What makes this novel special is the changes the author rings on the werewolf theme, spinning both a convincing thriller and an inquisition on the nature of good and evil – a recurring theme in her work. Superb. – Guardian

Readers praise it as a terrific new novel with a magnetic plot and fascinating characters. – The Boston Globe
A thrilling, page-turning yarn. – Booklist
