FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Illustrated by hot new talent Ming Doyle, Cynthia Leitich Smith's Tantalize is reimagined as a graphic novel - seen through Kieren's werewolf eyes. As a hybrid werewolf, Kieren is destined to join an urban Wolf pack and learn to master his shift. Soon he'll leave everything behind: home, school, his family, and Quincie, his human best friend ...who's beginning to be a whole lot more than a friend. For years, Kieren has managed to keep his desires - and his wolf - at bay. But when the chef at Quincie's family restaurant is brutally murdered, Kieren resolves to be there for her, even if it means being framed or watching Quincie's beloved restaurant morph into a vampire lair. But when the new chef begins wooing her, how long can Kieren control his claws? How long can he protect Quincie - and himself? In an elegant graphic edition featuring cinematic sequential art and lush, romantic cover art, best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith re-envisions her delicious dark fantasy through wolfish eyes.

Review

This is the graphic novel version of TANTALIZE so it's a book that might appeal to reluctant readers and to people who really are visual thinkers. It's gothic, it's dark. But it also has humor. There's romance, very sweet romance, and there's controversy and there's justice issues and bad boys don't always get away, but you're not quite sure.--NPR Tell Me More This format- and genre-blending story delivers on several counts as a vampire-werewolf adventure, a mystery, a romance with teeth and claws, an authentic look at diversity (both ethnic and species), and a darn good read.--Booklist Leitich Smith, who first published TANTALIZE as a young adult novel, provides a face-paced, twisty, enjoyable ride and compelling characters who develop as the story unfolds. Doyle's illustrations capture the intensity of the emotions between the star-crossed couple.--Publishers Weekly
