Book: 13 To Life: A Werewolf’s Tale

Release date: June 22, 2010

Publisher: St. Martin’s Griffin

Summary:
Something strange is stalking the small town of Junction…

When junior Jess Gillmansen gets called out of class by Guidance, she can only presume it’s for one of two reasons. Either they’ve finally figured out who wrote the scathing anti-jock editorial in the school newspaper or they’re hosting yet another intervention for her about her mom. Although far from expecting it, she’s relieved to discover Guidance just wants her to show a new student around—but he comes with issues of his own including a police escort.

The newest member of Junction High, Pietr Rusakova has secrets to hide–secrets that will bring big trouble to the small town of Junction—secrets including dramatic changes he’s undergoing that will surely end his life early.

My reasons for wanting to read this right now:
1-I have a thing for werewolf books after reading and loving Shiver. This one sounds so completely different from that one but still amazing.
2-I have read a couple teaser sentences from this book they are awesome. As soon as I read those sentences I knew this book would have to be my WOW.
3-That cover is beyond words. It’s a mix of creepy and romantic and everything else in between. There are just so many things about it that I love.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Waiting On Wednesday: 13 To Life

February 17, 2010 • waiting on wednesday • 8 Comments

Book: 13 To Life: A Werewolf’s Tale

Release date: June 22, 2010

Publisher: St. Martin’s Griffin

Summary:
Something strange is stalking the small town of Junction…

When junior Jess Gillmansen gets called out of class by Guidance, she can only presume it’s for one of two reasons. Either they’ve finally figured out who wrote the scathing anti-jock editorial in the school newspaper or they’re hosting yet another intervention for her about her mom. Although far from expecting it, she’s relieved to discover Guidance just wants her to show a new student around—but he comes with issues of his own including a police escort.

The newest member of Junction High, Pietr Rusakova has secrets to hide–secrets that will bring big trouble to the small town of Junction—secrets including dramatic changes he’s undergoing that will surely end his life early.

My reasons for wanting to read this right now:
1-I have a thing for werewolf books after reading and loving Shiver. This one sounds so completely different from that one but still amazing.
2-I have read a couple teaser sentences from this book they are awesome. As soon as I read those sentences I knew this book would have to be my WOW.
3-That cover is beyond words. It’s a mix of creepy and romantic and everything else in between. There are just so many things about it that I love.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
