'To some, Meg Banks’ life might look perfect – she lives in a huge
house in West London, goes to a prestigious school and has famous
parents. Only Meg knows the truth: her tyrannical mother rules the house
and her shallow friends can talk about nothing but boys and drinking.
Meg’s only escape is her secret life as a graffiti artist.
While out tagging one night, Meg witnesses the dying moments of a
fox… a fox that shapeshifts into a man. As he dies, he gives Meg a
beautiful and mysterious gemstone. Soon Meg realises that she’s also
inherited his power to shift and finds an incredible new freedom in fox
form.
She is plunged into the shadowy underworld of London, the territory
of the five warring groups of shapeshifters – the Skulk, the Rabble,
the Conspiracy, the Horde, and the Cluster. Someone is after her
gemstone, someone who can twist nature to his will. Meg must discover
the secret of the stone and unite the shapeshifters before her dream of
freedom turns into a nightmare.' - from Strange Chemistry
Gahhh! This just sounds so amazing and is quite possibly one of my most anticipated books of the year! I love foxes, and especially foxes in mythology - Kitsune anybody? - so can't wait to see how Rosie Best describes her shapeshifting foxes! I would like it to be October now, either that or the book fairy to wave a magic wand...
What are you waiting for this week?
This sounds really interesting. I love the idea of different shapeshifter groups. I haven't seen this one around before, so thanks for pointing it out! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never heard of this before, but it's intriguing! I like the different shapeshifter organization names, it's really cool!
ReplyDeleteThat fox cover art is fabulous! And Kitsune? I'd heard of them in Vampire Diaries Books! But I am more than happy to read about them! And this one looks too delish to leave it ! Thanks for sharing this Gem to us Book lovers !!
