B. Kristin McMichael has created such a unique and intriguing world with Water and Blood!Whitney grew up in the night human world as a skinwalker, but was cast out to live with her aunt when she lost her shifting abilities. As an outcast her entire life, she feels like she'll never truly fit in, but starts to enjoy living in the day human world among other day humans. After a year as a normal human, her world is turned upside down yet again and she's forced into a night human world she was taught to believe was extinct.Water and Blood has strong main characters in Whitney and Sam, and I LOVE the alternating narratives from the two. My favorite books have MCs with strength, stubbornness, and compassion. This is obviously one of my new favorites and it will be yours, too. Excuse me while I start book 2, Songs and Fins, immediately.
