This is Shyness series by Leanne Hall

A guy who howls. A girl on a mission to forget. In the suburb of Shyness, where the sun doesn’t rise and the border crackles with a strange energy, Wolfboy meets a stranger at the Diabetic Hotel. She tells him her name is Wildgirl, and she dares him to be her guide through the endless night. But then they are mugged by the sugar-crazed Kidds. And what plays out is moving, reckless...dangerous. There are things that can only be said in the dark. And one long night is time enough to change your life.
The dark is dangerous. So is the past. So are your dreams. For six months Nia—Wildgirl—has tried to forget Wolfboy, the mysterious boy she spent one night with in Shyness—the boy who said he'd call but didn't. Then Wolfboy calls. The things he tells her pull her back to the suburb of Shyness, where the sun doesn't rise and dreams and reality are difficult to separate. There, Doctor Gregory has seemingly disappeared, the Darkness is changing and Wolfboy's friend is in trouble. And Nia decides to become Wildgirl once more. 

The sequel to the 2009 Text Prize-winning This Is Shyness is about the difficulty of recreating the past—about how the Darkness no longer sets Wolfboy and Wildgirl free.

Leanne Hall lives in Melbourne and works as a children’s specialist at an independent bookstore. She is the 2009 winner of the Text Childrens and Young Adult Writing Prize, with This Is Shyness, her first novel. She has far too many future books living in her head to ever consider a sensible, full-time job

Imi place titlul seriei vazand coperta cu cele doua maini m.am gandit la o persoana care are nevoie de "suport" moral si cineva ajutand.o( am impresia ca am multa imaginatie azi hhihi) , probabil cu toti ne.am intanlit cu un moment in viata care sa ne demoralizeze, sa cadem intr.o stare depresiva si intr.un final sa ne inchidem ca intr.o "minunata cochilie" si sa primim "titlul" de persoana timida.
Mie da ..am patit.o dar am trecut peste. asemenea unui fluturas,care iese din coconul lui mi.am deschis aripile increzatoare.

mi se pare foarte intersanta descrierea cartii, si personajele au nume interesante.

Eu ador copertile. Imi plac mult chiar daca par simple fata de alte coperti. Descrierea imi atrage atentia, adica nu m-ar deranja s-o citesc.

de obicei imi plac copertile simple..dar acestea parca nu imi atrag atentia deloc:(...insa cum citesti descrierea carti ai o alta parere despre ea ...imi place:)

Nici mie nu mi-au atras copertile atentia in mod deosebit dar sunt dragutele totusi, nu trebuie sa fie prea colorate si impopotonate. Cat despre serie.. mi se pare ok, interesanta, n-as spune nu:)
