After my utter love of Stacy Claflin's Lost Wolf, I was (heh, heh) hungry for more. I discovered Emily Martha Sorensen through a giveaway a while back and was excited to hop on board for an ARC of her latest release, Trials of A Teenage Werevulture, which came out yesterday. The title said it all: humor, imagination, and fun. How did it hold up?First of all, I really like the world that Sorenson's invented. Being a vampire or werewolf is nothing weird or exotic unless you're an exceptionally rare kind of were or vampire... like a vulture. Gulp. There was plenty of humor in a fun atmosphere and a surprisingly thrilling plot that Lisette and company uncover that unwinds beautifully as the story progresses. The scenes range from embarrassing teenage moments to serious danger to family love and heroics, making this a tough one to put down. That being said, the writing style was at times gimmicky and covered with puns, making me think this is a story best meant for tweens who have outgrown Monster High but aren't ready for higher end books.
It was fun--I enjoyed it from the first page on and am looking forward to the sequels!
