Wolf's Bane is the first book of duology focusing on the next generation of supernaturals, specifically Kate and Logan, the children of werewolf alpha Elena and her husband Clayton Danvers. Now teenagers, Kate and Logan are sent off to supernatural summer camp. In theory a supernatural camp is a great idea. Traditionally the supernatural races of werewolves, vampires, witches, sorcerers, demons, necromancers, and others have stayed far apart from one another. In fact, for a long time some didn't know the others existed. In theory camp gives the kids a chance to meet and make friends with other supernaturals and not hide who they are the way they have to do with regular humans. Even if they don't become bosom buddies it would give them a chance to build bonds and open the lines of communication between the races.But this is the Otherworld so of course nothing goes as planned. Something or someone is amping up everyone's emotions, especially their rage. Instead of making friends and building bonds everyone either wants to make out or fight. In the middle of all this there is sibling drama. For most of their lives Kate and Logan have been super close and not they find themselves drifting apart. Both of the twins missed the bond they used to share and neither is quite sure what to do about it. Still they love each other and have each other's back even as they struggle to articulate words to explain what they're feeling. In addition to their sibling issues, the twins and other teens deal with regular teenage problems like dealing with the pressure to have sex, figuring out one's sexuality and dealing with a culture that may have a problem with one's sexuality, mean girls, and bullying. It's a delicious mix of mystery, the supernatural, family drama, and teen drama.
I loved this. I really hope Armstrong writes more books in the series about Kate, Logan, and other kids in the Otherworld series.
