Bitten

Gr 7 Up–Vanessa Hart just wanted a normal summer night: bonfire, bad music, and a chance to talk to her crush. But when she and her best friend Celeste are attacked by werewolves, “normal” vanishes forever. Now cursed with a bite she never wanted, Vanessa is thrust into a dangerous new world ruled by secrets, hierarchy, and blood. This gripping YA supernatural thriller perfectly balances teenage awkwardness with raw, predatory tension. Vanessa’s transformation from reluctant partygoer to reluctant monster is terrifying and empowering. Readers are pulled into her confusion, fear, and defiance as she struggles to understand whom she can trust, if anyone, in a pack where betrayal is a survival tactic. With a plot that weaves revenge, lust, and loyalty into a fast-paced mystery, Gray keeps readers guessing who truly controls Vanessa’s fate and who is behind the pack’s brutal string of murders. The writing shines in its emotional honesty and suspenseful twists, offering just the right mix of heart and horror. Many of the wolves came from different parts of the world.
