Waiting on Wednesday 15 - 13 To Life: A Werewolf's Tale

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking The Spine. This week's choice is:

13 to Life: A Werewolf's Tale by Shannon Delaney - Release Date: June 22, 2010

Jessica's life seemed difficult enough since the sudden loss of her mother, but meeting Pietr Rusakova turns her world upside down again.

The newest member of Junction High, Pietr is a first generation Russian-American, a fact that by itself makes him different enough to get lots of attention in the small town.

But Pietr is far more than good looks and an interesting accent, Pietr has secrets to hide-secrets including dramatic changes he's undergoing that will surely end his life early.

Secrets dating back to the Cold War get the better of Jessica's curiosity, leading her into an exciting and dangerous world where her understanding of reality and what makes a man or a monster will be challenged.


13 to Life: A Werewolf's Tale is Shannon Delaney's debut novel. Is it on your Debut Authors Challenge List? Not only does this book sound cool, it was started as a novel written in cell phone text messages! Shannon won the grand prize in the first-ever cell phone novel contest in the western world through Textnovel.com. Can't wait to check this one out!
