    About this ebook

    LEAP BOOKS LLC is celebrating the release of the third book in the SKINNED series, SKIN OF MY TEETH, by offering the first book, UNDER MY SKIN, free here - for a limited time. We hope you enjoy and continue following Eryn as she fights her inner demons, caught between life as a shapeshifter and life as a human!

    All her parents wanted was for Eryn to live a normal life...

    Redgrave had its share of monsters before Eryn moved to town. Mauled pets, missing children. The Delacroix family is taking the blame, but Eryn knows the truth. Something stalks the night. Wade, the police chief's son and Redgrave High's resident hottie, warns her the Delacroix are dangerous. But then so is Eryn--in fact, she's lethal.
    But she can't help falling for one of the Delacroix boys, dark, brooding--human Alec. And then her world falls apart.
    A normal life? Now that's the real fairytale.

      Eryn's parents have disappeared, so she is sent to live with her aunt, uncle and cousin in Redgrave, Alberta. There's something no one knows about her, though - she is half-human, half-wolven (wolven are born, werewolves are turned). Her mother was wolven and her father was a paranormal hunter. He kept Eryn's wolven side under control with various drugs he'd concocted. With him gone, however, Eryn no longer has access to those drugs. In Redgrave, she meets and becomes friends with Brit, a goth girl, and falls for one of the town outcasts, Alec Delacroix. Then, she meets and is also drawn to the hot boy at school, Wade. Unfortunately, Eryn has arrived in Redgrave as people and pets are disappearing with no explanation. And, there are more secrets in this town than Eryn's alone. I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading the next in the series. I liked the characters, especially Eryn and Brit. Even though this is a YA book, there were a few illustrations present that I quite liked; in one instance, it helped me picture something I'm not sure I would have otherwise. And there is a very cool illustrated border on each page, as well.

      Originally posted on Lovey Dovey BooksUnder My Skin equals dark, mysterious, and just plain humorous! Judith Graves surprised me with a down to earth heroine with a knack for witty sarcasm and...er, violence. I couldn't get enough of Eryn's spunk, even when her human side clashed with the beastly side she had a way with words.Eryn is sent to the out-of-the-way town, Redgrave, supposedly to stay away from paranorm trouble while the Council searches for her 'dead' parents. While running a race in the woods during gym class, Eryn is stalked by a dirty werewolf and from here the story completely evolves. There's more to Redgrave than Eryn was led to believe and she's roped up into a mission with a rogue team of hunters to find the bottom of paranorm increase in the small town.Under My Skin is filled with all the elements to make a fun teen read: wit, romance, action, and of course, mystery. I should put most emphasis on mystery because there are still some aspects of the novel that haven't been explained. It seems that Eryn's new hunter friends, Alec, Matt, and Brit are not all they seem. While some of their secrets are outed, Alec, Matt, and especially Eryn still have some explaining to do. So far, only a few dark creatures have been introduced, but I have a feeling Graves has many more hiding up her sleeve."He smelled of sweet spice and possibilities. He dipped his head. His lips drifted slowly down to mine. The heat of his breath feathered over my sensitive skin. I grabbed his coat collar and pulled myself onto my toes, wanting his kiss and wanting it fast." Under My Skin (Kindle Locations 1505-1507)The romance aspect of the novel has a different approach. Eryn isn't afraid to admit her attraction to the two men she meets, but either choice she makes can have a negative effect on her life and the life of those around her. Already, Graves is building a complex love story and fortunately, it doesn't outshine the main plot. There are so many more developments I'm looking forward to in the next installment, Second Skin. I have a feeling that it'll be even more revealing and action-packed!*ebook provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review*

      Don't let the drawings in this book fool you or misguide you. At first I wasn't sure if I would like the book or not, but I'm glad that I bought it because I loved it! This book as everything supernatural you could think about from werewolves to vampires and things in between. I can't wait for the next book to come out. The characters are very likable except for Eryn's cousin who I wanted to disappear forever. You have a love triangle and a mystery. So go pick up this book and read it in one night like I did.

      Have you ever had a secret that you couldn't share? Eryn has a few secrets that she is trying to keep from her new friends. Worried about how they would take the news that she is much different from them, she tries her best to keep the secrets deep inside. Little does she know the town she now calls home has many of it's own deep, dark issues too.Eryn is a tough cookie, always showing off that she doesn't need anyone's help, but deep down she's like every other girl – needing to fit in and feel loved. She accidentally stumbles across the secret that her friends have been keeping from her and joins forces with the misfits, Brit, Matt and the ever drool-worthy Alec. While her friendship with the misfits is growing, Wade the coolest kid in school, starts sniffing around and making her friends second guess their importance in Eryn's life.Once you turn the first page, you won't want to stop, as you are drawn into the happenings in Redgrave. This is such a well written novel, with characters you can relate to and teenage issues you can remember dealing yourself, except Eryn and the gang have the added touch of paranormal to the mix. A few characters (no spoilers) seemed a little ho-hum at the beginning, but I know you will change your mind about them by the end of the book, as you see their secrets revealed.I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! Will everyone's secrets survive the chaos in Redgrave?------------------------This review is set to be posted on AURORA reviews under the reviewer name of Snowdrop
