in short

Lila Crain moves to the foreboding country town of Shade after her mum’s divorce/semi breakdown. The town has a curfew and is surrounded by myths about wolves. Lila has her guard up as she attends the eerie local high school, there she meets the petite and lovable Giny and discovers that she has popular friends. The enigmatic Sam, Lily, Bianca, Jackson, Reid and Sky.

Reid has a wolfish grin and amber eyes that would make any girl blush and has his sights set on the new girl in school. Introduced to the clique and invited to the river – Lila finally feels like she belongs and she begins to date Reid.
When Lila is warned by the quirky Cresida James to stay away at all costs, she is suspicious but skeptical. Against her better judgement Lila joins the popular kids. After being thrillingly introduced to the nightlife she is persuaded to join their dance group. But the situation threatens to turn sour when she unwittingly develops feelings for the leader’s off-limits boyfriend, Sky. Jealousy runs rife and at practice one morning Lila is attacked suddenly by a member of the clique who morphs into a wolf – the red haired, Lily – who is shot dead in front of her. Lila is saved by crazy Cresida – maybe she isn’t so nuts after all. This event forever changes things for hunter & hunted as Lila learns they have been waiting for her. Lila tries to break it off with Reid but he isn’t getting the message and she is conflicted as her crippling crush on Sky grows everyday. Lily’s death is painted as a suicide and Lila learns after the funeral that she was the one who turned Reid.
Hostility between Reid and Sky seems high and they get into a fight. Sam takes Lila home and tells her that it is over between her and Reid and that she is out of the group. Lila is determined to find a way back in, despite what she knows.
Then Sky surprisingly reciprocates Lila’s unmet desires when he climbs in her window after fighting with Reid to seemingly check that she is okay and they fall in love. Enraging Sam, the leader. Sam tries to bite Lila but she is saved just in time by Cres and Sky. In the aftermath Sky goes missing to seek help for his injuries. Lila soon realizes that she is chosen by Artemis to keep the wolves in check and everything makes sense – her urges to exercise, her never ending energy and increasing strength. Cresida must train Lila to take her place as the next huntress of Shade.

While training Lila is told that Sky is dead…
