This was a fun, quick read. There were some interesting parallels drawn between womanhood and being a werewolf. The way Harrison equated the physical changes women go through because of a sexual assault, pregnancy, or menopause to those of a human turning into a werewolf was funny and dark. Some small things annoyed me: The protagonist and antagonist were just a little too similar. The story was also pretty predictable, and the mother’s character didn’t really make sense to me. The relationship between Rory and Ian was also just not believable.
