WHAT’S THIS BOOK ABOUT?

Not a fan of series? Good news! This is a standalone novel with no sequels attached.

Girl meets boy. Girl loses boy when she turns into ravening wolf monster. Girl tries to get boy back. It’s a fairly standard tune, right? At least, it is for poor Vivian. With the wilderness shrinking fast in the face of urban progress, disaster seems to follow the loup-garoux wherever they flee. Without a true home to call their own, these nomadic werewolves are forced to live among humans in secret. Befriending “meat-people” is strictly discouraged, an easy task for Vivian since she’s never really fit in at her high school, where she must hide her true nature. But then she meets Aidan, a sweet, sensitive human boy who is deeply interested in the occult. Will Aiden lead her to true love? Or will an innocent misunderstanding compromise the pack’s safety once again?

WHY SHOULD YOU READ IT?
Vivian’s emotional journey helps dispel any unrealistic attitudes some readers might have about romance, and ultimately provides an important lesson for teens: in romantic relationships, it’s best to find someone who will accept you for who you truly are.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?
