Georgiana Smith's drama free summer could only last so long, considering were animals are in discussions to welcome were insects into their community, and politics and personal issues become intertwined as decisions have to be made.
As the Five, now accepted beings of their society, are asked to help some of the Council representatives who welcome their support, they are attacked, causing an at first irreparable damage that changes the course of everyone's lives.
Georgiana, along with her friends, must not only try to figure out who she was, who she is, and who she wants to be, but must also figure out what her place is in a society that is at times accepting and at other times violent and cruel.
And a string of murders brings weres together and tears relationships apart as the Council tries to keep matters from escalating, while the Five find themselves in the middle of the situation, whether they want to be or not.

In the fifth book of the series, the Five must figure out who their allies are as their personal lives are shaken to the core.

Excerpt
1

The summer holidays had been hassle free, which was exactly what Georgiana Smith and her friends had needed following the previous year’s significant events.
It was a sunny Sunday afternoon as Matthew Brownstone drove to Woodbridge, the were school where Georgiana would be attending her junior year. She was looking forward to it, to continue learning about her true heritage, to meet classmates she hadn’t seen in months, and to get back into a peaceful routine.
Georgiana closed her dark green, almost black eyes that had yellow specks around the irises as she enjoyed the sun’s rays bathing hear heart-shaped face. Her high cheekbones were reddish against her beige complexion because of the sunbathing she’d done with her adopted sister Faith, and her full lips formed a small smile. Her short, wavy hazel hair fell loose, barely reaching her shoulders, and her legs were propped on the dashboard. Being five foot five, her knees bent, her feet were resting as opposed to taking over the area.
“We’re almost there,” Matthew’s pleased voice told her, even if she already knew.
Her heightened senses had given the location away, as other cars, human voices, and the distinct scents that were exuded from the school were unmistakable.
Georgiana sat up and looked at her father. He was four inches taller than she was, he had black hair that was cropped short, had a medium nose, thin lips, a cleft chin and sharp cheekbones. His complexion, which was darker than Georgiana’s, also had a bronze look to it from the time spent outdoors. Georgiana had inherited her strange eyes from him, and even if almost a whole year had gone by since she’d gotten her first glimpse into who and what she really was, it still struck her as odd to see a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties as her father. Then again, she had grown up thinking her parents to be dead or not wanting her, so even if her new life was an adjustment, she welcomed it.
“I’ll drive as close as I can and then we’ll take it from there,” he told her.
“It’s fine, we can carry the bags,” one of the perks of being a were was the added strength, plus the resilience.
“I know, but if we can avoid your things getting dirty…” Matthew told her.
Over the summer holidays he’d gone through surgery to get a bullet removed from his spine, and the possibility of moving around hassle-free made him grateful every time he needed to do something he hadn’t been able to do before.
“Okay,” Georgiana nodded once as the car continued its path, the narrow road growing more and more enveloped by trees and bushes, appearing unwelcoming for humans.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When I look back at any time in my life, there’s always a book or notebook around. I grew up surrounded by books (I inherited my parents’ voraciousness for literature), and at some point of my youth I also started writing my own stories.

I have a terrible memory, but I distinctly remember using my father’s typewriter to create fictional stories. They were short and sometimes they were just a re-telling of a TV show I was watching at the time.

But, nonetheless, the reading and writing stuck around.

As a teen I went through reading phases (I only read Agatha Christie for a whole year), and as I got older, I started reading different genres and authors. At school, I loved creative writing assignments and was once told by a teacher that given the lengths of what I wrote, I would be taking her weekend away. I also wrote a short novel at 11 or so, and though I’d be embarrassed to read it now because it must have had a bucketload of errors, I remember receiving support at school.

I became an Editor (Universidad de Buenos Aires) and then earned a Master’s Degree in English Language (Universidad de Belgrano), and after some work experience at different publishing houses, I spent all of ten minutes realizing that instead of devoting myself 100% to editing others’ novels, I would rather spend some time on writing my own.

I officially decided to become a writer at 26, and while at first I published under a pseudonym (Abby Barly), I finally started with The Last Summer and then decided to work on The Five series (after I got my eldest niece to read them and approve their publishing).

Now I can’t see myself doing anything other than what I’m doing, which is something I love.

4.0 out of 5 stars can two were groups become one?

The were animals are in discussions to welcome the were insects into their community and are considering a merger. There are oppositions on both sides and soon a were insect is accused of murdering a were animal; escalating an already intense situation. If that isn’t bad enough, Georgiana gets caught in the cross fires giving her amnesia and causing her to forget the last year. This causes a great deal of emotional despair as she cannot remember her relationship with Ryan and only knows that she had some relationship conflicts with Henry.

To try and not dwell on what she can’t remember, Georgiana and the five decide to focus their efforts and energies on solving the attacks on were animals and trying to keep the conflict between were animals and were insects from escalating.

This is the fifth book in The five saga and is filled with lots of action, adventure, suspense, and emotional upheaval. The Five are faced with having to trust their instincts, forge their bounds, and continue to work together to keep the were animal world from falling apart.
