Nightshade Writing Contest

A couple months ago, I read Nightshade by Andrea Cremer.  And I'd heard good things.  She and the amazingly talented author of Personal Demons, the one and only Lisa Desrochers, are critique partners.  My intention when I opened Nightshade was to read a chapter before bed.

Three hours later, I finished the book (with a gasp!) and felt addicted.

While other teenage girls daydream about boys, Calla Tor imagines ripping out her enemies’ throats. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. Calla was born a warrior and on her eighteenth-birthday she’ll become the alpha female of the next generation of Guardian wolves. But Calla’s predestined path veers off course the moment she saves the life of a wayward hiker, a boy her own age. This human boy’s secret will turn the young pack's world upside down and forever alter the outcome of the centuries-old Witches' War that surrounds them all.
