She featured it today as her Waiting on Wednesday and I’m stealing it as mine too. Why? Because I’m a sucker for shifters and this book has already proven its potential to be phenomenal.

Summary (Shannon’s web site)
Something strange is stalking the small town of Junction…His name is pronounced as Peter.
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.

ReplyDeleteReally should be Rusakov >_< Great looking book though. Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, for the lovely WoW, Jess!
ReplyDeleteHi Lorelei! Love your name, btw. :-) I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Hi L.J.! LOL There is a reason for *nearly* everything within this series, even the family name (which comes up in the second book, due out January 2011). And, oddly enough, the circumstance surrounding it is drawn from real life. :D
Thanks again, Jess!

Gah! You're going to make us wait that long to know why! :) Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply Shannon!
ReplyDeleteI agree with L.J.! We have to wait that long! :( 13 to Life isn't out until June next year and I'd assume book 2 will follow one year after that! :(
I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
I read about this, and it does look very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, June 2010 does seem far off, right now.
This book looks great! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSounds VERY good. I will be adding to my goodreads to-read shelf! Thanks for sharing it.
