New Paranormal YA Thriller WEREGIRL Reinvents the Teen Girl Protagonist

Move over, Bella Swan - there's a new teenage heroine in town. And she's got bigger problems on her plate than pining after a sparkly boyfriend.

Weregirl by C.D. Bell [Chooseco Publishing] is the contemporary YA paranormal thriller you must read this fall, released on November 1, 2016. Set in present-day Michigan, Weregirl introduces readers to Nessa Kurland, a high school junior focused on winning a college scholarship for cross-country running... until a dangerous late-night encounter with a trapped wolf in the woods drastically alters the course of her destiny.

Strong-willed, loyal, hard working, and intelligent, Weregirl's Nessa is a heroine that lovers of compelling YA thrillers across all age groups (and genders!) can relate to and admire. Weregirl embraces what readers have been longing for in a werewolf-themed novel: respect for nature, the mystery and beauty of wolves, and a supernatural story that doesn't treat supernatural powers as a gimmick.

Filled with humor, romance, adventure, and a real-world relevant storyline that tackles the effects of corporate chemical pollution and DNA manipulation, Weregirl is a breathtakingly fun, not-to-be-missed addition to one of today's most exciting literary genres - crafted by a truly feminist team of authors who passionately believe that teen girls deserve a better teen girl protagonist.
