From Goodreads: “Fourteen-year-old Trey Laporte is not a kid anymore. Not after the day he wakes up in agony—retina-splitting, vomit-inducing agony. His clothes are torn. His room is trashed.  Enter Lucien Charron, the mysterious, long-lost “uncle” with freakish fire-flecked eyes and skin that blisters in the sun. Suddenly, Trey finds himself living in a luxury penthouse at the heart of a strange and sinister empire built on the powers of the Netherworld—vampires, demons, sorcerers, and djinn. And there is a girl—Alexa Charron—who is half vampire, half human, and insanely pretty, with powers all of her own. Trey is falling for her. Trey is training night and day to control the newly discovered power lurking inside him. Now, demons are closing in on every side, and the most psychopathic bloodsucker to rock the Netherworld wants to destroy him. Above all, he must face one terrifying question: Is he a boy… or is he a beast?”

Well, I thought this was going to be a great read, but I wasn’t too impressed.  A lot of the elements in the story were very predictable, and I didn’t find myself enthralled with the story.  I fell asleep once… and I really had to fight myself to finish reading the book.  I didn’t hate it; I just wasn’t interested.  With all the stories now out there with werewolves and vampires, Wereling would have had to be one heck of a story to grab my attention.  Instead, it’s just very generic novel–it will easily blend into the background with other werewolf stories and be forgotten.  Now, it is fast paced, and the story does move quickly, but I just couldn’t get into it.  I also had an issue with the dialogue… it just seemed very fake to me.  At some points I thought the dialogue was actually much too proper, but perhaps that’s just me.  Two stars.
