This is a story of female rage, told through the Rory's transformation into a werewolf. We see her relationship with her body as it starts to become less and less her own, and how it mirrors the experience of her pregnant sister. This book is funny, angry and emotional. It dives into complex family relationships, trauma and forgiveness, with a side of gore.
Although I ended up loving this and staying up until 3am to finish it, it did take a while to get going initially. The first chunk reads a little just contemporary fiction before any of the horror kicks in, which isn't a bad thing, but does mean it took me a little longer to get into. I would have liked maybe a little more of the horror elements, although I did really like the direction the plot went and wouldn't want this to be different.
There's also a heavy romance plot through the story which I actually quite liked. I'm not usually into romance in books and I tend to be quite fussy about it, but this was genuinely quite sweet and even added some level of tension to the story.
Overall a really great read, and I'm looking forward to continuing working through Rachel Harrison's backlist

One of the characters was so annoying to me. I just wanted to shake them by the shoulders 😅 I couldn’t tell if they were being nonchalant and didn’t care or were trying to be spiteful.
The descriptions were very well-written. The dialogue was cheeky and witty without being corny. Rory was written like a ~real~ person. With flaws but also redeeming qualities. She didn’t feel superficial at all.
Just overall a great book!
