Everyone has a monster inside. Whether want to admit it or not. No one is without their skeletons.

Frenzy is not only about a beast that lives inside a girl but also the demons of small town America.

I really dug this book. It spoke to me. I was raised around the same people Liv had around her.

I wouldn't recommend this book to a lot of people. I think Block's writing style would probably annoy them. But to me it sings like a Tori Amos song. It captivates me like a B-movie. It always reminds me tha...more

I've got to admit that I was expecting more. If this hadn't been short and if I hadn't been stuck in a doctor and a dentist office, I probably wouldn't have finished it. I'm trying hard to allow myself to abandon books after 50 or 100 pages if I just don't really care what happens next. Philosophy: life's too short for bad books, and there are SO many I'll never read, though that would be a nice afterlife--the endless library.

Anyway, just not much good going on here. Liv is done with high school, but she doesn't know what she's going to do with herself now. She's a bit of a town freak, shunned by peers in part because she's very hirsute, but she has two good friends: longtime buddy Pace, a closeted companion she calls "Beard" to her nickname of "Skirt" and dark-skinned secret boyfriend Corey. Several of the families of those who have shamed or mistreated her over the last few years have lost loved ones to the full-moon killer, a menace that hardly crawls out of the background. Just about everything in this novel reads as deep background. Nothing seems real, important, or three-dimensional. For four years, Lia has what's wrong with her. It all started with her period at 13 and extreme anger at her mother who arrived home with a wolf carcass in her truck. She doesn't remember the transformation, but the story sure would have benefitted from a better description of it and what she did to frighten herself and alienate her parents so. Important characters, events, and settings just seem to sort of turn up when required in the story without adequate creation and fleshing out. So a boyfriend candidate for Pace turns out to be a ghost, and there is a disappearance never really developed. The family of werewolves living near her for years is hardly more than sketched in. The ultimate confrontations between were-Liv and her shotgun-wielding mother barely happens, and I'm not even clear whether boyfriend Corey is supernatural in some way or 100% human when he faces the seven werewolf brothers. Maybe I'll give Pretty Dead a try or Weezy Bat, but I'm in no hurry after reading this one. Cardboard cut-out of a werewolf story, anyone?(less)

This book was a toughie for me. While I loved the concept of this book, I found I couldn't relate enough to the characters to really invest in them. The idea that Liv is a werewolf and doesn't know it, is exactly the kind of concept I usually go crazy for, but not with this one so much. I did, however, love the idea that her mother is a wolf hunter and there was crazy tension between Liv and her parents.

The only reason I even gave this book 2 stars is because its Francesca Lia Block and I've been such a big fan of her throughout most of my life.

This book was awful. At least Pretty Dead had a plot and the writing that FLB is known for. This book read like fanfiction. It was so simple and matter of fact. I was BORED.

In my opinion, this book would have been better if:
-Liv's character had been fleshed out better. I liked that she was angry and that played into the lyncathrope aspect of it

I've never read a story about a werewolf/wild girl that had a main character that was so ultimately spineless. Liv is marketed as this intense badass, except that her entire feeling of self worth comes from her boyfriend (nope, that NEVER ends badly), and the number of times that we could've skipped over to actual relevant plot occurrences if she'd just opened her mouth and asked, "can you explain that thing you just said?" was incredibly irritating.

My Review:
Red- haired Olivia or Liv for short. She doesn't look like her parents and is locked in typical teen struggles with their values. But things aren't normal otherwise. Liv went though more than mere puberty changes the night of her 13th birthday, and as time goes on, she only feels like her true self when she is in the woods. While struggling to determine what really happened to her that frightful night. Liv's hair is embarrassingly hairy on every part of her body- even her toes- and he...more

A quick summary. Liv is a 17 year old werewolf. Who's in denial. She's weird and awkward, but Liv finds a place to belong with Pace her best friend and Corey her boyfriend. Liv lives a lie hiding who and what she is from everyone even herself. Her mom is the perfect former beauty queen huntress, to Liv's abnormal freakish physical qualities and vegetarian tendencies. Liv doesn't want to face what she is, or trust her boyfriend to still love her if he knew she was different. But a mysterious family of werewolves has been keeping an eye on her for years. With their appearance she will have to confront her fears.

With the substance in this book I find it hard to even write this review. I don't know where to begin. Ugh, I finished this story thinking, Can I get my Money Back? It seems like Block wanted to take these commonly used ideas and story lines and do something different. But it came off under planned and patchy and just failed. I suppose I have to mention that this book is really short, maybe too short. The story could have used more development, there's barely any backstory to a lot of the threads. The conclusions felt limp. They did make sense, but I don't feel Block elaborated enough on anything, especially Pace's romance, or end. The story line about the werewolf family and Victor was like an after thought, hardly worth mentioning, but could have become a great love triangle. I also found the romance in this book weak. We enter the story when everything great about a romance has already happened, not that it mattered the way they came together was pretty anti climatic anyway. Liv had already made up her mind, she had known and been with Corey for years, so there was no wooing, no falling in love or challenge from another beau. It was really a little bit of angst, apprehension, then a lot of sex. The whole book seemed more like an outline or summary for a book in the process of being written. I found the Frenzy anything but what the title suggests. It was flat and depressing.(less)

I will admit that I found the prose to be good, hypnotic and almost lyrical with a hint of awkwardness that suited the main character, Liv. But that was not nearly enough to make this story redeemable in the slightest.

The mythology relating to werewolves made absolutely no sense. None! Okay, so Liv is a shapeshifing wolf because her mother was cursed, but the one who cursed her mother is a shapeshifting wolf? What? How is it a curse, how did the shapeshifters come to be, and how are they able to bestow the curse on others? But that wasn't the only paranormal thing going on in this story. A side story with a house that could or could not be haunted was also introduced with very little explanation of why it was there or what the purpose of it was if only to install anger in the reader with the unjust outcome.

The main problem I had was with the way the suicide of a young gay teen was romanticized. It really upset me, and I'm appalled that the author failed to address the severity of such an action and the terrible consequences.

I know there is not an easy solution for the many hardships that teens encounter. Even though I can sympathize with the many struggles that questioning or homosexual teens face, there is no getting around the fact that not everyone accepts the ways of our ever evolving society. While I do believe a tremendous amount of effort has been done to make more people more "tolerant," which is still not the same as accepting, it still doesn't guaranty that an individual will be able to live the life they choose to without prejudice.

That is exactly why these efforts have to made in young adult literature as well. There is nothing remotely romantic about suicide, and I'm beyond heart-broken and disappointed that even a fictional character was used to play a part of such a weak plot.

Aside from that, the heavy foreshadowing lead to color me obvious revelations that Liv, the only werewolf I've ever encountered who actually made no use of her wolf-like instincts or senses (Really? What's the point of being a wolf then?), was blind to until someone spelled it out for her. Other parts just felt like forced filler that added no artistic value to the story.

Olivia (Liv) doesn't fit in at school (except with her gay best friend, Pace, and her boyfriend, Corey) and she feels like the black sheep in the family. She has a layer of hair all over her body, so she is pretty much ostracized.

Liv feels like a monster practically the entire book, and doesn't really know what she is until she comes across a woman that answers all of her questions for her.

She always felt a little different but when her mother comes home from a hunting trip with a dead wolf in the back of her truck, it sets Liv off and she has no idea what's happening. Liv has never felt more alone that she did then.

Now 17, she has her boyfriend Corey and her best friend Pace. Pace is someone she's confided in. They both share their secrets and have been there for each other when no one has. When Pace is found dead, who can Liv turn to? How do you tell your boyfriend you're a werewolf? That's only part of Liv's problem. Dark family secrets, a pack of wolves and an ancient curse will make Liv question everything she's ever known about herself, her family and the town she's grown up in.

Liv has no one she can turn to talk about her werewolf problems, but when the pack comes to her, she can either give in and accept their ways, she can fight it and try and keep a normal life with Corey. The pack has their own secrets and are tied to Liv in more ways than one. There's something about their leader Victor that draws Liv in, but if she does, she might lose Corey forever.

Being a huge wolf girl fan, I was really looking forward to reading a different take on werewolves. I think Francesca's spin on wolves was fascinating. I didn't feel a connection to the story and characters like I had hoped, or like I wanted to. I felt the plot kept jumping around, which made me feel the story was a little choppy. I really wanted to get to know more about the bigger characters like Victor, the leader of the wolf pack, Corey and Pace. Having said that, if there's a sequel, I'm definitely going to read it. I've learned that just because I don't connect to the first book in a series, doesn't mean I won't love the next book. There's more I'd like to find out about the story and characters. The Frenzy is a quick read and one I think Francesca's fans will like. This is a YA book, and does have some maturer YA content in it. (less)

Liv spent her time after "the incident" at thirteen avoiding the posibility that it might happen again, or why. It was a fun ride to figure out what she was and what caused this change within her.

It is like a breath of fresh air when I come across a paranormal book that truly seperates itself from the rest. I love werewolf books, but after reading so many they all seem to blend together. Block really stepped out of the "norm" for this genre and created something haunting, suspenseful, and pretty amazing. When most other books in this category experience how the person changes and then adapts, this one showcased the fight against the change. Liv had to live with being so different, internally and externally, all she wanted was to be herself. She had to hide the relationship with the love of her life, and hold the secret of her best friends identity along with her own.

The relationships among the characters were very complex and created an emotional turmoil in me. I absolutely hated Liv's mother, felt pity for her father, and loved Corey and Pace. I hated that Pace and Liv had to pretend to be with each other because it was socially accepted in their community. Neither could be with who they truely wanted to. Block's writing really tugged at my heart-strings.

One thing I would have liked to see more of was the family of wolves in the forest. I had a hard time deciding what part of Liv to side with. I understand her motivation to want to be normal, but I am always attracted to the 'paranormal' in these books. I wish I could have gotten to see more of Liv with the other wolves and what could have become of that.

The best way I think to describe this story is that it is gritty and rough around the edges. This community that Liv lives in is not an accepting place for anyone outside the norm and how a young girl struggles through it is the focus of this story. For anyone who is a fan of the paranormal and YA, I do recommend this book.(less)

That being said while I did like this book I was surprised to find that I didn't like as much as I thought I would. When Liv was thirteen years old her mother came home with the pelt of a wolf and Liv just about lost it. She ends up going to see a psychiatrist and getting medicated but inside she knows she is truly different and that even with the medication she may not be able to control herself. The only time she feels safe and happy is with her best friend Pace and her boyfriend Corey. Pace is gay and him and Liv pretend to be dating to keep each other safe from their families reactions and attitudes (Corey is black and Liv knows her mother would absolutely flip). Sometimes this makes Corey jealous, but mostly him and Liv are definitely in love and accept each other for who they are. Then Liv sees a woman watching her in the woods and goes to ask Joe a man who owns a prosthetics shop in town about (she has always been drawn to him and isn't sure why, according to her parents she should stay away from him but she feels comfortable around him so she hides her time with him as well). Joe takes her to meet the woman and Liv learns about herself and her sons and meets the womans family. She feels like she could belong here but they ask her for something that is just much mroe then she can give. Liv spends a lot of time in limbo trying to figure out what to do while all the different story lines start to come to a head. The thing that drives me crazy is that Pace commits suicide and it's hinted that the reason is because Micheal was a ghost. I wanted to know more about that story line, and it killed me that we didn't get it. He was such a great character and I just felt like I wanted to know what happened. The very end of the story feels very much like the end of the movie version of Blood & Chocolate (very different from the book). Towards the end I kind of feel like Liv's limbo affects the way the story is told too much, to the point where the reader just starts to feel a little bit puzzled about where everything could possibly be going.

The premise behind Olivia's curse is a novel one and definitely refreshing. The way all the characters intertwine is also neat; however, I feel like this story is more of an outline lacking complete detail and fleshing out. I missed dialogue and more explanations of actions. I was left feeling like the woods and the other werewolves were never really explained completely. Most characters only had one side, and presenting more viewpoints would have helped the storyline and character connections.
