The sensuality of Elena's transformations and the viciousness of her kills mesh perfectly with her tough personality.

Elena's feral sensibility, like her psychological vulnerabilities, seems a natural outgrowth of her abusive childhood, and her relationship with the pack is that of any prodigal child to a close-knit family. Her true achievement, though, is her depiction of werewolf nature in believably human context. Armstrong prepares readers for her tale's twists with several key revisions of werewolf lore-the werewolf taint is mostly hereditary, and werewolves can be killed as easily as any human or wolf. Reunited with her former lycanthrope lover and forced into brutally predatory confrontations, Elena finds the call of the wild subtly reasserting itself. All this is jeopardized when she agrees to help her old packmates hunt some troublesome mutts who are converting common criminals to werewolves and leaving a trail of conspicuous carnage. In the year since she relocated to Toronto, she's embarked on a career as a journalist and begun a pleasingly mundane relationship with a decent man. Elena Michaels is a self-described 'mutt,' a werewolf who left her secretive pack in upstate New York for a life among humans.

It’s just difficult because you never know with television what will happen. I like to say that there’s always a hope. I do think it’s a nice closure for the characters. I’m pleased with the direction it went in.

Whether fans like or dislike that, we’ll have to wait and see. I believe that the show really does a great job, this season, of taking the characters to where they needed to be. We’re just really excited we got three seasons, which is an accomplishment for our show, and I just really want to see the show do well this year.”Įarlier, we reported that both the actress and the series’ showrunner are hopeful the series might be saved for a fourth season. But if not, Vandervoort said the end of the third season will have closure for fans: We’re really focused on the third season because I’m proud of the cast and our crew, and everything we accomplished this year. Speaking to Collider, Vandervoort, who plays a female werewolf, said she’s “proud” of the third season: Recently, star Laura Vandervoort spoke with Collider about the end of the supernatural series and what fans can expect.
