Series: Bite Risk

When everyone's a vicious beast, it's hard to spot the monsters . . .

Beware of the Turned in the first book in a blockbuster teen horror for fans of Skulduggery Pleasant and Stranger Things.

'A riotously absorbing horror-comedy for readers of 12 and up.' – Guardian

Sel Archer lives in a normal town with normal residents, except for one night a month . . . When the full moon comes out, almost all of the adults turn into werewolves, and it's up to the young people to protect themselves from danger.

But, as this quiet life begins to unravel, and the Turned start to escape, can Sel and his friends uncover exactly who – or what – is watching their every move, before it's too late?

Welcome, to the TOWN OF THE TURNED.
