Jemmela in the Ruff (The Jemmela Books)

By Margot Honey

Jemmela Burch is a young woman who had a tough start in the foster system, yet she's doing fine on her own, or so she thinks. There's the occasional black out, followed by job loss, usually because the location is now closed for structural repairs. After her last gig in a sandwich shop ends with a drunk on the roof, she is forcibly enrolled in the werewolf educational system. Their philosophy: Educate, or Eliminate. It's not cruelty, it's survival in a world where normal humans object to things supernatural or unexplained. These objections tending to be projectile in nature, the Were world wants to stay as quiet as inhumanly possible.Jemmela's hampered by her age, Were-school attended by teenagers, generally, and by her size. She has a rough start at Breckenridge, the premiere school for werewolves in the United States, and on the verge of terminal expulsion, she is 'rescued' by the same werewolf who kidnapped her, Warren Stall. Certain she can learn, he takes over for her previous instructor, a woman who is more psychologist than educator, named Karen Westfall.Warren has Teacher written on the inside of his eyelids, and Trainer shoots out when he sneezes. He is determined to convince Jemmela that werewolves are real, a real hazard, and to be an out of control Were is a danger to herself and all society. Jemmela's willing, but she's like no pupil he has ever had before. He's not certain if his skills can match, or even keep up with, her too human attitude, her general were-ignorance, and her ability for casual destruction.Jemmela in the Ruff is a girl-meets-boy werewolf story, with a boarding school angle, secret society, and strange new rules that hover within our real world. It has tongue-in-cheek humor, some of it finely slapstick, and is the first of a series.
