Shifting

By Bethany Wiggins

Book Overview

After bouncing from foster home to foster home, Magdalene Mae is transferred to what should be her last foster home in the tiny town of Silver City, New Mexico. Now that she's eighteen and has only a year left in high school, she's determined to stay out of trouble and just be normal. Agreeing to go to the prom with Bridger O'Connell is a good first step. Fitting in has never been her strong suit, but it's not for the reasons most people would expect-it all has to do with the deep secret that she is a shape shifter. But even in her new home danger lurks, waiting in the shadows to pounce. They are the Skinwalkers of Navajo legend, who have traded their souls to become the animal whose skin they wear-and Maggie is their next target. Full of romance, mysticism, and intrigue, this dark take on Navajo legend will haunt readers to the final page.

Customer Reviews

Nothing outstanding, but unique and very enjoyable.

I love this book. I don’t think it’s an amazing book but I just love it. The Native American lore and stuff was really interesting and I love stories about shape shifting. The side characters are super likeable. Started to get tired of the emotional rollercoaster Maggie was always on, but it wasn’t too bad, and maybe that’s just me not vibing with hormonal teen characters very much anymore haha.
