Just your average boy-meets-girl,
boy-kills-people story.

The Native American Navajo tribe has stories
of a monster so wicked, so blood-thirsty, that they are to be
hunted down and slaughtered. But are they just legends? Or is
something sinister lurking in the shadows? The Yee
Naaldlooshi—skinwalkers—have the ability to transform themselves.
And they can be anyone. Anything.

The Hunters—a group dedicated to tracking the
creatures—are hot on their trail and they won’t stop until every
last one is dead. But are they all as evil as foretold? Seb, alpha
of the Taylor, Arizona reservation pack, begins to question the
acts of their kind. But he’s broken a rule and must choose between
killing the girl he loves or risking everything to save her. Cassie
must fight for her survival. The pack is after her. And they’re no
joke. Cass is about to find out how sadistic they can be.

Fans of Red Queen and The Hunger Games Trilogy will
love this new series by Shannon A. Thompson.

Seventeen-year-old Serena isn't human. She is
a bad blood, and in the city of Vendona, bad bloods are executed.
In the last moments before she faces imminent death, a prison guard
aids her escape and sparks a revolt. Back on the streets determined
to destroy her kind, Serena is spared by a fellow bad blood named
Daniel. His past tragedies are as equally mysterious as her
connection to them. Unbeknownst to the two, this connection is the
key to winning the election for bad bloods' rights to be seen as
human again. But Serena is the only one who can secure Vendona's
vote. Now, Daniel must unite with her before all hope is lost and
bad bloods are eradicated, even if it means exposing secrets worse
than death itself. United or not, a city will fight, rain will
fall, and all will be threatened by star-crossed love and political
corruption.
