Review
Katelyn McBride is a lover of gymnastics and dancing and dreams to become the star of any show in LA. but who would have thought that dreams will be broken if high expectations are kept? Not Katelyn. Unleashed is the first book in the Wolf Spring Chronicles and by far the most unexpected, thrilling book about secrets, change and werewolves. That's right Werewolves!!! Katelyn's life is exactly how she wanted it to be, an in progress star gymnast, trainers helping her get in to the best college in LA, and her mom a 'Reigning prima ballerina'; Giselle Chevalier who supported Katelyn despite wanting her to become a Ballerina instead of a Gymnast. Katelyn become the anchor in her mothers life after her father was murdered. After the death, she was never the same strong willed person as before.
After an unexpected earthquake Katelyn's only living parent and guardian is killed leaving 16-year-old Katelyn in the hands of the only living relative; her grandfather, Mordecai McBride aka Ed. With that said it doesn't seem all bad, until Katelyn has to leave LA, her friends, her dream all behind and move half way across the world to join him in a small town Wolf Spring in Arkansas, and live in the forest. YAY *sigh* Mordecai McBride the most straightforward grandfather anyone can have, their relationship doesn't start off to a good start having conflicted arguments about the past and her chosen career path, but things change. They both start to bond well and get to know one another better, I guess that's what happens when you don't meet quite often. I really liked his character he was well grounded despite his views on all things modern, and sure knew how to keep Katelyn safe which is exactly what she needed.
In this book Katelyn suffers quite a bit with the loss of both of her parents and having to move to a whole new place, with new people and most of all a different lifestyle. Yet she keeps herself grounded and tries to adjust to the new lifestyle. I guess after getting introduced to a guy who wears a cowboy boots and calls himself Trick instead of Vladimir kinda helps Katelyn to relax considering he's going to pick and drop her off to school. Right, like that will help, Wait um I guess it did. Ha who would have thought!!! Vladimir aka Trick is a Russian senior, yet Wolf Spring born who is close to Mordecai which startles Katelyn for the side she sees in Ed whenever Trick is around. Trick is quite mysterious, yet easy for Katelyn to get along with leading both of them to like each other, but most of town people dislike him and is hated by most of the kids at school, for real reason Katelyn doesn't know. Trick helps Katelyn adjust but sometimes pushes her away at times that really annoyed me, she didn't do anything, she doesn't even know half of the town history to understand what is actually going on in Wolf Spring.
And that is where the History project comes in, on the first day in school what could be worse than having to partner up for a project. Nothing. Katelyn is partnered up with Cordelia Fenner, who's strength is stronger than any boy in school and has darker secrets that Katelyn would not be able to handle. Hanging around a lot with each other they become good friends, Cordelia tells her quite a bit of the Fenner's after the incident with Katelyn. But no one can know for this secret could jeopardize everything in Wolf Spring for everyone, especially after two more attacks happen. Cordelia not only has 2 older sisters but cousins too, who live with her; Jesse and Justin. Justin sure is the one who can make Katelyn swoon by a single touch and has a more mysterious side to him, more than Trick. Justin is a real mystery in the book, not much of him is revealed to the readers which make you want to read more, all we know is that he has a killer bike and has the tendency to kiss Katelyn even though he has a girlfriend. What?! Yup you heard not only is Katelyn attracted to him but he's attracted to her, for some odd reason. What could it be?? Hmmmmm
Things start to change for Katelyn she starts to feel different, after she was attacked in the woods. What could it be? Seems like Cordelia knows something but doesn't wish to share with her. This part sure does it for me, more action and more secrets are uncovered and history of the Fenner clan is given. But what is so bad about getting bitten by a dog. Or was it something more sinister than meet the eye. Katelyn soon discovers that the dark secret is the existence of Werewolves, not just any ordinary one but human's who change on the full moon, and the Fenner's are all werewolves and all claim they didn't bite her. Knowing this changes everything, the bite on Katelyn's leg was the only thing that changed her into one.
This book takes you on a crazy journey in the small town of Wolf Spring, where even the darkest secrets cannot remain undiscovered. The Hell-bound is the one thing keeping all the Fenner's alert for anything can happen with the hell-bound around but is the Hell-bound just a myth to make kids sleep or the real deal??. And the one question on everyone's mind is; Who bite Katelyn, that too not on the full moon??? This changed everything in the book and made me want the second book the minute I finished Unleashed, crazy cliffhanger which left me speechless and even more intrigued to how it had ended. Read it to find out what it was and exactly how Katelyn McBride's experience in Wolf Spring was. Go on, I dare you. This book brings you a mystery, thriller, romance and the ordinary type and most of all werewolves with dark secrets. Amazing book in the Wold Springs Chronicles, a job well done Nancy and Debbie.
