Synopsis: A young woman in need of a transformation finds herself in touch with the animal inside in this gripping, incisive novel from the author of Cackle and The Return.Rory Morris isn&’t thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, even if it is temporary. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby&’s father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she&’d put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into Ian, an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she&’s attacked. Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She&’s unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver—and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She&’s changing into someone else—something else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean she&’s putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance? This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.
