"You're all I ever wanted, so in whatever form you take, you will always be perfect to me."
Emery Snyder is a completely average boy with completely average goals and dreams. However due to a childhood trauma, he has an extreme fear of animals- specifically dogs.
So one late afternoon, escaping to his grandmother's, his worst nightmare is realized.
*
More wolf than human, Adelaide Young is the most calm, blindingly happy person one will ever have the pleasure of meeting, so really it's no surprise the confusion she's placed in when a boy actually fears her.
As fate would have it, it's this very boy that she just can't get off her mind leading to the chase of the century- well, the greatest chase of Jameson Ridge. A hot topic for housewife gossip, Adelaide's first love will experience all the ups and downs of a new relationship with an old tale's spin and a dash of supernatural.
[Disclaimer: this summary is wildly misleading as I've changed the direction of the plot quite a bit, so proceed with caution from this point forward.]
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
