SYNOPSIS:
Nessa Kurland is running for her life.
C. D. Bell's WEREGIRL is a fast-paced teen thriller set in Tether, Michigan, a town on the brink of shutdown since it was stripped of its resources by corporate polluter Dutch Chemical.
High school junior, Nessa Kurland, is a cross-country runner with her eyes set on one thing: a college scholarship as her one-way ticket out of Tether.
Talented teammate Cynthia Sinise invites Nessa on a nighttime run through Tether's overgrown forest trails. But she speeds ahead, leaving Nessa alone to discover a trapped wolf. Nessa tries to free the animal but is badly bitten, seemingly ruining her hopes for a strong fall season with the cross-country team.
Instead, Nessa's freakishly quick recovery is followed by improved running times. All her senses are heightened. Nessa has transformed.
She has become a werewolf.
In her new state, Nessa learns there are things about Tether that powerful people want to keep hidden. Why does a Nobel Laureate work at the small-town medical clinic? Are top college athletic scouts really interested in her emerging talent? Can she trust Chayton, the motorcycle-riding guide her friends have faith in? WEREGIRL's Nessa must navigate her junior year and true human darkness, while making peace with her new, wild nature.

REVIEW:
The first thing someone sees from a book is of course the cover. In my opinion the cover of 'Weregirl' stands out because of it's simplicity. I'm magically drawn to white books. They're standing out between all the dark ones and for this story I couldn't imagine any other cover as the beautiful white wolf represents this book perfectly.
As I love wolves, I just had to read this amazing book as soon as I laid eyes on it. For me wolves are absolutely elegant and mysterious. They're creatures of the nigtht but also very smart, respectful, courageous and simply beautiful. And in 'Weregirl' that's exactly what stands out: How unbelievably clever they really are and how much they care for the members of their pack.
C. D. Bell's writing style is definitely thrilling and very detailed. I could easily imagine every single scene and every character in this book. The whole story is also very fast-paced and you won't find any dull scenes at all.
You will come across some amazing characters. For one there is Nessa. She is the wonderful main character of the story. Nessa has an amazing personality. She is kind and has courage, takes care of her loves ones and doesn't look away, when bad things are happening.
Of course she can't handle everything on her own, so you'll also meet her amazing best friend Bree. She's very curious and Nessa can always count her in for any adventure. Bree would never let Nessa down and that's why I love her so much.
I love High School stories and in 'Weregirl' a big part of the story takes place in Nessa's junior year but I can promise that this story is not the typical 'a girl sees a guy in school and falls in love with him' kind of story. No. It's a massive, fast-paced, thrilling adventure, where teenager love is not the main point but the changes in the protagonist's life are.
I can recommend this book to everyone, who is open-minded towards a new kind of High School story and of course to everyone, who loves wolves. I loved this book and can't wait to hear your opinions on it!
AUTHOR & PUBLISHER BIO:
About C. D. Bell:
When she's not biking the streets of Brooklyn, NY, you can find C. D. Bell writing in a decrepit RV clinging to the side of a hill in upstate New York, trying to teach herself to watercolor, or inventing her own recipes. She is a voracious reader of anything and everything fantasy, supernatural, or romance. And she swears that the monsters she often writes about are not real-- at least she hopes not.
Created by a talented team of six female writers and inspired by the working tradition of television writers, C. D. Bell is a Chooseco author pseudonym developed with teen author Cathleen Davitt Bell, who has written I Remember You [Knopf 2015], among other novels for young adults.
The second installment of the WEREGIRL trilogy is already in the works.
