Crossroads by Jonathan Lister\

About the front:
This is a spooky cover. There are eyes in the water! What really draws me in is the color. The purple is wicked. I love how the whole thing is saturated in blues and purples like it’s nighttime out there. And the moon is there too. So we’ve got a city, something in the water and the moon. There has to be a connection. Has to. This definitely has the thriller/suspense feel which from the info about the book seems to fit.

Now let’s look at what the back says:

Werewolf. Bar bouncer. Dad. Standard traits for any self-respecting, reformed criminal, living under the radar in Demos City. For Leon Gray, normal is what he wants—for himself and his not-yet-changed teenage daughter.

Playing bodyguard to crusading reporter David Hastings would totally ruin Leon’s peace, especially since Hastings has hired killers on his trail, pros who know how he takes his espresso in the morning, and where Leon lives.

The payoff, though, would fill up Shauna’s empty college fund, and in a battle between opportunity and ordinary, money wins. He just has to keep Hastings alive long enough to cash the check.

If only he didn’t have to save his daughter, too.

As a budding wolf, she’s piqued the interest of a local pack Alpha—one Leon knows will steal Shauna right out from under him the first chance he gets.

Leon isn’t about to give up on his daughter or Hastings, and will fight for both longer than it took Demos City to see werewolves as equals to humans.

He can only hope it doesn’t take a thousand years.

Does it match? Front to Back without the in between?

Werewolf.

Ooh! Is that what’s in the water??? Look at those eyes.

Bar bouncer. Dad. Standard traits for any self-respecting, reformed criminal, living under the radar in Demos City.

Criminal? Oooh!

For Leon Gray, normal is what he wants—for himself and his not-yet-changed teenage daughter.

Oh so totally werewolf and I love that there’s a dad reference!

And more dad goodies! I’m liking Leon already. He’s got his priorities straight but it’s going to be dangerous. This is awesome.

If only he didn’t have to save his daughter, too.

Oh no! What’s she gonna do? Darn those teenagers!

As a budding wolf, she’s piqued the interest of a local pack Alpha—one Leon knows will steal Shauna right out from under him the first chance he gets.

Go get her, Leon!

Leon isn’t about to give up on his daughter or Hastings, and will fight for both longer than it took Demos City to see werewolves as equals to humans.

Yeah!

He can only hope it doesn’t take a thousand years.

Ooh, well that sounds ominous … much like the look of the cover.

Does it match?
Yes! I love it.

Will I read it?
Yes!
