The Slither Queen - Lawrence Tamera

Rachel was born with the mark of the serpent and as such, can alter into a magnificent beast. Life isn't easy for a teenager with escalating powers, nor for one with a chip on her shoulder. Rachel's troubled youth haunts her. When her childhood scar begins to pulsate, Rachel is perplexed as it invokes old terrors. The mystery deepens when an infant hybrid is kidnapped, and the child's serpent can telepathically take over Rachel's serpent as it seeks help in protecting the girl. As this serpent wreaks havoc with Rachel's free will, she is turned into a predator at the whim of another, becoming dangerous to herself and to others. Rachel must find the missing girl and stop the evil serpents holding her captive. The sect intends to sacrifice the girl to an underground Lord, who is coming for his annual offering. Rachel is hardly equipped to combat the ancient serpent, even with love interest Gabe Richards by her side. With no choice but to face this evil, Rachel's fate is sealed, but in order to do so, she must become prey, herself. As she becomes a pawn in a wicked snare, her inner serpent is stirred into action. Submission is not an option. Ties to a primitive queen run deep in Rachel's veins. As Rachel's human side succumbs to captivity, destiny takes the upper hand. For deep in the earth's core, she can either lose her humanity forever or unleash her serpent in ultimate reprisal.
