Hearts of Prey

Shaka Reed is an outsider, not only because she struggles to relate to other young women, but because she has a secret ability that sets her apart: she can shape-shift into a wolf. In the deep woods of her Northern Minnesota home, never does she feel more herself than when she is running through the forest on animal feet. She has only shared her secret with her grandfather, not her lifelong friend Rena or the charming new stranger who keeps turning up in her path. But despite her discretion, her secret is out, and the wrong people know. Now a corrupt research scientist has made it his life's work to give this supernatural ability to those born without it, but at a horrible cost to Shaka and those like her. Suddenly Shaka finds herself with no choice but to embrace her true nature if she is going to stop him from turning her people into test subjects.
