Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The first book of a thrilling supernatural romance series about a teenage girl who defies the laws of the wolf pack in pursuit of true love.
“A glittering, dark gem.” —Cynthia Leitich Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Eternal
A wolf pack divided. A heart torn in two. How will Calla ever choose?
Calla Tor is the alpha female of a shape-shifting wolf pack. She is destined to marry Ren Laroche, the pack’s alpha male. Together, they would rule their pack, guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when Calla saves a beautiful human boy who captures her heart, she begins to question everything she’s ever known about her world—her fate, her existence, and the orders the Keepers have asked her to follow. With her wolf pack divided, Calla knows she will have to make a choice. But will she follow her heart if it means losing everything, including her own life?
Nightshade tells a dark and intimate tale of power, destiny, and identity that begs the question: is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

Must read
5By RJBOMSLove it one of my favorite booksLove it
5By IceFire86I couldn't put the book down I got so into it. I can it wait to finish the series.Shay Haters
5By AaronpgThis book is incredible to read and an amazing blend between wolves and magic. All those who give the book a two star or below rating because of Shay is just ridiculous. You can't base a book on its cover and especially on one character as well. To you haters I am saddened that you would give this book a low rating based on your views. If anything it deserves a four star review just because the book made you hate a character which is what a book is supposed to do. It's supposed to captivate you into the world of the Keepers but instead you were disappointed in a single character. Disappointing. BUY THE BOOK!Excellent book!
5By PurdyberryI loved the story from the first page. The desire and passion that Calla had for Shay and Ren kept me from closing this book until I finished it. Destined with Ren, however the desire to have Shay put Calla in a interesting love triangle. Loved the pack, and the loyalty they had for the alphas. Definitely a book worth reading, so much passion, thrilling wolf fights, and unanswered questions to the traditions will keep you from putting this book down.Amazing
5By Poppers 2zI absolutely love everything about this book! I think it's written perfectly! A lot of you are hating on shay. But I think Ren was being really protective and kind of a jerk. I personally really like shay. And this book is amazing! I'm obsessed with wolves and I've read many werewolf books. And this is one of my favorites! I would love to see this book as a movie! I really think it could make a good excited romance action movie. Perfect for everyone. This book is a MUST READ!!!!Wow
5By BookonahookmasterThis book wows me can't wait to read book 2Nighstade
5By OzzyOsbourne's#1fanI love this book! 💛💓💙💕💜💖💚💞💗💚 Team Shay forever!It's okay...
2By Tootsietini4The only reason I gave this two stars was because I really liked Calla's fearless personality, and I loved Ren. But when Shay comes in... it completely ruined the book. It could have been a great book...if Shay hadn't been in it.Kinda great
4By Rens one and onlyI liked the book but shay really upset me because it trough calla off the idea of ren and gettin married or as in the book getting“union". Other than that it was good.<3
5By MadirosegirlVery good and interesting book. The only thing that I don't really like is the love triangle but that makes things interesting. *wink wink* I also love how they change into wolves (too cool) and ik it's pointless to choose 'teams' but if I were to, I would choose Shay <3Best book ever!!!
5By Gabrielle PadovaniI'm serious!TEAM SHAY!!!
5By Llama1313I really love this book, but the thing that bothers me is Ren. He is sooo territorial and keeps trying to seduce Calla all through the book! Shay is way better for Calla.Obviously
5By 54bfHow can anyone hate Shay from the beginning it's just attraction with Calla and Ren. Obviously With Shay it's attraction and this deep connection with Calla, over all this is a great book and only gets better with Shay and Calla's romance.Love the nightshade
5By Awsomeness$$&@82If you hate nightshade and the other books I will shift forms into wolf and make you read itLove this book
5By Mare-bear28I thought the book was amazing. I literally couldn't put the book down when I was reading it. Love it until the end of time :)I HATE SHAY
4By HaudndjabdkdbwjdI hate Shay so much... Team Ren!! If it wasn't for Shay I would've given the book a 5, though(:Amazing! A work of art
5By GfnhfnyfjfnyrI could go on and on and on and gush about how epic this book is BUT it won't. Just buy it and then make ur own decision! Also, for those of you who hate Shay, like me cough cough, she ran away JUST to save Shay and her pack and to gain freedom. Though she does love Shay, he is not the reason she ran away, partly. Anyways, three days until the last book, Bloodrose, comes out!!!!!!! I literally don't think I will survive until then. Time is going soooooooo slow!!!! Seriously, I think the days are going backwards. Why oh why do I not have an ARC???? someone, out me out of my misery! D: Anyways........ I luv these books sooooooo MUCH!!! but I'm really scared for Bloodrose. All the annoying pol who have ARCS, guuurrrrrrrrrr, have been really upset with it. Please, Andrea cremer, please have not done something weird and awful in the end like everyone is saying! Gawd, that would break my heart in a million shards :( THREEE DAYS WILL NEVER COME!!!!! literally, time is frozen! Why don't I have a time machine????? Calla and Ren Forevah!!!!!!! Ralla or Cen hehehehe :DRly good book:)
5By ShuugprebleI really like this book it keeps me on my toes and the plot is great, idk why ppl keep saying they hate Shay, I like how Ren and Shay interact with each other it keeps the book interesting, if he wasn't in the book then it wldnt be as goodNightshade
3By FJNP05I loved this book but I hate shay I've read the second book and still don't care for him hence the 3 stars instead of 4 I just hope by the third book she comes to her seances and ends up with Ren or shay dies that would be even more awesome
