So, I mostly liked Nightshade, but there were a couple of things about it that bothered me. But I thought the writing was good, so I was very interested to pick up Wolfsbane.

What Andrea Cremer did here was take everything I disliked about Nightshade, multiplied it by 50, and made a book out if it, adding in some new annoyances while she was at it.

Calla really isn't a strong, admirable character anymore. She's an idiot that never learns any lessons from any of her life experiences. Shay is no longer a mildly annoying character who I didn't connect with. He's a misogynistic jerk that I hate, even though I can tell the author wants me to love and root for him. And she must have thought there were too many readers who liked Ren, and she's all "no, reader, that's not how you're supposed to feel about these characters--it's Shay you like, SHAY", so she tried to make sure of that by making Ren in his tiny, tiny bit of "screen time" into an even bigger jerk than Shay, if that's possible.

With all that said, I read this in a day, so it was a quick read and not a total waste, hence the two stars.
