I loved Rory's inner thoughts, and I honestly found her hilarious. I loved the dynamic between her and her sister, Scarlett. All the other characters like Ash, Seth, Mia, etc were all great additions, all with their own unique personalities. The pacing was great, love how we started at Halloween and ended after New Year's. I never felt bored and it kept me wanting more and more of the story. I could totally see a sequel.
This is labelled as a 'dark comedic love story', which it's really not? I find it focuses mostly on Rory and her transformation both mentally and physically while grappling with her becoming a werewolf. Her relationship with Ian's is a fun bonus but there's not enough focus or depth to it for the entire book to be labeled a love story. Really, it's a love story with Rory and finding herself to be honest.
The one thing I didn't find so believable is the fact that Rory is on this work leave that lasts for months and she's only in her 20's. Coupled with the fact that her job is in NYC, and she happens to be at a high ranking level, I'm not saying it's impossible but honestly, her being a werewolf is much more believable. I don't think the NYC backstory, really added much to character.
The ending climax definitely felt rushed. Would have loved to see more fallout and conflict after what happens.

is a supernatural drama, it still is an engaging read about the how internalized rage and trauma can manifest decades later, and at the most inopportune time.
