Why am I passionate about this?
I've always been a bookworm. From the Boxcar Children and The Hobbit as a kid to Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele, and even Stuart Woods as an adult. None of those genres hold such a special place in my heart as Young Adult. Self-discovery, overcoming pain and trauma of childhood, making deliberate choices about love, and life, and who weāre going to be in this worldāyoung adulthood is fraught with the elements necessary for unforgettable stories. Since I began publishing 10 years ago, my books have sold thousands of copies worldwide and won numerous book awards, but the thing that keeps me writing is being a reader first.
Heather's book list on young adult shifter romance
Why did Heather love this book?
One of the reasons I read this genre is because so many of these stories include strong, fierce heroines and Calla Tor from Nightshade is one of the strongest. In a society and culture that imposes rules and oppression on their people, Calla is forced to test the limits and figure out who she really is and what sheās made of while still being a strong leader to her pack. This story is on my top 5 list because Calla is an unforgettable character, but so much of why youāll love her is thanks to the world this author creates. Nightshade is another unique, fresh take on werewolves that you wonāt want to put down.
1 author picked Nightshade as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 14, 15, 16, and 17.
She can control her pack, but not her heart ...'I wanted him to kiss me-wished he could smell the desire that I knew was pouring off me. You can't, Calla. This boy isn't the one for you.' Calla Tor has always known her destiny: graduation, marriage and then a life leading her pack. But when she defies her masters' laws to save a human boy, she must choose. Is one boy worth losing everything?
