Thank you Scholastic for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
Everyone knows the characters from Riverdale: popular Archie Andrews, girl-next-door Betty Cooper, angsty Jughead Jones, and the sophisticated Veronica Lodge. But this is not the Riverdale you know and love. Something twisted has awoken in the town with pep. Inspired by the iconic Archie Horror comics, this reimagined universe takes the grittiness of the TV show and adds a paranormal twist.
Someone is killing the citizens of Riverdale. And after a bloody full moon, Jughead realizes he is the killer! Jughead is a werewolf. Can he keep this secret from his friends — including werewolf-hunting Betty Cooper? Jughead has to get his dark side under control — before it is controlling him
Review:
Okay. First things first. Can we please acknowledge that we need more werewolf books out there? We cannot let any generation’s first thought be of Jacob and his buddies from Twilight when the word ‘werewolf’ is mentioned. Not only is that thought depressing but also HIGHLY disturbing. So bring on all the bigger and better werewolf books!
*cough* Getting back into this one without any further side traction. While we all know that Riverdale pretends to be this quiet little town where nothing is going on but we all know the fictional reality is far from it.
Jughead wakes up covered in blood and throughout the course of the day realises the truth behind where the blood came from. And as the story progresses he begins to learn the truth.
I loved this spin offs to Riverdale that have a dark edge on them! They are interesting, brilliant and creepy and I am all here for it, just could have thought there could have been a little more depth to the story!!!
