Review: (Un)Bidden by Melissa Haag

Image & Description from goodreads.com

I left home because I didn’t want to end up in a cage like a lab rat. Hitching rides, begging for cash, and sleeping on the ground got old fast. That was the only reason I braved an overgrown path to a group of buildings. I’d hoped to find a bed and a decent night’s sleep. However, what I found was a place overrun by werewolves.


While on the run, Charlene finds herself surrounded by werewolves, creatures she can’t control with her mind like she can humans. Their existence has her believing she’s found a safe place to stay, a place where secrets are okay. However, she soon discovers she’s anything but safe. Charlene must learn how to use her abilities to influence the strange new species because if she can’t, the next bite she suffers might just kill her.


Read how the cycle begins, and have no doubt. Charlene’s past will shape the future of the Judgements.

My Thoughts:
This is my favorite book so far in the series.  It tells the back story of Charlene & how she came to be with Thomas.  I really enjoyed learning how the compound came to be and the good things Charlene did to help the wolves.  You can also see in hind sight that the Urbat were already in the picture waiting to make their move.  Charlene sure was wise for her young age.  She made choices to help others before herself when most teenagers wouldn't be able to do as much.  I really love this series & I can't wait to get to the next book.

Recommended for 15 & up.  Mild sexual content & adult situations.
