Splinters
Under normal circumstances, Ben and Mina would never have had reason to speak to each other. He’s an easy-going people person with a healthy skepticism about the paranormal; she’s a dangerously obsessive monster-hunter with a crippling fear of betrayal. But the small Northern California town of Prospero, with its rich history of cryptid sightings, miracles, and mysterious disappearances, has no normal circumstances to offer. When Ben’s missing childhood friend, Haley Perkins, stumbles out of Prospero’s surrounding woods and right into her own funeral, Ben and Mina are forced to work together to uncover what happened to her. Different as they are, their unlikely friendship may be the only thing that can save the town, and possibly the world, from its insidious invaders. "A snapping, crackling, popping homage to classic horror that alludes to no optimistic resolution—all the more reason for a series." -Kirkus Reviews "A promising series opener, this will satisfy those readers who like their scary stories to be as clever as they are chilling." -Bulletin of the Center for Children"s Books

This is adult material, do not read if descriptions of things such as blood, death, curse words, violence, threats of assault, and/or mature content/themes bother or offend you *** ----- Rose Cowell is just your normal delivery girl. She may not have much besides her bike and leather jacket, but for her it's enough. Sure, others may have their grand estates or magic in Grindelwood City, but she's perfectly happy biking packages from apartment to skyscraper to mansion even if it would be easier to just "magic" it to the customers doorstep. Everything was fine until she ran into him, Shepard Blake while making a special delivery one day. Ever since then, nothing has been the same. And despite telling herself over and over that she'd never hang around that smug cocky wolf again, when she's pushed to her limit, who else can she turn too? ----- “I. Don’t. Like. You,” I whisper. “I may find you hot, but that doesn’t mean you're ever gonna see me again. And if you do, I will personally kick your a*s.” I can see a wild and dangerous look lurking in the depths of his eyes, hiding behind his playful nature. Shepard suddenly stands up too, his face brushing mine as he slides in next to my ear. “I’ve never seen a human beat a werewolf in a fight before.” ... ...Some part of me is screaming to run away, but I can’t back down and it’s clear he isn’t going to either. Nothing else matters, just us, inches away from each other's faces. I close the distance, pressing my lips to his, stealing a kiss.
