Book Reviews of Blood and Chocolate
Book Review: Injustly horrid
Summary: 1 Stars
What an awful book. This book was so bad it seemed unfairly so. I hardly believed that any book could achieve the level it did. Basically it's about Vivian, a disgusting, insufferable brat who cares only for herself and how she can benefit by others, except in rare circumstances. She was 16 and for god's sake, cared only about sex! Every page you turned to carried some note of this topic and her provactiveness.
I picked this book up hoping for a fantasy tale about werewolves and a forbidden love (because I love the supernatural) and instead I get a cheesy, cheap romance novel. Which is all it is, boiled down.
She was involved with so many men it was hard to distinguish them from each other. Aiden struck a nerve, though, with his rebellious nature and messy looks, until of course, the author made her last bad mistake and had Vivian forsake him.
All in all, if you are reading this with the notion of buying it, please do yourself a favor and don't. Escape the suffering coming to you, please; save yourself, it's too late for me.
Book Review: blood and chocolate is excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
blood and chocolate is one of the best books I have read. Vivian is a 16 year old werewolf and falls in love with a human boy. However the males in her pack are prepared to fight for her to win her, wether she wants the or not. I didn,t really care about vivian and disliked Aiden a lot. The best character is easily Gabriel. He combines power and sensitivity easily. Read this book.Book Review: Brilliant

This is one of the best books I've ever read EVER. I loved Gabrielle's character and felt sorry for Vivian after Aiden dumped her (idiot!). I'm glad her and Gabrielle got together at the end. But why does Vivian refer to her mother as 'Esme' and not 'mum'?Book Review: best book eva!
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book that I will treasure forever, it manages to be funny, sad, a mystery/romance and horror all at once. Vivien is a 16 year old girl who happens to be a loup garou - a werewolf. Vivien lives with her mother and the rest of their pack hiding in the city where they exist within the human world but are forever apart from it. Vivien breaks this unspoken barrier when she falls in love with Aiden a human boy in her high school and tries unsuccessfully to lead a more normal human life. Vivien's relationship with Aiden breaks your heart because you KNOW it will end badly, not only does Vivien end up hurt and rejected by the boy she loves but her romance with the human sparks off serious resentment with the Five- the teenage males nearest her age in the Pack. This resentment spirals out of control and endangers the whole Pack's welfare as human bodies begin to pile up, suspicions are raised towards Vivien and she must try to clear her name and find the real killer before the Pack is hunted down by humans once more. The best part about this book is that it deals with werewolves which is very rare in YA horror which normally tends to focus solely on vampires or witches. This werewolf novel is very well written with great characters- particularly Gabriel (hubba hubba!) the 24 year old drifter who much to Vivian's embarassment looks set to become her mother's toy boy. The one liners are very funny and anyone who doesn't laugh out loud at Vivien's dry wit doesn't possess a funny bone- the best line that springs to mind is Rafe's "I got me a new honey", and Vivien's zinger of "yeah who is she when she's concious."
This book is a classic and you really FEEL for poor Vivian who only wants to try and balance a normal life with her werewolf nature. I cannot stress how much I love this book and fans of LJ Smith, and Cate Tiernan would be mad to miss this. For these who enjoy those authors I would also suggest a YA novel called Companions of the Night, and by the same author Silver Kiss Clause's take on vampires.
If there is a God I'd just like to state it would make my life complete if Annette Kurtis Clause would write a follow up to this novel I want more!
