Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Sixteen-year-old Vivian loves being a werewolf, but after her father’s death, her pack is in chaos and she feels lost among humans. When she falls for kind, curious Aiden—a human—she dreams of a normal life. But a shocking murder and her growing inner conflict force Vivian to choose: human love or wild instinct.
“Coming?” Bingo called over her shoulder. Vivian shook her head. I piss when I please, she thought. As Aiden bantered with his friends, Vivian teased herself with his closeness. He felt good, he smelled sexy, she didn’t know why she’d worried so much before. If she bit him it would be a bite he’d enjoy.…
“Volkswagen Beetle,” he answered. “Circa 1972. It sends my father right up the wall-not only is it imported, but it’s the sort of car ‘those damn hippies’ used to drive.” She nodded in sympathy. “I like the dragon on the door,” she said. “Yeah, Jem did it for me.” His eyes widened. “Hey, maybe you…
“You’ve got a smart mouth, girl,” Esmé called as she walked off. Now Vivian was sure she was going. He had phoned, and she wasn’t an outsider anymore-untouchable and strange, perhaps invisible. But why should she care so much? He was a human after all: a meat-boy scantily furred, an incomplete creature who had only…
“What if we don’t want to go?” Vivian was amazed when Astrid wasn’t immediately shouted down. “You’ve got to go,” Rudy said. “This isn’t the place for the pack. There are too many humans, too close together. With this many of us, sooner or later someone’s going to make a mistake, and this time it…
The screen door slammed. The Five came out into the back, mumbling and growling. “That worn-out old dog,” Rafe said. “He can’t tell us we can’t fight.” “Damn right,” agreed Gregory. “We deserve a chance.” Vivian laughed. The Five converged on her. They peered through the vines like angry satyrs. Rafe tore aside the tangle…
May Flames shot high, turning the night lurid with carnival light. Sparks took the place of stars. The century-old inn was a silhouette fronting hell, as everything Vivian knew was consumed in fire. Two figures broke from the smashed front door and ran toward the woods where she stood, their nightclothes smeared with soot, their…
He must have been changing back when a classmate saw him crouched over the body. Before Axel knew he was there, the boy took off and named him to the police. The Five decided to help. They killed another girl while Axel was in jail. They didn’t let Vivian know their plans; they must have…
Pirate of the flesh throw back your head and part your jowls to sing a lunar song. The forest paths are dark the night is long. She shivered in delicious shock. He knows, she thought. He knows what’s in the picture. Anger edged out the excitement and her eyes narrowed. Who was this Aiden Teague?…
That was better than sitting around being miserable. Where should she look? She decided to ask her art teacher. He was one of the advisers to The Trumpet. “Oh, yeah. He’s a junior,” Mr. Antony said, shaking some brushes out over the art-room sink. “How would I find him?” Vivian asked. “Well, if you hang…
You don’t watch enough late-night movies. The person who sees a pentagram in his palm becomes a werewolf’s victim. “Are you a witch?” Aiden asked, his eyes twinkling.
