When Wednesday Hamilton first shifts at the age of thirteen, her life officially turns into a soap opera. Like no joke. Her mom ditches her for a boyfriend Wednesday didn't even know she had. She has to get a job to pay the stupid bills because her mom left the house under her name and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure that's even legal. She now has to spend the next five years protecting a forest in her hometown because dumb people think it's fun to get lost in there. They even make a legend out of her, not that she likes it. Wednesday is just waiting for the day that she can jump in her car and head for college, consider it a four year vacation. Yes, school for her is now considered a vacation, she has sunken to the lowest level there is. Since she has never met any others of her kind, she's really excited when she first meets a werewolf that approaches her at some random cafe, she's read fictional werewolf books before but she's not sure how much that will help, anyway, she's really excited... until she realizes she's being considered a rouge and a trespasser... yay. fun.
