The Pack

Shifters are unknown to the human world, with the exception of a secret organization—the EOS, referred to as “hunters.” Hunters capture and kill. Some shifters are taken to labs for testing—a place they will never leave—others are deemed useless, a danger to society, and are killed. Shifters travel in packs, constantly moving, and keep themselves hidden to avoid discovery.

Horse shifter Flo now travels in a wild pack with what remains of the shape-shifter circus she once performed in. She, bear shifter Jett, and the others seek a new home—somewhere they can feel safe and protected—and a fresh start. As they grow closer to this goal, someone who betrayed them in the past returns to ruin their best hope of finding a secure future.

With no memory of life before the circus, Flo, an orphan like the others, is unsure how to live in this new world. But then she’s presented with news: one of her relatives is alive. The discovery comes at a cost, but Flo and her friends will do anything to rescue family, even if it means facing the hunters again.


Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

"Just like The Wanderers, I found The Pack to be a real roller-coaster ride, tautly plotted and with a denouement that took my breath away. The settings were atmospheric and vivid; I loved meeting new characters as well as seeing some familiar faces, and I thought the Laughing Girls in particular were brilliantly depicted—they sent chills down my spine! The nail-biting story, coupled with Kate's wonderfully readable style of writing, makes The Pack a page-turning and memorable read. I can't wait to add it to my bookshelf and I wish it all the success it so richly deserves." - Emma Pass
