Need / Carrie Jones / 306 pages / Frist Book in a Series

Zara is sent to Maine to live with her grandmother.  She has been depressed since the death of her stepfather and her mom thought a change of scene might snap her out of it and cause her to begin living again...And she does...It's just very different from the life she lived before.  The hotty, Nick Holt, at her new school is a werewolf.  Her grandmother is a were tiger, and she (Zara) is a being stalked by a pixie king.  Zara's quick thinking and problem solving abilities enable her to imprison the pixies and the pixie king, save her mother and her sixty-five year old marathon running EMT grandmother, and Nick...

Okay, the pixie angle/fantasy was a bit hard to accept, but the story is well-grounded and believable despite this.  If you are a reader of fiction you have to be prepared to suspend your disbelief.  This book gives the reader ample opportunity to do this.  The book causes chuckles, smiles, and a feel good feelings throughout.
