This book surprised me in the best way. I was expecting a bloody werewolf romp with '80s horror vibes and sure, I got that. But When the Wolf Comes Home delivers so much more. It's action-packed and heart-pounding, with plenty of gore and genuine scares. But what really got me was the emotional core and the twists that completely reframe everything you think you know about the story. It turns into something far more existential and unsettling than expected. That ending? Intense. Go in blind for this one.

Try to go into this as blind as possible and buckle up for the ride. Nothing is as it seems. Relationships are messy. The world is unpredictable. This is my second Nat Cassidy and I can't wait to read more.

 This dark, twisty fairy tale was right up my alley! The turns in the plot were so good, I literally couldn't put it down.

This emotionally gripping and gory story delves deeply into the nature and impact of fear. A standout aspect is the inevitable bond between Jess and the child, as their connection blossoms amidst their traumatic journey. From beginning to end, the book offers an exhilarating ride. Nat Cassidy is an exceptional author who crafts high-quality horror stories rich in themes that resonate emotionally.
