a Werewolf Review: The Heart of a Werewolf When most see the book "Blood and Chocolate", they wonder what it is about. This book is about trust, betrayal, and family. Vivian Gandillon is a girl with a wonderful gift. She is a loup-garou, a werewolf (so is her family). After a terrible incident a year earlier she finds her pack in ruins and still can not find her place. Vivian wants nothing more than to have friends outside the pack and fit in. Suddenly she does fit in because she met Aiden Teague. Aiden and Vivian fall in love. With that love Vivian gets a great boyfriend and friends making her happier then she has been in a year. Although she is happy, she longs to tell Aiden what she is. After a terrible break-up Vivian forgets herself and when she wakes up she realizes she is in such despair that she may have started a chain reaction of terrible murders. After many days of mourning and confusion she feels that she is the cause of all the problems that endanger her and her pack. She then decides that she is the problem and she knows her solution. Vivian must kill herself and she knows the best way to do it. Vivian is just about to kill herself when her friends from the pack find her and confess that she had been set up by two from the pack. Vivian realizes that the two who are responsible for the murders might come and try to harm Aiden. Vivian knew she must find Aiden before the traitor of her pack did. As she looked she was fearful that she would not find him first. Aiden turned out to be easy to find because he was looking for her. She wanted to tell him to leave but he was still fearful of her after their break-up. Earlier she had sent her friends to gather the rest of the pack so they could bring down the traitors, and know she wished they were here because out of the corner of her eye she saw two creators advancing on her and Aiden. As they approached she tried to think on how to stall so she asked them why they were killing innocent people. They hated her and the loved the kill and just did it for sport and now Vivian and Aiden were their next victims. Vivian had other plans she lunged at them and knocked them down with her furry. The fight would have lasted only seconds, but the rest of the pack had finally arrived and their leader and the pack made quick judgment and the traitors had to die. Aiden, who was frightened to have witnessed the whole thing, stood shaking hoping to be released. Vivian came up to him and told him to go and if he every spoke about what happened he would die. For weeks Vivian would not come out of her room she was ashamed to have expose the pack and more embarrassed to have dated Aiden. She was trying to forget about Aiden and the traitors, and her friends and family tried to comfort her but she did not want to be comforted. Until one night Gabe came to comfort her and she found what Aiden would not give her she found love. A few years ago I would not be seen reading about werewolves ,but after reading Blood and Chocolate I changed my mind. My reading choice in books changed after reading this book. I hope you will read this book to.
Rating: Summary: Very Entertaining Review: Blood or chocolate, which tastes better? This book is practically daring you to choose blood. Entertaining, new, original, and downright awesome, this book can capture really any mind, ones of the supernatural and ones that aren't! Klause describes the characters all differently and all with a certain edge. She gives an unpredictable atmosphere which makes the book slightly suspenseful, and almost as if you were reacting to a horror movie. I love the ending and how Klause manages to write this book as if it were a simple line of poetry. Everything fits, and in the end everything ends out fair, and it ends up to be something you never imagined!
Rating: Summary: edge of your seat Review: This book Was probably one of the best books I've ever read! After reading this book I thought It was great! When someone asked me what I thought Of it I couldn't say anything because I was such In awe. I won't say much but through out the whole book what ever Vivian was thinking I baccked her up 100 percent. The ending was great and very surprising, hint why I say edge of your seat. I say this book was Super-duuper-unbelievably great with strawberries on top (I don't like cherries)! :)
Rating: Summary: A Fun Read Review: Don't be fooled by the first page. There is more to this book than boys and "catfights." The name Gabriel is purely a biblical reference. The name Aiden means "fire". I'll leave you to think about those metaphors. While you're at it, don't forget thunder, the moon, the pentagram, and animals. At the end, Klause does have a message about humanity, clearly stated by Gabriel. Nevertheless, if you do take it at face value, it's still a fun read. It's suspenseful, seductive, and well tied together at the end. You'll be pulled through.
Rating: Summary: Great read for young adults Review: Well written & engaging; ideally suited for 13 (if mature) to 19 year old readers. While the plot revolves around werewolves, the story is really about a teenager's desire to find where she fits in.
Rating: Summary: Whoa baby! Review: The characterization in this book is so good it gives me chills. Vivian Gandillon is a one in a million character along with Aiden. I know so many people like Aiden, think they know all there is to know about paranormal things, thinks there so cool because they listen to heavy metal and where goth clothings like his group of friends. It was g reat how Viv proved them wrong on the werewolf scale. I do slightly disagree with ACK that in the book she said no human would ever understand them be with them or something like that...I think she should write a sequel where she proves that theory wrong. That would be interesting.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful, sexy, well written Review: Vivian Thomas is a werewolf. Living with her pack who flee from the peering eyes of humans. It is while living in Maryland when she falls in love with Adrian. Smart, and cute he's her perfect boyfriend. Except for the fact that he's human. Caught between reveling herself to him, and keeping her pacts secret Vivian often fears shes going insane. Then theres Gabriel hot, powerful and totally sexy who seems to have a thing for her.... Written by Annette Curtis Klause, Blood and choclate is even better than her other book The Silver Kiss.
Rating: Summary: Good Story Review: This story is written very well, but something about it bothers me. The ending was so sad... ah, but if I say why, I'd give the ending away. It's worth reading. I've never read this author's work before, but really it's a good story. If you like books dealing with werewolves and isolation, this book's a good investment. (I also recommend it to L.J. Smith readers!)
Rating: Summary: Couldn't Put It Down! Review: The book I chose, Blood and Chocolate, by Annette Curtis Klause, was an excellent book. From the moment I started reading the first page, the book sucked me right into the story. The author chose the perfect characters to play werewolves. Each person had a unique and amazing personality. Rafe and Vivian were my favorite characters. I loved Rafe's bad boy image. And Vivian was so cool. She was always so calm and sophisticated. Whenever she was faced with a problem she never lost her temper. I wish I could be like that. I lose control of myself every now and then. I liked a lot of things about the book. I especially liked the way the author described the transformation of people into wolves. "Her laugh turned to a moan at the first ripple in her bones. She tensed her thighs and abdomen to will the change on, and clutched the night air like a lover as her fingers lengthened and her nails sprouted. Her blood churned with heat like desire. The night, she thought, the sweet night. The exciting smells of rabbit, damp earth, and urine drenched the air..." Her choices of words are amazing. It seems almost as if she had experienced it for herself. The theme of the story is to accept someone for who they are. Aiden didn't want anything to do with Vivian once she told him she was a werewolf. I totally agree with it. If a person can't love you for who you are, then that person is not a true friend. I can relate to this. For a while I thought I had to act a certain way or do certain things for people to like me. But after reading this book I realized that they weren't my real friends. My real friends like me no matter how I act or what I do. I would definitely recommend this book to people who are fascinated by vampires, werewolves, or witches.
Rating: Summary: "Blood and Chocolate" Review: The book "Blood and Chocolate" is the best book I have ever read, in a scale from 1-10 i would definitly give it a 10 because it involves mystery, danger and romance it is a book that will captivate you since you open it. The authors use of detail and diction is so important it gives life to the book, Annette Curtis Klause uses such vivid language that the readers will live each second of it and enjoy it until the end and you will want to read it again and again. If you liked this book you will also like to read "A Walk to Remember" and "The Wren and the Lark" because they also involve mystery and romance.I encourage you to read this interesting and captivating book, you will have a great time and enjoy the time you spend reading this book.
