Blurb:
Tessa McCaide has a unique talent for getting into trouble.
Then again, it isn’t easy for a girl with 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 one of
“them” 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. Alibe’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.
My Review:
Whenever seventeen year old Tessa touches people or objects
she gets a glimpse into their past so she wears gloves at all times to help
prevent this from happening. A girl gets tired of seeing into people’s heads
and seeing some of the things they do. Tessa has no friends because everyone
thinks she is a freak but they are probably more afraid of her than anything.
So when Tessa’s dad announces that he has a new job in Texas
and is going to move the family there so they can be closer to her mother’s
family Tessa is ok with this as she doesn’t want to return to her old school
anyway with no friends.
Tessa meets a few new friends at her new school and is
invited to a party. She decides that she will go as she doesn’t want to start
her new life stuck in her room alone all the time. Tessa wants what any girl
her age wants and that is to have a life and friends.
At the party she sees this very hot guy whom she met at her
new house the day they arrived. Just being around Dastien turns her legs into mush
and for some reason her brain decides to go on vacation and whenever she tries
to have a conversation with him she just spits and stutters.
Dastien is a werewolf and has a strong attraction to Tessa
as well. When he meets her his wolf claims her as his mate. At the party
Dastien kisses her and accidently bites her which in turn cause her to become a
werewolf.
After Tessa becomes a werewolf she has to change schools
again and gets to know a whole new set of people. Tessa now has to attend the St.
Alibe Academy, a school for werewolves. Tessa makes some new friends at St.
Alibe’s and has found a best friend in Meredith her roommate.
Most everyone at St. Alibe’s are great people but there are
a few that has it out for Tessa and will do whatever it takes to take her down
or get her thrown out. Imogene and ex-girlfriend/best friend of Dastien still
wants him and tries to let Tessa know by getting her face at every opportunity
but she is missing with the wrong girl when she goes up against Tessa as her
wolf will always fight for her mate.
Not only does she have to worry about ex-girlfriends but she
has found out that vampires are coming to attack the school. Tessa and her
friends must find a way to stop the vampires and they are definitely not of the
sparkly variety no they are of the mean gross, smelly, rotten, undead variety.
I would like to say that Becoming Alpha was the first book
in the Alpha Girl series that I have read but it is not as I read Shattered
Pack book #6 first and then Being Alpha Book #7 next so I fell in love with
this series last year when I read Shattered Pack. After reading Becoming Alpha
I thought to myself I would love to start at the beginning with Tessa’s story
to find out how it all began so imagine my surprise when I checked my email and
the rest of the books were there waiting for me. I was overjoyed to have been
given this opportunity and couldn’t wait to get started. I can’t wait to jump
head first into the next book Avoiding Alpha.
Becoming Alpha hooked me from the first page and didn’t let
go until the end or may not even then. I honestly think there is action on
every page that keeps you turning the pages to see what is going to happen
next. I would honestly have to say that the Alpha Girl series is one of the
best werewolves’ series ever. I believe the Alpha Girl series would make a
great TV show or series.
Becoming Alpha is a great read for anyone who likes a little
bit of everything in their paranormal worlds like werewolves, vampires and
witches. If this is your thing then you will love Becoming Alpha. Pick up your
copy today and begin a werewolf adventure with Tessa, Dastien, Meredith and the
rest of the characters.
