''Blood and Chocolate'' is a 1997 romantic supernatural werewolf novel for young adult readers by Annette Curtis Klause. It is set in the contemporary United States. ==The ''Loups-garoux''== In Klause's novel, the ''loups-garoux'' are a separate species from humans, referring to themselves as ''Homo lupus''. Legend states that their ancestors were humans blessed by the moon goddess Selene with the power to shapeshift at will into wolves, and the urge to transform becomes painfully irresistible with the coming of a full moon. Loups-garoux are portrayed as glorious beasts who revel in their dual nature, but do not reveal this truth to humans at the risk of violent backlash. In keeping with the traditional werewolf lore, silver is poisonous when introduced into the bloodstream, often proving fatal, and death is a real danger in that "anything that will sever the spine will do". ''Loup-garou'' is the French word for "werewolf". Its plural form is ''loups-garous''. A faux-French plural could be ''loups-garoux''.
