Life is strange and difficult for the granddaughter of a shaman. Sixteen-year-old Talisa Santiago was born in the desert underneath the full moon in January-the wolf moon. However, she left the desert with her mother when she was a young girl. She remembers bits and pieces of her past but it isn't until she and her mom move to a remote barrier island off the coast of North Carolina that she feels fate has finally called-secretive and mysterious he stands alone on the edge of the bank.Her friends tell her to stay away; she hears rumors that he is dangerous. Still, she can't resist. Whether Talisa realizes it or not, she knows a thing or two about boys like Jag Chavez. Fate is funny that way. For the first time in her life, Talisa meets kids just like her-Native Americans who know the ways of the spirit. The closer she gets to Jag, the more she realizes he is hiding a dark secret. He may have the markings of the Thunderbird, but he is named for the powerful Jaguar. Together they embark on a journey that will haunt her forever.
My Review
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love love love this series! Jamie Haden is a full on magnificent writer! and I can't thank you enough for this series. Being from a native american family the stories the culture and the art have been a big thing in my life and this series brings it all out to play. shape-shifting lore goes back many many centuries in native american cultures and has always been one of my most favourite of all native stories.
I really enjoyed all the different angles the story portrayed as well jumping around from different legends and stories and not centring on just one group or people. I loved the fact that it was a school as well where they all learned and interacted with each other and ever year they held their very own pow wow! that would be the the best!
each and every one of the characters were amazing and I couldn't put the book down for a second! I could literally go on and on about this series all day long! My fav character in this one was Jax, he is so mysterious, sexy and way complicated. You can tell that beneath his hard shell though is the heart of a wounded boy who is crying out for someone to see him as worthy and to love him.
you so don't want to miss out on this book or this series! I so can't wait for more! TBR today!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
if I could I would give this book more then 5 stars! I would give it 10! or 100! this second book was even better then the first. Jamie Haden is incredibly amazing! she blows us all away with her amazing talent! I would have to say this is the best series I have read this year!
Talisa goes off to a secret native american tribe for her own safety in this one. the stories and the realism are astounding, the people beautiful and inspiring and more then one time I found myself laughing, crying and frightened at the many twists and turns throughout the story.
The people were so much of a family in this one were they were just friends in the first. They came to learn about and love one another as if they had been together from birth. My favourite character in this one was Dakota. He was so sexy, loving, gentle, and sweet.
You don't wan't to miss out on this series! make sure to TBR today!
