It's hard to describe this book. It's "horror," but so much more. It's a story about a boy coming of age, about realizing the truth(s) of being a "mixedblood" child raised by (were)wolves. This story is about craving and longing and danger and thrill. It's about stories and survival. And mostly it's about unconditional love and growing up.
This book is bone and blood deep. I had to read it slowly because I dreamed too vividly while reading. As pretty much all of his work has content warnings, be aware of gore, violence, and animal and human death. If you're interested but have been waiting, don't wait any longer. Read this one now.

I put complicated for diversity bc the character's race is never mentioned (there's an explanation for that at the end and well as why the main character character doesn't share his name) but I pictured the characters as Native American, since I knew that's the author's identity. There's also a part in the book where a child asks the MC if he's Mexican, which is common for Native Americans. But it's not 100% the characters are BIPOC 🤷♀️
