An exhilarating YA adventure from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, no.1 New York
Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games series.
At seventeen, Bryn is has the usual schoolgirl worries: a new
boyfriend, a new school and a new home. But she has one major concern
that her friends don't have: she is an alpha - a human girl in charge
of her own werewolf pack.
When Bryn and her closest friends, Dev and Lake, broke from the
werewolf Callum's pack, it had all felt right. Together with Chase,
Bryn's new love, they had rescued some newly made female werewolves
from a despicable master and established their own pack, with Bryn as
leader.
Yet Bryn has always resented the rules of Pack life - the constant
bowing to authority, the submission to the alpha. And she is determined
to live differently, to run this pack openly and justly.
Then one night, a badly beaten werewolf shows up on her territory. He
needs help, sanctuary, care. But taking him in could violate inter-pack
rules, and no one knows better than Bryn the costs of challenging those
rules.
Obedience is law in Pack life, but Bryn is going to break the rules,
again.
The incredible finale of the exhilarating paranormal romance trilogy
from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, No.1 New York Times bestselling author of
The Inheritance Games series.
Bryn knows first-hand that being the alpha of a werewolf pack means
making hard decisions, and that being human makes things a thousand
times worse. She is prepared to give up her humanity, but the wolf who
promised to change her is waiting - though for what, she doesn't know.
Still human, she must take her place in the werewolf Senate, the
shadowy democracy that rules the packs. Standing side by side with
ancient werewolves is enough of a challenge, especially when they are
called on to deal with a problem that involves memories she would
rather forget . . .
With bodies stacking up and pressure closing in from all sides, Bryn
and her pack are forced to turn to old enemies and friends for help.
Especially when it starts to look like this time, the monster might be
one of their own.
A fresh and irreverent comedy starring a cast of neurodiverse characters - guaranteed to be one of the funniest novels you'll read.
Leon John Crothers is 4779 days old (thirteen years and one month, if you're mathematically challenged). He has been 'moved on' from six different schools and most people think he has an attitude problem. Leon doesn't care for the label, in the same way that he doesn't care for Tim Burton, supermarket trolleys, train fanatics or Bounty bars. This time, however, things may turn out differently, as help comes from where he least expects it - Dr Snot, a physician at pains to help Leon navigate 'normal' and classmates, Tanya and Lawrence, who both face their own challenges.
When school bully Glen Jenkins humiliates Leon in the school canteen and almost destroys Lawrence, Leon very reluctantly agrees to the formation of a club, The Asparagus Bunch. How Leon manages to navigate school woes and family drama - and astonishingly ends up with not one but two friends - is nothing short of a miracle, or maybe just simply down to being different.
