Red Wolf by Rachel Vincent

3.0

Adele and her mother visit her grandmother every month on the night of the full moon. Her grandmother lives in the dark woods - travel requires quick steps, bright lanterns and a sense of urgency.
Her mother is too busy with Adele's best friend's engagement party baking order - Adele braves the woods on her own for the first time. The woods have called to Adele since she was a young girl. This night just amplifies the voice - Adele ascends to her destiny as a Guardian.
And soon meets her betrothed.
Adele and Grainger have been in love since childhood, making plans with their friends for a cottage near each other, raising families. But Grainger is a member of the Watch - those who maintain the dark woods border, keep the lanterns lit - the Guardians natural enemy.
Will Adele forsake her betrothal? Or will Maxime prove himself worthy?
The ending was pretty abrupt, tying everything so nicely together. I'm guessing there will be another book - it just felt very quick and tidy.
