The novel starts out with two sisters, Rosie and Scarlet, as young girls at their grandmother's house. Their grandmother is attacked and killed by a Fenris (which is like a werewolf). The Fenris comes into the room to attack the girls, but Scarlet (the older sister) fights him off. But not before the beast scars her up pretty good and takes her eye.
The years pass and Scarlet has dedicated her life to fighting Fenris. She's determined that no others shall suffer because of them and that if she can kill them, that she will. Rosie, however, wants to hunt too. Scarlet isn't too keen on the idea. Rosie is her little sister, she doesn't want to put her in danger. But she promises to let her try. Scarlet's friend, and old hunting buddy, Silas is back in town and is hunting with them again. The number of Fenris in their area is increasing, and they all want to know why.
They discover that this year is the year of the Potential - a human that has the potential to become a Fenris if another Fenris gets hold of them. The trio wants to find this potential to save him from the life of a Fenris and also in hopes of luring a considerable amount of Fenris to their death. Rosie's a team player, but ever since she was little, their life has always been about the hunt. Rosie doesn't like hunting as much as Scarlet does, and she wants to do other things. She wants to be normal. She wants to paint, or dance, or do whatever appeals to her. She doesn't want to hunt - but she doesn't want to let her sister down either.
This novel is about the struggle of staying loyal to the sister that saved your life, being a good friend to the man who wants to let you live your life, and staying true to yourself. Balancing sisterly love and the love - or is it love? - of a man has never been harder.
I rate this book 5/5 stars.
