1.Temperature is very important in this story. In some ways, it seems to be the most important element in their environment for their characters. Each chapter even includes thee temperature in the chapter header. Why is temperature so important? How does it affect the story? How does the author remind readers of the importance of the temperature as they are reading?

2. Sam regards becoming a wolf as the worst possible outcome, while Beck seems to be more pragmatic about it and Olivia seems to even embrace it. Why do you think they feel differently? How would you feel?

3. Why wasn't Grace turned when she was attacked as a child? What characteristics does she share with the wolves? Would she have fallen for Sam if she didn't have such a strong connection to the wolves?

4. What was it about Sam's eyes that made him stand out as a human? Do you think that his eyes were the reason he was bitten as a child?

5. There are times in the story where Grace yearns to live with the wolves, yet she desperately wants Sam to remain human. Does she truly love Sam or is it only because he is part wolf?
