Description
Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet, fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf. At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in desarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf?
Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He's fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder at her dual nature, not fear her as an ordinary human would.
Vivian's divided loyalties are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack. Moving between two worlds, she does not seem to belong in either. What is she really - human or beast? Which tastes sweeter - blood or chocolate?

Review
This book was a great read! It really gives you such vivid details into what the main character, Vivian, is feeling and thinking. The book is very intense and keeps you guessing and hoping that everything works out for the best the whole way through, right to the very end. And what happens at the end, you could never have predicted.
And for those who think that watching the movie will give the same story, they are terribly mistaken. The movie does not even compare to the book and everything in it is all wrong. Nothing matches up to the novel. I'm surprised that Annette Curtis Klause let them call that movie Blood and Chocolate.
In conclusion, the book was an amazing read (although it is not suitable for younger readers due to some graphic and sexual scenes) and the movie is good on its own, but not compared to the novel. So always read the book first!
