Werewolves, oh my

The Better to Hold You The Better to Hold You by Alisa Sheckley


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
I saw this book mentioned in Romantic Times, and the fact that Gaiman had blurbed it made me want to check it out.



I was not disappointed.



The cover copy makes the novel seem predictible, even rather standard, but it does not do a good job of actually representing the novel. There's much more here than the cover hints, and the portrait of the marriage between Hunter and Abra is both convincing and suffocating. There's more depth here than one usually finds in mass market romances. I'm rather surprised the publisher didn't put it out as a trade first.
