13 to Life (13 to Life Series #1)

13 to Life - Shannon Delany There have been a lot of young adult werewolf debuts this year, and unfortunately I have to say that this has been my least favorite so far. It wasn't a bad read by any means, but it just doesn't quite measure up to the rest of the pack (ha, get it? the pack), in my opinion.Most of the novel seemed to be build up, which does suggest that the next book in the series has potential to be much more fast paced and action packed. The fact that most of the book is character driven means that there is more room for development then in some novels. However, I never found myself really connecting with any of the characters. Jess, the MC, is a really strong character though. I can always appreciate a tough female lead.Even though the novel is based around werewolves, that portion of the story remains mostly in the background. That didn't bother me: the way the world is set up is pretty interesting, and again, I'm sure they will be featured more in later books of the series. So, even though the book fell a little flat for me, it is a very quick read. Most people seem to like it a lot more than me, so I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts!
