Shelby is a young teenager, experiencing her first crushes and getting to know boys. Thing is, she has the step-mother from hell who overreacts when she catches Shelby on the porch, just about to kiss her newest crush. This is when the hammer is dropped and Shelby is being shipped off to ‘Brat Camp’. Things look really grim until she meets Austin Bridges III. He’s the son of a rock star who has a really big secret. It starts with the camp staff finding vials of something in his bag which gets confiscated. Austin needs this ‘medicine’ desperately. If he doesn’t get it, then he will have to get out of the camp at full moon, before something terrible happens, and he needs Shelby’s help.
This is a story about young adults, for young adults and I found this story very entertaining. I enjoyed the characters, the plot and I could feel for the plight of Shelby and Austin. I did feel that the step-mother was a little over the top, but then I am sure that there are such people out there who are really strict and ready to pack off their kids to such camps for such minor misdemeanors. Kids are kids after all. I also read this story very quickly and did feel that it could have been fleshed out a bit more, but probably, for a young adult, this wouldn’t be a problem. I think Heather Davis has written a good, captivating story that lovers of the paranormal will highly enjoy.
