Shanghai Girls by Lisa See


















For an instant I'm thrown back in time to our kitchen in Shanghai when Cook tried to teach us how to make dumplings. It had started out as something fun for May and me to do and had ended in a terrible fight.

Author Overview - Ireland has many secrets... this is one of them.

After an incredibly boring summer, Abel Casey was looking forward to his junior year at Piedsville High School in his little town outside of Oklahoma City. But once he sees Pru Phelan, the gorgeous girl with the shiny red hair and piercing grey eyes he knows he is in for trouble. Abel’s boring little life is about to come to an end if Pru has her way. The stunning Pru has a secret to share with Abe, one that will change his life forever. Up until recently werewolf packs have been looking for the Great Wolf, a wolf of legend handed down over hundreds of years from Kilkenny Ireland. Her secret is she is a werewolf, and her secret is now his too. Abel learns that all the tales of werewolves and vampires is real and he is the wolf they have been searching for. To protect his destiny and his family the pack begins training him for his first shift, without a hold on to his humanity can cause him to shift to a werewolf and never return to his human form.

Abel is torn between the family he has grown up with and the pack that claims he is the one of Celtic lore. Pru’s mentor and bodyguard Oakley is the one that her heart craves but she fears he has feelings for her friend Josie. Pru’s father the alpha wants her to stay focused on her assignment and forbids the two from becoming lovers and he threatens to remove Oakley from the pack if Pru can’t stay focused. Everything is going as planned until Abel’s sassy and moody sister Allie starts hanging out with an aggravating vampire Arien. Arien knows the pack’s secret and plans to expose them if he doesn’t get his way. This story of friendship, family, love and betrayal will leave the reader breathless and someone dead. 

The Legacy of Kilkenny an incredible journey for these young adults. The reader will be drawn into this romantic yet invigorating story of friends and lovers. The prophecy has been stated, now it will be lived.


My review - I was hooked from the start when I read The Legacy of Kilkenny (TLOK). Most teenagers think that they have a lot on their plate during high school, they haven't met Abel Casey yet. TLOK is written in both Abel and Pru's point of view which I felt gave it an extra edge. I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter to see what the other person was going to talk about. Even at the point of completing the book I wanted more, more, more! Devyn definitely left the book open to build off of in her series. I loved the characters so much, I don't think I could pick a favorite... although what is not to love about Oakley! It was so fun to learn about Abel from the beginning pages and watch him grow into a strong and confident person by the end. He has a lot of grown up decisions to make that will affect the rest of his life, as well as the lives of those around him. There was drama, evilness, sadness, comedy and love... and you can feel all those emotions pouring out of this book.
