Excerpt:
"If I hadn't been so careless, we wouldn't be in the middle of moving from California to some middle-of-nowhere village in Ireland. If I hadn't been so damn stupid, I would be playing Cards Against Humanity right now with my favorite person on the entire planet. But most importantly, my favorite person on the planet would still be on this fucking planet because I wouldn't have killed him." I held my knees to my chest as I tried to stop myself from hyperventilating.
Tucking my head between my knees, I tried to shut out the world. But try as I might, I was still able to faintly hear my mother turning around on the leather seat before she whispered to my father, "Peter, do it. I can't stand to see her like this."
Before I could register what was happening, my vision faded to black and I drifted into unconsciousness.
______________________
Scarlett and her family are forced to move from California to Ireland after an unfortunate accident leads to the death Scarlett's best friend, Noah. Little did they know, the small village they planned on moving to was in fact right beside the border of one the most lethal werewolf packs on the planet. Scarlett's family may not be werewolves, but they are still far from human.
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.
