Yet, when she goes to Wolf Springs, we do not hear another word about Katelyn’s sport. I was excited by the prospect of a character with a hobby. At the beginning ofÂ Unleashed, Katelyn is a gymnast and she’s very dedicated to her sport and to excelling. When the book opens, she’s actually quite interesting, so much so that it seems like her potential was squandered. Unfortunately Katelyn is not a very compelling heroine. Chances are that you as the reader can easily guess the secrets as it shows you right on the cover and also you can infer it from the name of the town.Â While the plot summary ofÂ Unleashed is interesting, it’s a rather long and drawn out book that upon closing left me feeling as though nothing had really happened. Turns out, Wolf Springs is a town of many secrets. She’s not even allowed to go outside when it’s dark out. Yet, there’s something strange about Katelyn’s new digs. She even manages to make friends with this Russian guy who goes by Trick and a girl named Cordelia, who also has a lot on her plate. However, Wolf Springs isn’t quite so bad and isolated as it seems.

Katelyn is then uprooted from everything she knows in LA and sent to live with her grandfather in Wolf Springs, Arkansas, right by the Ozark Mountains. Katelyn McBride’s mother dies during an earthquake. Unfortunately,Â Unleashed failed to deliver on that front, which is unfortunate because I really liked the previous book I had read by this author duo,Â Crusade. I came intoÂ Unleashed by Nancy Holder and DebbieÂ ViguiÃ© with a few expectations - namely that it would be an absorbing, darkly romantic sort of read. While I tend more toward vampires than werewolves, I still love reading books about paranormal creatures that live right under our noses. Reader friends, I actually still really like paranormal books even though the trend is over.
