Jodi Picoult has reached a new level with her new book, Lone Wolf. This book dragged me into a story, that I was uncertain about and before I knew it I was firmly engrossed. So much so that I continued to read through the tears, laughter, pain and heartache until the end of the book.

Luke Warren, the main character, was a man who lived life within his own boundaries. To some that life excluded his human family. To others he was a man who was able to understand and be one with a pack of wolves. T

I enjoyed this book. It was a little hard to get into at the beginning. I loved how the love of family really came together at the end. Im not sure how I would be able to make a decision like cara and edward did.
