Charlotte has finally found her place and settled into the Thunderhead werewolf pack in backwoods Alaska. She's spent the past year happily working as a tracker, spending her downtime with her best friend and roommate, or catching up with her mentor.

But then the surprise arrival of someone new turns the world she's grown to love upside down. Faced with new challenges and truths that make her question everything around her, Charlotte wonders if it's possible to protect the people she loves while also following her heart.

The hunt / by Taylor, Z. W.,author.;
"She survived the bite, but can she survive her beast? No one thought Charlotte would make it through the harrowing transformation to become a shifter after she was attacked by werewolves in the Alaskan woods. They underestimated her. Now, to earn a place in this hidden world, she has to prove her worth to the whole pack. So Charlotte chooses to become a tracker, despite the misgivings of her surly mentor, Levi, and the rigorous training that ends in a dangerous hunt. So what if she still needs to figure out how to control her inner wolf? The hunt takes place deep in the wilderness, where an ancient evil lurks in a forbidden section of the forest. Charlotte will be tested as she learns to work with other members of the pack--even when they don't want her there--and to tame the beast inside her. But this is her shot at a new start ... and it's a matter of life and death. Whatever dark secrets she uncovers, if Charlotte is going to survive, it's time to stop running away and become the hunter."--Back cover.

The precipice [sound recording] / by Doiron, Paul.; Leyva, Henry.;
Read by Henry Leyva."When two young female hikers disappear in the Hundred Mile Wilderness--the most remote stretch along the entire two-thousand mile Appalachian Trail--Maine game warden Mike Bowditch joins the search to find them. The police interview everyone they can find who came in contact with the college students and learn that the women were lovers who had been keeping their relationship secret from their Evangelical parents in Georgia. When two corpses are discovered--the bones picked clean by coyotes--rumors spread that the women were stalked and killed by the increasingly aggressive canines. Faced with a statewide panic, Maine's governor places an emergency bounty on every dead coyote, and wildlife officials are tasked with collecting the carcasses. Despite some misgivings, Bowditch does his grisly job. But he finds his complacency challenged by his new girlfriend, the brilliant but volatile biologist Stacey Stevens, who insists coyotes merely scavenged the bodies after the women were murdered. When Stacey herself disappears on the outskirts of the Hundred Mile Wilderness, Bowditch realizes that locating her means he must also discover the truth behind what happened to the two hikers. Were the young women really killed by coyotes or, as Stacey insisted, were they murdered by the most dangerous animal in the North Woods?"--Provided by publisher.

Thirteen-year-old Ben is sent to a remote reform program for troubled teens by a juvenile court judge. But when he arrives at the camp, located on the edge of the vast wilderness of northwestern Montana, he immediately recognizes that there is something off about the counselors. They're too friendly and upbeat ... yet Ben can tell there's an undercurrent of menace. As he gets to know the boys in his cabin, he soon discovers that they each have far more going for them than whatever crime landed them there. And each has a different critical skill, one that could help them unearth what is really going on in this place--and how to make it out alive. They are inching ever closer to the truth, and the hidden evil beneath the camp's surface will make itself known in order to deter them.

A land so wide : a novel / by Craig, Erin A.,author.;
Like everyone else in the settlement of Mistaken, Greer Mackenzie is trapped. Founded by an ambitious lumber merchant, the village is blessed with rich natural resources that have made its people prosperous--but at a cost. The same woods that have lined the townsfolks' pockets harbor dangerous beasts: wolves, bears, and the Bright-Eyeds--monsters beyond description who have rained utter destruction down on nearby settlements. But Mistaken's founders made a deal with the mysterious Benevolence: the Warding Stones that surround the town will keep the Bright-Eyeds out--and the town's citizens in. Anyone who spends a night within Mistaken's borders belongs to it forever. Greer, a mapmaker and eccentric dreamer, has always ached to explore the world outside, even though she knows she and her longtime love, Ellis Beaufort, will never see it. Until, on the day she and Ellis are meant to finally begin their lives together, Greer watches in horror as her beloved disappears beyond the Warding Stones, pursued by a monstrous creature. Determined to rescue Ellis, she figures out a way to defy Mistaken's curse and begins a trek through the cold and pitiless wilderness. But there, Greer is hunted, not only by the ruthless Bright-Eyeds but by the secret truths behind Mistaken's founding and her own origins.
