About this ebook

A senior in high school abandons his perfect image for the chance to embrace his inner beast and the girl he loves.

Daniel Morning seems perfect—handsome, charismatic, intelligent. But living up to everyone’s expectations has cost him the right to make his own decisions. The urge to shatter those expectations is beginning to gnaw at his insides.

Then Daniel meets Misty. She’s smoky, rebellious, tender...and much more. She decides to let him into her pack of outcasts—and in on their little secret: She and her friends have learned to shapeshift and have been prowling the night as wolves.

Daniel soon falls in love with the primal sensation of shifting, just as he’s falling in love with Misty. The freedom to follow his most basic instincts is like nothing he’s ever felt. But Daniel will slowly come to realize that such freedom comes at a price...

    This book was a good read. I read some other reviews where everyone was complaining that it definitely does not fall under YA novel and I can see why after reading it. I really enjoyed it, but there were some parts that left me wondering what if I had a 15 year old reading this book? But then I remembered how in this day and age teenagers talk and act the way Misty and Daniel did in the book. It's sad, but it is happening.I think that is what I liked about the book the most. It felt real and like an everyday teen going through her changes. It was easy to like the characters and feel for them.Daniel is your popular jock going away to a good school and Misty is your "hoodrat" who really does not have any plans and handles life and its challenges as they come day by day. Daniel falls for bad girl and bad girl falls for good guy. On top of all that Misty is half black and that is an issue to some. It was also a very different take on werewolves and very unique. I give this book four stars and would read part 2 if there was one. :-) A good read.

    Unleashed by Kristopher Reisz takes a very interesting spin on the mythology of werewolves in the modern environment. Within its pages the author he explores the complexities of teen peer pressure with an interesting twist of lycanthropy. Instead of a curse, the characters are able to turn into actual wolves from eating mushrooms found in an abandoned factory. The city they live in is seemingly rotting away and decaying from the “rot-eater god” of the mushrooms. Within the book there is much conflict between wildness and civilization. The author does tend to really dismiss all other characters as shallow, boring, and tame compared to the main characters which I think hurt the story and made to one sided, but ther than that the book was a pretty good read over all. An interesting twist for a werewolf tale.
