🐺

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!
