Reviews

'Filled with romance and supernatural intrigue, this book will remind readers of Anne Rice's sophisticated refurbishings of the vampire story' Publishers Weekly 'After the first nibble it's hard to stop ... Gory, sexy fun' SFX 'A thrilling adventure ... who'd want to be human? Great fun' Big Issue 'It's as smooth as cream all the way, sure to gain fans' Kirkus Reviews 'A very contemporary, funky supernatural thriller' Hello! 'It's terrific. The heroine is the most appealing I have come across in ages. It's clever, quirky, hip and funny, skating between genres with style and grace. More please!' Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat 'A hair-raising story for the she-wolf in us all' Shannon Olson, author of Welcome to my Planet 'Entertaining new take on an old thriller story form. Makes Buffy look fluffy' Daily Express 'Armstrong's true achievement is her depiction of werewolf nature in believably human context ...the sensuality of Elena's transformations and the viciousness of her kills mesh perfectly with her tough personality. Filled with romance and supernatural intrigue, this book will remind readers of Anne Rice's sophisticated refurbishings of the vampire story' Publishers Weekly 'There is nothing overtly gothic about this fast-paced, sexy thriller and its model contemporary heroine - it's just that she's a werewolf who is trying to make a go of things among humans' Bookseller 'A tasty confection of werewolves, sex and vendettas ... after the first nibble it's quite hard to stop ... Elena and her acid repartee successfully steal the show throughout, she has bags of charm. Also, werewolves seem a healthy change from too many would-be-cool vampires: unlike Dracula's pallid, Gothic kin, Elena worries about her weight and works out hard at the gym. Gory, sexy fun' SFX 'A thrilling adventure ... who'd want to be human? Great fun' Big Issue 'It's as smooth as cream all the way, sure to gain fans' Kirkus Reviews 'Rather than writing a slice of modern gothic, Armstrong has penned a very contemporary, funky supernatural thriller with a particularly provocative heroine' Hello
