Blood and Chocolate

Title: Blood and Chocolate
Author: Annette Curtis Klause

What is going on? Why so silent? I can even hear heartbeats pumping. Uh, I noe how's everyone's bz...so, I decided to make a review, of Blood and Chocolate. By the way, the movie is now filming...so...it better be good, cuz I like the plot and the characters grew onto me.

Okay, so actually, the story is about a 16-year-old lass named Vivian Gandillon. If you think that she's an ordinary gal with high school problems, think again. Vivian is, actually a part of a pack of werewolves , or in this case, the Loup-Garous. Her late father was the leader of the pack, and with her father dead, she was lost and torn between her loyalty to her pack, or her love for a meat boy.

In this case, she fell in love with a normal human being, her schoolmate, a boy named Aiden. The boy didn't have the slightest idea that she was actually hiding a very huge secret from him. And at most times, she had the urges to reveal her true self to Aiden, but felt insecure whether he would accept her as she is or not. Especially, when there are murders of innocent people caused by members of Vivian's pack.

Problems also occur among the wolves in Vivian's pack -- eg; the rivalry between Vivian's mom, Esmé, and another she-wolf, Astrid. The reason? A handsome, young, 24-year-old werewolf named Gabriel. And there's The Five, the notorious group who are known to cause havoc around town, especially when one of them is trying to woo Vivian for himself. But Vivian kept pushing those guys away, because she wanted to choose her own mate. And she's very keen about having Aiden as her mate. Which of course, her family didn't really approve.

There are a few slip-ups in Vivian's world that may lead to several unexpected events. So, will Aiden and Vivian's love prevail? Who's the werewolf that is doing all the killing? Will she reveal herself to Aiden? If she does, would Aiden accept her? What shall happen to Astrid, Esmé, and Gabriel? And who would Vivian choose at last, a human, or one of her own? Would she choose blood, or chocolate?

Read this one. It's not too long, not too short, just perfect. Loved it. Now, I just wanna see the casting. I'm eager to know the cast. Because if it ain't ryte, the movie's gonna suck. Which I highly hope not. *Crosses finger*

Not to get your hopes down, but if i'm not mistaken the movie is only an 'adaptation' of the novel, with the fact that Viv and Aid may not be high school kids, but adults. I'm not too sure about this, however. Keep an eye on IMDB.com until we can get further details.
