13 to Life was a pretty good read and I am looking forward to reading the follow up because to say that 13 to Life ended with some loose ends would be, well, very accurate! 🙂
I received this ARC from the publisher, St. Martin’s Griffin.

Overall
An original spin on the young adult paranormal romance with some intense scenes. Could have been slightly better but I’ll be looking forward to the next book.
Something strange is stalking the small town of Junction…
When junior Jess Gillmansen gets called out of class by Guidance, she can only presume it’s for one of two reasons. Either they’ve finally figured out who wrote the scathing anti-jock editorial in the school newspaper or they’re hosting yet another intervention for her about her mom. Although far from expecting it, she’s relieved to discover Guidance just wants her to show a new student around—but he comes with issues of his own including a police escort.
The newest member of Junction High, Pietr Rusakova has secrets to hide–secrets that will bring big trouble to the small town of Junction—secrets including dramatic changes he’s undergoing that will surely end his life early.
