Description
“I look forward to the next book to see how Nessa’s story continues to unfold.”
–YABooksCentral, on Weregirl
“There’s a new teen wolf in town and this time it’s a GIRL. An empowering, refreshing female twist on the werewolf mythology. This is way better than Twilight.”
–Laura Pyle, Environmental Health News, on Weregirl
The thrilling sequel to C. D. Bell’s bestselling novel, Weregirl that Teen Vogue called “a must-read YA book of the month.”
The
forest is full of secrets.
Nessa Kurland is transforming with ease, her
boyfriend Luc is a fellow shifter, and Paravida, the corporation responsible
for the unethical genetic experiments on the residents of her hometown, Tether,
has pulled out of town.
But there isn’t peace in paradise for long.
Catastrophe strikes as the FBI raids Nessa’s house, arresting Nessa’s mother, Vivian, with charges that are deadly serious: she’s held without bail and declared a threat to Homeland Security. Vivian’s secret past as a top genetic researcher has earth-shattering implications that lead Nessa to confront the truth of who she is, where she comes from, and what she has to do to survive.
In Chimera, the forces of magic, science, and nature converge to set in motion the first battle of an epic war... with Nessa at the heart of it.

Heartbroken? Hopeful? I don't know how to feel. A great story, well written and an emotional roller coaster. The ending was so sad, even the little hope given, couldn't help me feeling much better. A must read and highly recommended. I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thanks to NetGalley and Chooseco!

teen/paranormal
This story starts right where Weregirl left off. This story picks up steam as it goes and by the end is a full blown locomotive. There are twists and turns and secrets and lies. We get a whole new cast of friends and enemies and are not sure where a few of them fall. We find out more about Nessa’s family and there are a few surprises there. This story left me panting for the final book in the trilogy.

Nessa is becoming more accustomed to transforming into a wolf. She spends time running with her boyfriend, Luc, who shifts into a wolf as well. But Luc has been shifting longer and feels his destiny is one day to remain a wolf and not transform back. Nessa’s world is turned upside down on the day the FBI descend, search their home, and arrest her mother for crimes Nessa feels couldn’t possibly have happened. Nessa discovers there is so much more to the story than she could have imagined. She now has to learn why she was chosen to save the wolves and what is her destiny. I so loved this book and cannot wait to start the third one now!

“Chimera”, the second book in the Weregirl trilogy by C. D. Bell, was just a good as her first, if not better. There is romance, adventure, secrets revealed, tragedy, and perseverance.
Nessa Kurland is running with the pack along with her boyfriend, Luc, who is also a wolf.
Learning to control her transformations more easily and what it mean to be part of nature. What it means to just run free.
Things seem to fall apart as Nessa’s Vet-tech mother is arrested by the FBI on serious charges. Nessa will find out her mother is not who she though she was. That her wealthy father was into weird science and that he had genetically created a daughter from materials from her sister and other animals.
With so much going on you will not want to put this book down until it is finished.

…and the baton has been handed off without missing a step! C.D. Bell really picked up the pace with CHIMERA and things are changing for the small town of Tether. The monsters that performed unethical genetic experiments have slithered off and things are looking up, for the most part, but…
Nessa, now well-adjusted as a werewolf, is now dealing with some shocking news. The FBI has come to town and her mother is under arrest as a threat to Homeland Security. What secrets has she been hiding? How is Nessa’s long gone father involved? What is happening in the woods with the genetically altered wolves? Is the town of Tether about to become ground zero for a war between species?
Nessa will need to gather her wits, her guts and her determination to save her new pack, hold on to her new boyfriend and uncover who her father is. It’s time for truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but what will it do to Nessa and her family?
The plot thickens and simmers and boils over as C.D. Bell holds nothing back in the shock department and Nessa handles it all with that irrepressible teen attitude! The action never stops, the tension is ratcheted up and razor taut as a heroine steps up to the plate once again for those she cares about!
Fast, furious and intense! What a fabulous read with a high octane plot! A wonderful teen/young adult read!

An update of the werewolf society and science gone wrong. Clearly geared for the YA audience. There is a young couple who feature throughout when the young female protagonist is not trying to fix her family's problems.
