It's deeply unfair that a book featuring literal cartoon logic made me cry and feel an ache in the pit of my stomach about my relationship with my father. Nat Cassidy I am suing you for emotional damages that afterword was diabolical.

When the Wolf Comes Home is a fast paced, messy, anxiety attack of a book. The audiobook narrator, Helen Laser, did an incredible job making you feel that through the narration. I typically don't like the slasher or thriller subgenre, or monster horror for that matter. I only picked it up because of all the reviews saying how subversive and amazing this story was, and I do't regret it one bit! It wasn't a perfect hit for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and will definitely be recommending it!

This book grips you from the beginning. I initially thought this was a werewolf book however this book was so much more. The relationship developments and inner monologue had me enthralled! This was thoroughly entertaining and a huge surprise. Highly recommend.
