⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Haddock delivers a tense narrative where survival instincts drive the plot, avoiding abstract philosophical questions in favor of immediate stakes. The dual structure effectively contrasts Annabelle’s protective desperation with Stephanie’s quest for a permanent curse-breaking solution. The depiction of werewolves and hunters is visceral, emphasizing sharp teeth and malicious intent to heighten the horror elements. The story excels in showing how friendship blurs into betrayal under pressure. It suits readers who want clear supernatural rules and aggressive pacing. However, those preferring slow-burn mysteries may find the intensity overwhelming. The focus remains firmly on the physical and emotional toll of living with a curse, making it a solid choice for fans of intense paranormal drama.
