The Wereling by Steve FeaseySummary: Fourteen-year-old Trey Laporte is not a kid anymore. Not after the day he wakes up in agony—retina-splitting, vomit-inducing agony. His clothes are torn. His room is trashed.
Enter Lucien Charron, the mysterious, long-lost “uncle” with freakish fire-flecked eyes and skin that blisters in the sun. Suddenly, Trey finds himself living in a luxury penthouse at the heart of a strange and sinister empire built on the powers of the Netherworld—vampires, demons, sorcerers, and djinn.
And there is a girl—Alexa Charron—who is half vampire, half human, and insanely pretty, with powers all of her own. Trey is falling for her.
Trey is training night and day to control the newly discovered power lurking inside him. Now, demons are closing in on every side, and the most psychopathic bloodsucker to rock the Netherworld wants to destroy him. Above all, he must face one terrifying question:
Is he a boy . . . or is he a beast?
Comments: I'm not really a fan of always reading a teen boy's POV... and I never search for it. Surprisingly, this book kept my attention. This book reminded me that trying something different often ends up being a great idea! There is a great cast of characters, my favorite was Lucien. Not knowing if his intentions were good or bad... or how dark his past really is kept me intrigued. Not to mention I wanted to know if and when things would develop with Trey & Alexa beyond a friendship - this book was not a romance... but I sure wanted to see if it would turn into love! I can't wait to see this book turn itself into a series - I still have so many questions that were not answered by the end of the book! It was addictive!
