Synopsis/Description: Beware of a kiss under the full moon. It will change your life forever.

Celeste Parker is used to hearing scary stories about werewolves—Legend's Run is famous for them. She's used to everything in the small town until Brandon Maddox moves to Legend's Run and Celeste finds herself immediately drawn to the handsome new student. But when, after an unnerving visit with a psychic, she encounters a pack of wolves and gorgeous, enigmatic Brandon, she must discover whether his transformation is more than legend or just a trick of the shadows in the moonlight.

Her best friends may never forgive her if she gives up her perfect boyfriend, Nash, for Brandon, who's from the wrong side of town. But she can't deny her attraction or the strong pull he has on her. Brandon may be Celeste's hero, or he may be the most dangerous creature she could encounter in the woods of Legend's Run.

Psychic predictions, generations-old secrets, a town divided, and the possibility of falling in love with a hot and heroic werewolf are the perfect formula for what happens . . . once in a full moon.
First line of Book:It began underneath the haunting glow of a full moon.

Review:In case you don't know, I really like the Vampire Kisses series, I think it's really cool. So I was expecting a bit more of this book. I was really disappointed.
Celeste was kind of a likable character- with that I mean that I really liked her in the beginning (she's a good person) but then she became incredibly obnoxious (with that I mean that her goody-goody attitude became too much and that she became one of those girls who is dependent of her boyfriend), I even got to the point of reading her name and asking myself Uh, who is this girl and what the hell is she doing here? so, yeah, it was THAT bad.
I didn't get Brandon. I mean, they hardly know each other and they're kissing already and he saves her life and then what? It seemed to me he was just there to be the Knight in Shiny Armour or something. Flat, flat, flat.
Now, Nash. Okay, so imagine a good-looking immature boy. Yes, that's it. Now wipe out almost every other aspect of his personality except his lack of immaturity and some kind of sick determination to get what he wants and voilà, you get Nash! Doesn't sound very appealing, does it?
However, I do admit that it is a light and sometimes funny read, and I really liked Mr Worthington and his werewolf stories.
