I Am Lily, Hear Me Roar by Monica L. Seibert [--------------------------------------------]

In ultra-cool Los Angeles, can two freshman girls remain best friends despite a tidal wave of high school drama, or does growing up mean leaving some friends behind?

Despite her endless attempts to pull Blair Braden back into hunter life, Lily Walker and Blaire are fast becoming friends. The only thing they don't see eye-to-eye on is Blair's retirement. And Blair is retired, thanks very much. But when Pearl Walker, aka Granny Ice Queen, aka the matriarch of the hunters, selects Blair to be the new liaison between the shifters and the hunters, Blair's hiatus from hunting is no longer permanent. When Pearl says 'jump', nobody keeps their feet on the ground. Not even the long-retired Blair. As Blair scrambles out of retirement, she finds herself having insanely powerful visions and an irresistible desire to help the objects of them. As soon as she meets the man in her first vision, she can't stop thinking about him. The handsome alpha wolf wants nothing to do with her, but at least she can help save his pack. These are precisely the kinds of complications she has no inclination for. Meanwhile, Lily seems intent on keeping up with Reed, the second-in-command of Lachlan's wolf pack. The chip on his shoulder really ought to deter her, but after attending her first pack shift, Lily is hooked on Reed and the pack. And speaking of the pack, Lachlan's now acting weird. Meggan knows why, but she's not telling. Blair will get to the bottom of it, or else her bestie baby daddy will have to tangle with her new familiar-slash-annoyance. Time to find out if Gil the gnome can do more than just keep Blair on her toes.
