MY LIFE HAS BEEN MISSING SOMETHING RECENTLY

Firstly, author JA SOUDERS is hosting a first chapter critique competition - she can. This is a great opportunity, she offers critique pain in a range of levels to suit the the toughest hides to shrinking violets. Take a look :D
 




I've been missing wolves lately. There just haven't been enough werewolves in my life. I've got a biting new book to share:

Tuesday’s Teaser:

1 Grab your current read.

2 Let the book fall open to a random page.

3 Share two (2) sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

I'm going to share the title of the book this “teaser” is from so, if you love the section I've posted, and you've been drawn into the world the author has created, you can find the book too.

I loved the blurb that reads:

When the air is clear, sixteen-year-old Drew Ferran can pick up the scent of a predator.


When the moon breaks through the clouds, a terrifying fear grips him.


And when a vicious beast invades his home, his flesh tears, his fingers become claws and Drew transforms...


*roar ;)


"YOU ARE THE LAST OF THE WEREWOLVES. 
DON'T FIGHT IT, SON; EMBRACE IT. CONQUER IT."


Drew is forced to leave his family and seeks refuge in the most godforsaken part of Lyssia. He has to battle werecreatures determined to destroy him and master the animal within.


I loved the premise: in this book good battles evil in many forms.


This book was written by Curtis Jobling:



The two sentences I am posting are from page 22 of WEREWORLD: Rise of the Wolf by Curtis Jobling:


Upon seeing the beast, Drew's first thought was that it was a bear of some kind, but who had ever heard of a bear being bold enough to walk up to a farmhouse, let alone leaping through its windows? It quickly became clear that the creature was far removed from anything that he'd ever seen, sharing little in common with the animals that inhabited the Cold Coast.

Curtis Jobling: production designer on Bob, The Builder, author and illustrator of Frankenstein's Cat and now Wereworld. Shortlisted for the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2011.

    Hi Diane
    I've been feeling like that too. I liked the books I was reading but it's been too long since I've been desperate to read until the wee-small hours of the morning ;)
