Because I could not put this book down. Could not. Started it last night, finished it this afternoon. I will even admit that I hid in my office's men's room several times today so I could read.Aubrey, Joe and Vina are some of the most fleshed out characters I've read in a long time. Ms. Love introduces them, and then you know them. Or do you?In the town of Cry Baby Hollow, nothing is what it seems. Nor is anyone. Even yourself. And just when you think you know something, you don't, because Ms. Love throws in twists that you could not imagine. It's a literary Dragon Coaster.If you are a werewolf person (I am) be prepared - they do not arrive on the scene until the last 20% of the book (I checked my Kindle to verify). But when they hit, they hit HARD, and you will never believe who some of them are. You think you do? You don't. Trust me. As you can read in the summary, there is a gruesome murder in the first third of the book - probably the grizzliest I've come across in a long time (how does the author sleep at night without blood-curdling screams from nightmares? I don't know - maybe she does). If you read closely, you'll be able to figure out who gets offed. Or can you? I didn't.I now know more about the marines, automatic weapons, Hungarian dogs and eastern Tennessee than I ever thought I would. This book has everything with the werewolves - great people, horrible people, awful parents, terrifying senior citizens, racism, anti-Semitism, etc. The only thing it doesn't have is animal cruelty. Or does it?I just purchased the author's other book "The Epic" and I will read it NOW!
