This is probably among the best of the free werewolf ebooks I picked up like a decade ago. It's not an amazing book in the sense it doesn't do anything particularly unique or special, but it is a book I enjoy every time I reread it. Rylie isn't even that bad of a teenage main character, which may be because she very quickly has other things to worry about besides her parents' divorce and how the other girls at camp treat her. I do feel like every time I reread this book, I like Seth a little bit less. I'm not entirely sure why, but the fact he waited until the last minute to be completely truthful with Rylie and his general hypocritical, almost naivety does bother me a bit. Regardless, always a fun read that just sucks me in from the first few pages.
