Now that they've awakened, Caleb and Gabriel have the unenviable task of bringing their packs together and figuring out how to lead as co-alphas. Even with the support of some of their closest allies, there's no way for them to predict how the rest of the pack will react to their leadership. Before they can settle into their new roles, a murder on the Awakened Council draws the young alphas further into the world of the Awakened than either of them wanted.

After traveling to Croatia, the young couple tries to help figure out what happened to the slain Council member and becomes the target of a fresh round of attacks. Until they figure out who's behind them, they're forced to remain with the Council and risk their lives to save the others. To discover the truth, Caleb and Gabriel are pushed to their physical and emotional limits and must learn what it takes to lead in a world based on staying hidden. Unfortunately, the cost of those lessons may be more than either of them was prepared to pay.

Challenged is the second half of the Awakened series, a young adult paranormal fantasy series that combines humor, horror, and same-sex love. It’s the shifter book other shifter books wish they could be, and it will make you want to live in the world of the Awakened, even if only for a moment.

About the Author

Kenneth Creech writes young adult LGBTQ+ fiction where the main characters don't have to come out. Growing up in a small town in Arizona prompted his love of reading at a young age. Having read countless books featuring characters who struggled to come to terms with their identity, he decided to write about LGBTQ+ characters who were already themselves and could struggle with something else.Kenneth began writing in high school and was included in the 2001 nonfiction anthology, Coming Out Young and Faithful. He wrote and published the Awakened duology and the short story "What I Now Know" in the award-winning anthology Queer for the New Year (2022). In his free time, he's taught sociology, helped hundreds of high schoolers get into college, acted as an advisor for several gay-straight alliances, and planned quite a few weddings for other people. Kenneth lives in Texas with his husband.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
