A solid horror story. The description is pretty accurate to what the whole book is about. It was interesting to read how the whole "werewolf" thing was used as a vehicle for female rage- especially to heavy trauma. I did end up liking the MC, she is easy to root for and all I wanted to give her was a hug (even though she would probably beat me up). It was also interesting that "werewolf" as also used to describe not being in control of your body, similar to how the sister's pregnancy was talked about throughout the book. Overall, it was solid.
