Jack: Book 2 is a rollicking high-seas adventure.  Schoolmaster Jerome Whittemore - a former 'preacher' on slave ships - quits teaching after a devastating classroom humiliation at the hands of Jack and Jeremy, two fun-loving, non-conforming students.
 Whittemore  quits teaching and returns to his former ship - the Helena - on what may be a suicide mission. 
Ignorant of Whittemore's plan to incite rebellion with his newfound abolitionist teachings - Jack and Jeremy sign to the same ship. 
Jack and his teacher had hated one another but their antagonistic relationship changes after Jack is finally triumphant in book one. Jack decides to follow him to sea while recruiting his reluctant best friend, Jeremy, who invariably is skeptical of Jack's adventure plans. Both develop a new respect for Whittemore and sign for the same sea voyage - unaware that the Helena is a 'devil slave ship'. 
Whittemore is appalled to see them on deck that first night after the ship is beyond the northern-flowing Gulf Stream. The self-proclaimed 'preacher of the deep' for 'the Church of the Holy Waters', Whittemore intends to incite rebellion in his first sermon since glorifying the southern white plantation slavery system on the same ship three years past. Jeremy and Jack beg him to scuttle his 'crazy' plan but to no avail.
Book 2 opens with master's diatribe against the slave trade and Captain Pendleton and his enablers - the crew of the Helena.
Intrigue, espionage, conspiracies, mutiny and hurricane plague the ship's voyage during its several-month cruise through the Caribbean Sea to Jamaica, Cuba and Hispaniola and elsewhere.
In Jamaica, Jack and Jeremy meet two free blacks - America and Mauricia - and together they conspire to free 110 African slaves who will board the Helena in Cuba.

BOOK 2 - SEQUEL TO MENACE " 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 " It was a tough year for Dylan; battling a kanima and working out whether to save her long-time bully or end him, getting turned into a werewolf that triggered a rare inner werewolf side of her, losing the only friends she ever had. But there were some good times. Dylan made new friends, ones her own age. She even had time for love in her life, upon other things. She made up with her adopted family, learned to love them and even decided to change her name from Cohen to Hawke. But as the battle came to an end, Dylan and her friends, Erica Reyes and Vernon Boyd made the stupid decision to leave and find a new pack. While enduring their escape, they were caught by the Argents and were held captive in their basement for a few hours before making their escape once more, looking for a new pack. And they found it. Only, it wasn't quite what they were looking for. Nearly four months had passed and they were officially classified as missing. Benjamin was wracked with guilt. The new year came around and school was starting. Isaac, Ben and Derek did not rest until they found them. But upon finding them, they discover new secrets, too. disclaimer: i don't own anything of teen wolf but my own characters
