Rachel Neumeier’s Black Dog
This is the start of a series by Neumeier that I haven’t read, but she recently wrapped it up, so it seemed like a good time to read it! Plus I love reading big ol' series in the winter. Anyway, I knew this was a sort of urban fantasy story that involved werewolves (or really, dog shifters and also werewolves), but didn’t realize it was YA. It centers on three siblings on the run after their parents are murdered, hoping to find safe haven in the dog shifter group where their father was raised—the eldest is a shifter and his sister has a valuable kind of magic (they also have a super smart human brother but he’s not a POV character). I did think parts of this were a little too slow, but it has some really interesting family/group dynamics, which I always enjoy (and which Neumeier always does well). A-/B+.
