Karen See delivers a contemporary horror narrative that effectively blends young adult romance with supernatural dread. The protagonist’s journey through betrayal and danger is compelling, particularly for readers who prioritize character dynamics over high-octane action. By grounding the werewolf lore in an academic setting, the author creates a jarring yet relatable intrusion of the macabre.
