BLURB
The forest is full of secrets.
Nessa Kurland is adjusting to life as a weregirl—she is transforming with ease and running with a pack she cares for deeply. Her boyfriend Luc is a fellow shifter, and Paravida, the corporation responsible for unethical genetic experiments on the residents of Tether, has pulled out of town, leaving the community safe.
But that’s just how it appears on the surface.
Nessa returns home from a run with the pack to find an FBI raid and the shocking news that her mother Vivian is being held without bail for violations so serious she may be facing life in prison. What did Nessa’s mother, a small-town vet tech, do to threaten Homeland Security? Vivian’s secret past leads Nessa to discover there is more to her own story than she ever imagined.
The wolves that are running through Tether’s woods are not the same pack Nessa knew before. These are not all natural wolves. And they are breeding.
Nessa’s transformation is only just beginning.
In CHIMERA, the second installment in the Weregirl trilogy, Nessa confronts the truth of who she is, where she comes from, and what she has to do to survive.

REVIEW
Chimera by C.D. BellKats rating: 5 of 5 stars
I First read this book in 2017 and for some reason whether I forgot to review it, or it disappeared (as I remember writing one!), but anyway I decided to re-read the series again. And boy I am glad I did, as I forgot how much I enjoyed Nessa's journey.
well on with the review...
What I liked - I like the way that the author has created a world where 'were's' mix with natural wolves. That the storyline delves into the science of DNA manipulation and the ethics of where that could lead to.
In this book
Nessa is now used to being a 'weregirl'— running with Luc her boyfriend and fellow shifter and the wolf pack that lives in the surrounding woods.
Paravida, the corporation responsible for unethical genetic experiments on the residents of Tether, (Book 1) has done a dissapearing act... Or Have they?
The book opens with a dramatic scene when Nessa returns home from a run with the pack to find her house swarming with FBI who arrest her mum Vivian, without bail for violations so serious she may be facing life in prison...
Vivian’s secret past leads Nessa to discover there is more to her own story than she ever imagined.
The Released Paravida wolves have started to breed with the natural pack, this, in turn, brings alarm to the town and the National Guard move in putting the wolves in danger.
While Luc and Nessa try to keep the wolves and town folk safe, Nessa also learns the truth of who her father is.
This book is a rollercoaster ride as Nessa tries to help her mum, the wolves, and deal with school and the gossip surrounding her mum's arrest, she finds that she has the strength and the heart to deal with insurmountable stress and still comes up fighting.
It's refreshing to read a book where the heroine doesn't need to rely on a guy to save her, she's perfectly capable of saving herself.
Nessa's relationship with her best friend is also a refreshing change for YA books. She's supportive and helps not only with the wolf issues but also helps Nessa adjust to being set adrift from all she knew.
I really enjoyed re-reading this series and I am starting Book 3 today.
