If you think werewolf books are ‘all the same’, try this one… a different take on the subject. Good read, hard to put down once you start. Recommended.

McEllistrem provides a unique take on both what it might be like to ‘become’ a werewolf, and what such a transformation might mean in terms of our greatest fears about ourselves. The psychological struggle of the central character is fascinating as she tries to understand what is happening and then come to terms with it. I also enjoyed the suspense as the “chase” builds from page to page. The climax/conclusion is one that I wasn’t expecting and made me reflect on good/evil.

Science meets horror. I enjoyed this different take on the werewolf story, as well as the classic elements you want in a horror tale. McEllistrem’s writing style keeps you guessing about what is going on and where the story is going. For a fresh look at fangs, I highly recommend this read!
