A witty, moving tale of monsters and modern life from the award-winning author of Cackle and The Return. For readers looking for a story of sisterhood, complicated families and love with a bit more bite... Rory Morris isn't thrilled to be moving back to her hometown. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant 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 Ian, 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. But does that mean she's putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside her the key to acceptance? This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.

3.5 (rounded up)I really enjoyed the werewolf aspects of this book. The descriptions of the changes in Rory, both physical and mental, were done well. The characters were also likeable and their wry sarcasm (mostly Rory, Scarlett and Ian) spoke to me. The sibling bond between the main character and her twin sister felt very authentic and believable.This book, however, doesn't feel very horror-esque even though it's categorised into horror genre. It focuses more on trauma, anger, change, complicated family relationships and romance. It feels like a story of healing and acceptance with some horror/supernatural elements.All in all, this is an easy and entertaining read. Just don't go into it expecting thrills or blood-curdling suspense.
