5.0

As someone who lived in the South until really recently, this book really captures a small town paranoia and trauma that melded so beautifully with the themes of the book. This is a book about assault, and how it keeps happening, and how a community allows it to happen. If you're looking for a pure werewolf story, you may be disappointed, but as a metaphor, it worked really well for me.
