Book
Summary
As
16-year-old 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 picking silk plants and growing fake plants.
After a
couple of wolves show up dead, Grace almost quits. However, 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.

I'm thrilled to be able to help Shelli launch her latest book! I love this series - Grace is such a terrific character. I love the setting of the story too - both in a small town and in the surrounding forests. And of course, the story is packed with exciting twists and turns. I know it's a little early, but the series would make a fabulous Christmas present for any lovers of YA!

Hi Leigh!! :) The book really is AWESOME isn't it?
Okay! I'm seeing this everywhere and it looks awesome!
How exciting! And how wonderful for her success. Also, if she has any of those high heels left over that she wants to get rid of, I wear a size 7.5.
Lisa - it really is an awesome book. I love Shelli's stuff!
MP - Shelli's a very talented lady! I'll have to check to see what size she wore! :P
You make it so appealing

Susan - I know! Amazing, isn't it :)
Nas - me too! She's such a sweetie :)
This looks like a great read. It is refreshing to see a teen book that has a nature setting rather than a city of vampires and/or rich girls! No offense against those books type of books of couse but there is an abundance of them!
Lynn - exactly! I love the fact that Grace is strong, passionate & real - and she loves the outdoors too! :)
