Where There's A Wolf, There's A Way by Lisi Harrison

Where There's A Wolf, There's A Way by Lisi Harrison ☆☆☆

I gave the first two books of the series a higher score. While I did find most of the story trivial, it was a fun, mindless read. These books came in handy after reading especially soul-crushing books where I needed a mental vacation in literature. Having borrowed this book months ago, I decided to finally read it after Hunger Games and it took me forever to get through this.

My main problem with the first book grew exponentially in this one. I do not like brands, or name brands. This series is all about being "new" and "hip" so it constantly throws out information about the latest "hit" songs, the UGG boots, and every clothing label or accessory label known to man. That gives me a headache. And while it might be fun for pre-teen label queens in the making, what impact would the book have ten years from now on the next generation? None that I can see.

It still has great characters and there are some interesting developments about them that rap up from the second book, but I don't think I could read a 4th book when they decide to put one out. I love the characters and I like seeing them in book form battling societal norms rather than short cartoons online, but this book just lost the momentum for me. It'd problem get 2 stars if I didn't love the characters.
