To Silvia Butterfield, nothing is more important than family. So, when her father passes away unexpectedly her senior year, and her mother falls into an irreparable state of depression, she decides she must be the glue that holds her mom and two siblings together.
A series of unusual events provides an opportunity for her family to escape the ghost that haunts them in Ohio. Packing up and moving across the country is never easy, yet she happily jumps at the chance that this small town in Washington will bring some normalcy back to her family's lives.
However, she quickly finds that this little town has some unique secrets of its own...some of them so old even the members of the town themselves do not know them. Many new challenges await Silvia, but the grandest of those challenges are named Luca, Hadrian, and Emmett McCoy.
I hope you're wearing your seatbelts, because it's going to be a bumpy ride.

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.
