I'm speechless, obsessed, awestruck. CJ Leede brought to life a beautiful, deadly queen with Meave Fly. I grew up watching slasher movies, this was my first time reading the slasher genre. I saw Baby from House of thousand corpses in Meave. The glamour, loneliness, grief, wanting to be loved, the matter of fact way to feed her wolf.  I empathized with Meave's grief, social avoidance, being proud to love the things she loves regardless of gender and age. I thought the ending was perfect and poetic in a way. Meave is queen after all. 
Thank you Tor Nightfire and Netgalley for access to an advanced copy for my honest review. 
Thank you CJ Leede for giving readers a strong feminist FMC. You will be an autobuy author for me. I can't wait to see what else you will bring into this genre
