Santiago's extended stay in the crystal shop is painfully relatable in the modern day… It is so easy to focus on working towards a goal that you completely forget what you’re even working for in the first place.

Yeah it just doesn’t get better…

Oh boy. We just jump right in to it, huh?

How did I let this book sit in my TBR for so long? The concept of being born a werewolf is vs being infected is unique, with the levels of control and humanity varying. Sad Eyes sound terrifying… I am a bit worried for Libby and if the same rules apply to her IYKYK.

This is an addictive read. The story develops and matures at the same time as the MC. As we progress, we discover how the werewolf mechanics work, how the MC views the thrill/fantasy of being inhuman and the reality for his aunt and uncle (Ex. Grandpa’s stories vs their true parallels). Loved the idea of werewolves who choose to stay wolves more than humans, reminds me of The Wife’s Story by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Expectations are already high for Jones and the fact this is a book about werewolves… huzzah!

If I had a nickel for every time there was supernatural events happening to Black people in a juke-joint, I’d have two nickels.

The dialogue changes between a southern dialect as well as generic english. It took me a bit to adjust, but it’s manageable. The idea of the Klu Kluxes being possessed/mutated Klansmen? Refreshing. I was afraid the supernatural aspect would focus on the klansmen just being extraterrestrial beings, which would be pretty distasteful to AA history. Enjoyable read so far!

I LOVE BOOKS, CHARLIE! I LOVE BOOKS! 📚🌈✨

This is NOT your traditional werewolf book… So far I love it!
