Shifting

By Bethany Wiggins

Book Description

Navajo Skinwalkers are lurking in this dark romance

After bouncing from foster home to foster home, Magdalene Mae is transferred to what should be her last foster home in the tiny town of Silver City, New Mexico. Now that she's eighteen and has only a year left in high school, she's determined to stay out of trouble and just be normal. Agreeing to go to the prom with Bridger O'Connell is a good first step. Fitting in has never been her strong suit, but it's not for the reasons most people would expect-it all has to do with the deep secret that she is a shape shifter. But even in her new home danger lurks, waiting in the shadows to pounce. They are the Skinwalkers of Navajo legend, who have traded their souls to become the animal whose skin they wear-and Maggie is their next target.

Full of romance, mysticism, and intrigue, this dark take on Navajo legend will haunt readers to the final page.

“A blend of paranormal romance and Navajo legend, Wiggins’s debut novel is an engaging story that’s difficult to put down. Recommend it to fans of Maggie Stiefvater’s “Wolves of Mercy Falls” series.”—School Library Journal
