As Grace recovers from tragedy, her science class is chosen by Agent Sweeney at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to help with research on the new "Red Wolf Reintroduction Program".
While she’s excited about helping with the conservation of the endangered wolves, Grace knows this means being outdoors in the worst winter recorded, in a place she no longer feels comfortable. It also means working closely with Wyn (her ex) and his annoying girlfriend (Skyler), a girl whose idea of getting close to nature is growing silk plants.
After a couple wolves show up dead, Grace almost quits. When a fellow project team member goes missing, Grace continues the assignment under a renewed suspicion that someone might be sabotaging the conservation program. She quietly begins to hunt for clues.
Little does she know, she is being hunted too.
And possibly by more than one person.

PRAISES FOR UNTRACEABLE
"Grace is a spunky, independent, nature girl who doesn't need a boy to save her. With wilderness survival, a juicy love triangle, and more twists and turns than a roller coaster, this fast-paced novel had me holding my breath until the very last page—and still begging for more!" - Kimberly Derting, author of the The Body Finder series (Harper Teen) and The Pledge series (S&S)
"This thrilling story is a dramatic entanglement of mystery, deception and teen romance. The action flows like a brisk mountain stream interspersed with rapids, holding suspense to last page."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Johannes has done a marvelous job of creating a suspense-filled mystery with surprises that keep you guessing all the way to the end. Untraceable is a thoroughly engrossing and riveting page-turner." -IndieReader

Can't wait to read this Shelli! I loved Book #1 and can't wait to follow more of Grace's adventures! Shelli's also having a contest starting Monday - head over to her blog for details!
Don't you love that cover? I love how we see more of Grace this time yet it still echoes the first cover beautifully!

It is a lovely cover. I'm glad teens are reading stories set in nature.
Susan - me too! Shelli's stories are awesome! :)
I agree Susan. Stories that connect teens with nature, especially wildlife (not werewolves) are too few and far between. This looks like a good one.
Sounds like a most fab read - a thriller with a conscience! Hoorah for wolves and this beautiful book cover!! Take care

Linda - I agree too. Grace is such a great character - tough and realistic and she loves the outdoors - love it!
Old Kitty - I love wolves too - and Shelli treats Mother Nature so well. It's going to be a great book :)
I've been following the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone. They're such magnificent animals. I'm glad the topic made it into a book for teens.
Leslie - they really are beautiful animals - and so misunderstood! I'm thrilled Shelli's tackling this topic too :)
Absolutely love this cover :)! So excited to get to read Uncontrollable. I loved Untraceable <3

Nice cover. And preserving wolves? I'm all for that.
Stephen - I agree!
Diane - me too! Shelli uses important concepts to tell her characters' stories!
I love the pic on the cover, but I'd change the fonts and make the name of the author and the book different shades. And would probably put one of it above and the second down. It always works better that way!
It's a beautiful cover, and I love the context of the wolf conservation. I bet it's super interesting.
Dezzy - good suggestions :) I have so many favourite covers - I'll have to look and see how they're all balanced :)
MP - Shelli's first book inovled bears and bear traps - fascinating topics for sure!
Great cover and description. I still need to read book 1.
Medeia - you'll really enjoy it - strong female character who loves the outdoors and her family. It's really good!
Lovely cover and a great synopsis! Sounds like something my daughter would enjoy!
Dianne - the first book is completely awesome and I'm betting this one is the same :)
What great reviews for the book! She must be thrilled!
Yep, cover is great. Sounds like an awesome read.
