When will I learn to stop thinking things can’t get any worse? After losing her husband and child, losing her humanity to a wendigo attack and being shackled to a couple of shadowy monster hunters, Tess just assumed life was done throwing her curve balls. She was wrong. Strange creatures are flocking to her for protection from a new hunter who insists Tess and her ghoul are abominations that are better off dead. Her pet bird might be a ghost, death is whispering in her ear and it seems Tess isn’t quite done turning into a monster. That’s just the tip of the ice burg. If people don’t stop talking about ridiculous things like responsibility and love, she just might lose her mind. Caught between humanity and darkness, Tess learns the hard way that not all humans are good, not all monsters are bad and not all stories have a happy ending.

Stalked by death. Hunted by the one I love. How much more can one girl take? Unable to sustain herself without the risk of tainting other humans with her infectious bite, Tess is losing herself to the wendigo madness. New allies bring new hope, but relying on the magic of strangers has its own dangers—and even that might not be enough to save her life. Or the lives of the others who rely on her for protection. All the while the hunters move closer, bent on destroying the unseen creatures of the shadowed forests…simply because they exist. War is coming to her doorstep, and there is nothing Tess can do to stop it. Tess once again finds herself torn between the monsters and the humans. Between death and life. And between trust and betrayal. \*The Wendigo Girl series is a series of short novels between 40,000-50,000 words with elements of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and occasional light horror.
