Blood and Chocolate

By: Annette Klause

Narrated by: Alyssa Bresnahan

Vivian Gandalon is a teen-aged werewolf with problems. Her father, the pack leader, was killed in a fire, and so the pack is in disarray. The young male members of the squabbling pack howl for her, but still she feels alienated and alone. To be more than human is a lonely thing. Vivian longs to have friends and fit in at school. She yearns to escape her legacy of violence and forbidden appetites, but the beast within her longs for something elementally deep and rich. She glories in her ability to change from woman to wolf. How can she choose between being human or beast? She fiercely hopes that her relationship with a kind and sensitive meat-boy, a human, will help her find some answers. Talented narrator Alyssa Bresnahan casts a spell over listeners as she becomes the beautiful and sensuous young werewolf princess. This suspenseful, haunting, and magical tale is best read by the light of the full moon.

can't say enough about this book

I fell in love with this book when I was in middle school and throughout the years have read it over and over again. I love the turmoil that Vivian's life becomes. Teenage hormones, the loss of her father- the pack alpha, and her pack having to deal with the fall out of loosing so many and moving.
I sometimes wish there was more added to the ending of the book- what happens next with the pack and Vivian's love life. (Need an adult version and YA friendly version 🤣)
The narration for me fell a little short. Narrator did a good job- but sometimes she made Vivian sound like a complete brat- and others Gabriel sounded like a preteen boy. Other than that I enjoyed her work.

blood & chocolate

good listening, easy to follow along. would recommend if your in to ware wolf's or things like that.

Blood and chocolate

I really love blood and chocolate. This has been one of my favorite stories forever. I do not however like the narrator. Horrible performance. Seriously dreadful.

Best Intro to Paranormal Fantasy

This book was my introduction to paranormal fantasy. I first read it about 15 years ago in high-school, I still love it now. World building is simple, and deeper character development is focused almost solely on Vivian. The elegance of this book is the author's ability to balence the feral horror and primal beauty of werewolf nature.

Fantastic!

Fantastic story, I was in the mood for a werewolf story and this was perfect! Narration was great!
