Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. HTML:One stupid party. One stupid boy. One stupid kiss. And my life was virtually over.
Tessa McCaide has a unique talent for getting into trouble. Then again, it isn't easy for a girl with psychic visions to ignore what she sees. Luckily Tessa and her family are leaving California and moving halfway across the country, giving her the perfect opportunity to leave her reputation as "Freaky Tessa" behind.
But Tessa doesn't realize that kissing the wrong guy in her new Texas town could land her in far more trouble than she ever imagined. Like being forced to attend St. Ailbe's Academy, a secret boarding school for werewolves.
Even if the wrong guy did accidentally turn her into a shapeshifter and doom her to attending the weirdest high school ever, Tessa can't help her growing attraction to the mysterious Dastien Laurent.
When vampires attack St. Ailbe's and her visions pinpoint an enemy in their midst, Tessa realizes that boy drama and her newfound canine tendencies might just be the least of her problems.

Love this book. Would read series again ( )

Publicado originalmente: El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Me gusta recomendar libros, aunque con la fantasía y paranormal (nunca sé como clasificarlos) tengo cierta cosilla por no hacerlo, no a todos nos gusta lo mismo y estos géneros es un poco más difícil. Pero con Becoming Alpha tengo que hacerlo, simplemente no puedo fangirlear sola. Claro, siempre y cuando se mantengan alejadas de Dastien todo estará bien. Nadie saldrá mordido.

Como habrán sospechado el libro me encantó, es cómico, ágil, buena narración personajes bastante buenos. Es un libro ligero, sí, pero eso no le quita ningún tipo de crédito, es bueno, te lo lees en dos tardes y necesitarás el siguiente.

Ya dije que los personajes me gustaron, amé a la protagonista, es un poquito fastidiosa a veces, la verdad es histérica en algunos momentos, pero de una manera cómica, le cae un tonelada de rocas encima y encuentra la manera de, no buscarle el lado bueno, pero sí una broma de eso. Tiene un sentido del humor un tanto negro. Lo que me gustó también fue que ella ha sido rechazada toda su vida, llamada "Freaky Tessa" por sus visiones y en lugar de volverla emo, la volvió un poco descarada. Tengo debilidad por las protagonistas descaradas, creo que es porque soy muy tímida. Eso no quiere decir que no tiene su lado vulnerable, al contrario, ella lo reconoce. Tessa es uno de esos personajes que tiene defectos y puede caer mal a los que buscan protagonistas que todo el tiempo se victimizan o que lo único importante es tener al chico, en una parte Tessa se burla de eso, a su manera sarcástica, me encantó.

Ahora Dastien. *suspiro* Por lo general este tipo de libros, el que se lleva todo la gloria es casi siempre el chico sexy, a la protagonista a veces ni la notamos. Dastien Laurent es una gran, ENORME motivación para leer Becoming Alpha. Soy una persona de gatos y de vampiros, pero siempre reconoceré que los hombres lobo de vez en cuando me tienen babeando. Es que mientras los vampiros están como "Aléjate-de-mi-que-soy-malo-malote-y-arruinaré-tu-vida-yo-lo-sé", los hombres lobos están "LET-ME-LOVE-YOU---LET-ME-LOVE-YOU"

Y esas son cosas superficiales del libro, hay mucho, mucho más entre sus páginas, magia, vampiros, muertes... Y rock.

Me encantó todo del libro, soy una fangirl total ahora mismo, lo malo es que tengo que esperar hasta Mayo del próximo año para su continuación. Espero que lo lean y les guste tanto como a mí, vengan a contarme y fangirleemos.

The beginning had me asking more questions than I like, but even though nothing was really explained I began to understand everything. The "twist" was one that I didn't see coming and while Tessa was a little to whiney for my taste I could understand why she was that way. Over all this was a good read and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. ( )

3.5/5 stars.

I got a kick out of this book. The basic premise is that Tessa is bitten--and changed--against her will. Suddenly werewolf. And there's an entire world of things for her to learn and she can do that learning at the local werewolf boarding school. (*ding* That was the sound of this book using one of my favorite tropes, that of the wacky boarding school. This book also has a huge found-family aspect, which I love, love, love.) Then there's this whole bit with soulbonds and mates. (To which Tessa says 'euw, don't use that word,' making me love her more.)

But the best part of this book is Tessa. She was--and still is--a witch, and now she's a were, and she's overwhelmed by her new powers but also intrigued. She wants to run away and go home, but she also realizes she has to learn to control her new wolfy abilities. Plus, it may be a wacky boarding school but it's still a high school and she has a lot to deal with as the new girl. I loved how she learned about her new powers, tested them, and then used them, sometimes to save the world and sometimes in lunchroom staredowns.

I'm so ready for the next book!

Another book I started because of the Clean Sweep game I’m participating in on Goodreads. This book was free for the kindle on amazon (still is!) and I have to say I enjoyed it! It’s definitely an urban fantasy with the whole werewolf, vampires, and witches.

I don’t know what to say about this book without giving away parts but this was a fun read. This would be a great book to bite into when you are not sure what to pick up next, I found Tessa to be wonderful, she’s very stubborn and an easy person to connect with. It’s very high school but Aileen does a wonderful job layering in the supernatural aspect and even makes a few geeky references.

I also really enjoy the dynamics between all the characters and excited to learn more about them. I also love her description of vampires, they sound terrible and gross and nothing like the sparkly beautiful creatures we have grown accustom to.

I am in the middle of the second book now and can’t wait to see what happens next.

Side Note: I’m curious on if this would fall under an “Own Voices” book. ( )
