A young woman in need of a transformation finds herself in touch with the animal inside in this gripping, incisive novel from the author of Cackle and The Return.

Rory Morris isn't thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, even if it is temporary. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby's father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she'd put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she's attacked.

Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She's unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver--and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She's changing into someone else--something else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean she's putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance?

This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.

I’ll try and jump in on this one

9 chapters

wow (view spoiler)[ my heart hurts for her. here we are again, she has a secret - something she knows to be true
and her sister won't believe her. in her defense, it's a tough secret
but honestly, why can't she just believe her? roll with it?

and Scarlet's keeping an awful lot of secrets herself

I like Ian. Still can't help but hope he's the werewolf
or maybe Mia? I'm undecided but really hope for Ian. otherwise, how can they be together? (hide spoiler)]

and I'm done

this one was fun (view spoiler)[ ha! I thought it might be Mia. she'd dropped some hints and she never had a jacket either! lol

I loved her with Ian - so cute! I'm glad she and Scarlett started really talking too (hide spoiler)]

I'll be getting to this one today...I HOPE! We are just SO darn busy with business stuff that it's starting to drive me nuts! lol

oh no!! lol It's a fast read so it will go quick once you grab it! AND I think you'll really like it!! It's such a super cute read!

Through Ch. 6

(view spoiler)[I also love them too! Ian seems "perfect" and I wonder if he's the one who bit her. I can't believe all of the things Rory went through in her childhood! All of the flashbacks were hard to read, and I think she was "gracious" to her mother for just keeping her distant. I feel for her. (hide spoiler)]

Through Ch. 11

(view spoiler)[The sex handcuffs! lol Oh my gosh! Then the rats, rat teeth and all the rat stuff...awful but kinda cool too. lol I thought that transformation was awesome. Scarlett is more and more suspicious to me and annoying me as well. She seems very selfish and a lot like her mother...glad SHE's gone! (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[I agree with you regarding Scarlet and her sister. You always want family to be able to build on their relationships. I did think the ending was rather anticlimactic. It was definitely more of an everybody-is-happy ending than I expected. I really did enjoy this one. (hide spoiler)]

YAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one too!!

Thanks, Trisha. Horror is hit and miss for me, but I thought this one was very good.

Finished
(view spoiler)[I didn't like this one very much, I thought Rory and Scarlett were cold and selfish. I understand the childhood trauma aspect, we did meet their mother and learn the lack of care she had, but I still didn't like them. I don't know. The writing was choppy and rough for me. If the story is good and i love the characters i can overlook the writing most of the time, but in this instance it really bothered me. (hide spoiler)]
