Nessa Kurland is running for her life...
High school junior Nessa
Kurland is a cross-country runner with her eyes set on one thing: a
college scholarship as her one-way ticket out of Tether, Michigan, a
town on the brink of shutdown since it was devastated by corporate
polluter Dutch Chemical.
Talented teammate Cynthia invites Nessa
on a nighttime run through Tether's overgrown forest trails. But she
speeds ahead, leaving Nessa alone to discover a trapped wolf. Nessa
tries to free the animal but is badly bitten, seemingly ruining her
hopes for a strong fall season.
Instead, Nessa's freakishly quick
recovery is followed by improved running times. All her senses are
heightened. Nessa has transformed.
She has become a werewolf...
In
her new state, Nessa learns that Tether has many secrets. What is
really going on at the small-town clinic? Can she decipher what the wolf
pack she's been running with is trying to tell her? Nessa must navigate
true human darkness and the uncertainty of young love, while making
peace with her new, wild nature.
"Weregirl is not a love story as Twilight
was--nor does it fall victim to the dreaded love triangle that many
other YA novels make the focal point. Ultimately, Nessa feels like a
real girl, with all of the flaws, desires, and confusing feelings that
real girls her age have." --Revelist
"A heart-gripping story of danger and magical transformation." --Eliot Schrefer, two-time National Book Award Finalist and author of Rescued
"A fresh and unique approach to the werewolf genre...Nessa's growth into a more confident young woman [is] sure to inspire young readers." --YABooksCentral
"Supernatural
fans of all ages will thoroughly enjoy the exciting, dramatic saga of a
young woman's dual quest to master her own wild gift and uncover the
sinister secret lurking within her dilapidated hometown. An exciting,
dramatic story featuring a courageous and resourceful heroine, Weregirl is highly recommended for both high school and public library fantasy collections." --Midwest Book Review
"I literally devoured [Weregirl] in one sitting." --WanderedSouls Book Blog

novel, this book is your answer." --Bookseller at VJ Books

The forest is full of secrets...
Nessa
Kurland is adjusting to life as a weregirl—she is transforming with
ease and running with a pack she cares for deeply. Her boyfriend Luc is a
fellow shifter, and Paravida, the corporation responsible for unethical
genetic experiments on the residents of Tether, has pulled out of town,
leaving the community safe.
But that’s just how it appears on the surface.
Nessa
returns home from a run with the pack to find an FBI raid and the
shocking news that her mother Vivian is being held without bail for
violations so serious she may be facing life in prison. What did Nessa’s
mother, a small-town vet tech, do to threaten Homeland Security?
Vivian’s secret past leads Nessa to discover there is more to her own
story than she ever imagined.
The wolves that are running
through Tether’s woods are not the same pack Nessa knew before. These
are not all natural wolves. And they are breeding.
Nessa’s transformation is only just beginning.
In
CHIMERA, the second installment in the Weregirl trilogy, Nessa
confronts the truth of who she is, where she comes from, and what she
has to do to survive.
Three sisters, together for the first time since birth: Nessa Kurland, a
werewolf with powers she has learned to control. Delphine, who grew up
knowing there was more to their family's story than was being said. And
finally: the chimera, a construction of their father's lab, whose very
existence threatens them all.
Now that all three live at their
father's property and laboratory facility in the Pacific Northwest, what
will the family's future hold?
Nessa has begun summoning a new
skill that she does not understand: halos of color are appearing around
people and animals, but what do they mean? And why are the darkest
shadows surrounding Delphine?
Who are the kids that lurk in the dark corners of the woods? Are there other wolves and shifters that Nessa doesn't know about?
Daniel
Host, Nessa's father, has called together a group of special
researchers and scientists to view the ultimate creation. All eyes are
on him.
And a storm is coming...
In WEREGIRL:
TYPHON, the epic conclusion of the WEREGIRL Trilogy, Nessa must decide
between science, magic, and family...and she must stop the evil that
threatens all three.
