I am searching for this book that I really like. It's about this girl who lives with her adoptive parents but she decides to leave them because the mom is pregnant. She goes to live with this man that they told the parents she was related to, but really isn't. He's a werewolf and showed that to her in a park. She has to go once a month to this log cabin for a weekend. The werewolf has her meet all of these other eligible werewolves because he says that she is special and rare. She eventually meets Clay. He is more wolf than man and doesn't talk like at all. She goes to college and lives in an apartment with this other girl. They try not to turn the heat on that much. Clay shows up at the house as a dog/wolf and they keep him. The main character soon finds out that he is Clay. Clay works at the garage. Eventually, she bites him on the neck in front of a whole bunch of people when it is normally done in private. Clay finally talks. If you know the book, please help me. If you know how to look up deleted books on the kindle app or on Amazon, please help me. Thank you.

In Mary Shelly's, Frankenstein, did the creature have a pre-existing life?
First, I will share with you 2 paragraphs in the book from which my question originates:
"IT is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original æra of my being: all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct. A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt, at the same time; and it was, indeed, a long time before I learned to distinguish between the operations of my various senses. By degrees, I remember, a stronger light pressed upon my nerves, so that I was obliged to shut my eyes. Darkness then came over me, and troubled me; but hardly had I felt this, when, by opening my eyes, as I now suppose, the light poured in upon me again. I walked, and, I believe, descended; but I presently found a great alteration in my sensations. Before, dark and opaque bodies had surrounded me, impervious to my touch or sight; but I now found that I could wander on at liberty, with no obstacles which I could not either surmount or avoid.
Shelley, Mary (2013-01-19). Frankenstein (The Original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition) (Kindle Locations 1190-1196). E-artnow. Kindle Edition.
***************************************…
Recall that the creature was formed from the parts of several (many?) persons. During one section, which I've quoted above, I'm having trouble analyzing because of my lack of knowledge into the Romantic period and Shelly's views- not to mention of friend of mine argues the opposite point. I'm curious what people here have to say. But first, allow me to exchange my ideas and thought processes with all of you.
My personal intuition is that the passage is a case of the creature reflecting on his creation in the lab (not a past life), using heavy symbolism and visual imagery to compare it to how a child might feel when born (Darkness, followed by light- dark and opaque bodies being doctors and nurses as they hover around a newborn and handle it).
Additionally, with the given time period, fancies of demons and spirits as agents of causation were beginning to end (and would be more prominent in the Victorian Era), and so I think Shelly's metaphysical views might be such that she would more quickly believe a new soul was created than an old one re-incarnated (speculation on my part). Of course, in a nature vs. Nurture argument one might argue that the creature did bad deeds because of having been sewn from criminal parts. But, I think it was his experiences after creation which led to his behavior rather than that from which he was made. This is supported by popular thought among Romantic period poets, which strongly believed in the personal experience of individuals having the greatest impact on one's actions.

My email won't update on my Kindle or my phone, even though they both keep dinging to let me know that I have new emails. And the recent emails that were on there have weird times and the times have changed. Is the server down and if so, will my emails be restored?

E-reader for reading pdf files. Kindle Fire, or something else?
I'd like to be able to access large.pdf files from dropbox on an e-reader. I understand that the Kindle Fire can do this, however I've heard this I'd also a bit hit and miss. Is buying a Kindle Fire the best option, or is there an alternative?

What device would you recommend me to read.pdf?
I'm looking for a cheap, comfortable device to read a bunch of.pdf during long periods of time wherever I go, and also, wifi basics (e-mail, forums, downloading files)
I heard about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. Is it good to read.pdf? Why its screen is black and white, is it because of eye health or something? Does it include touchscreen pencil?
I have no idea, so I hope you can help me.
