A young woman in need of a transformation finds herself in touch with the animal inside in this gripping, incisive USA Today bestselling novel from the author of Cackle and The Return.
Rory Morris isnât 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 babyâs father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought sheâd 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, sheâs attacked.
Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. Sheâs unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silverâand suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. Sheâs changing into someone elseâsomething else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean sheâs 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.
