On Fire by Nancy Holder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited when I saw that I could email the author and get a copy of this book for review. So I immediately did that, and very soon it came in the mail! So I put it on my next to read list since it had already been published. The reason I wanted to read this book is because I was first introduced to the writing of Nancy Holder from her Buffy the Vampire Slayer novelizations. And I always loved the ones that she had written. She has a way of capturing the characters’ personalities and making it feel as if you are actually watching an episode of the show. And to be able to do this with such a well crafted show like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, well, you know what a great author that makes her. Teen Wolf is one of my new favorite shows. While I still love the original movie, and the tv show departs quite a bit from that, I love the characters in the show. Especially Stiles. I actually like him much more on the tv show than I did in the movie. Nancy Holder did not disappoint with this tv show tie-in novel.
Now I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that as I watched Teen Wolf during the 1st season, I would often be playing on the computer, so I’m sure there are a few storylines I missed. But I think this was one of those stories that didn’t actually happen on the show, something that could have happened during the times we didn’t see. And I liked getting the back story. What the relationship between Derek and Allison’s aunt Kate was before. More information about Jackson. And I even like towards the end when Derek’s memories gave us a little glimpse into the lives of both Scott and Stiles when big events were occurring in their families.
I have been more careful about what books I give 5 stars to lately. But since I feel this book captures the essence of the tv show so well, like the Buffy books I read by this author, I had to give this a 5 as well. And I really hope there will be more tie-in novelizations, especially done by her!

Oooh, and I just realized, I still need an “N” book for my A-Z Reading Challenge, and since this author’s first name is Nancy, I’ll use this to fill that in!!

    • Thanks so much for commenting on my review!! The reason you are one of my favorite authors is because you are able to do so much justice to them with your writing. I'm assuming you loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer too, because your books with that were soooooo good!
