I absolutely loved this book! It’s a fast-paced nightmare that’s as imaginative as it is horrifying.

Jess is a struggling actress who has a very bad night at her make-do diner job and then things get even worse when she winds up with a runaway kid on her hands. But this isn’t just any kid; this kid is being doggedly pursued by a werewolf. From there the story goes even more off the rails.

This book truly has everything: a hectic plot that wouldn’t let me go, characters I cared deeply about, and some fantastically visceral and creative descriptions of horror. On top of all of that, there were some emotional moments that I wasn’t expecting and that felt like a punch in the heart. It’s an expertly crafted horror story with an absolute ton of heart. I kind of want to just read it all over again, but I’m going to hold off until I check out Nat Cassidy’s other books!

Readers will want to take a bite out of this bloody goody, horrific, riveting, and shocking book!!!! Nat Cassidy slayed the werewolf paranormal fiction genre with When the Wolf Comes Home!!! Nat Cassidy wowed me with Nestlings and I could not wait to devour this powerhouse of a book. He seriously delivered and then some! This book kept me on my toes, turning the pages, and on the edge of my seat.

Whew! Jess, a struggling actress, has had a horrible night at work and comes home to a find a five-year-old boy hiding in her bushes. Soon a horrific, violent, and bloody attack involving the boy's father brutally unfolds. She is beyond scared, traumatized and runs with the boy. Those who enjoy the horror genre know that you can run but you can't hide!

Holy Moly! This is not, I repeat, this is not your usual werewolf story! This one is deep, brilliant, shocking, evokes emotion, and provides shock and shock. Nat Cassidy has more instore than I imagined when I picked this book up. You will need to buckle up while reading this one as it is a wild thrilling and jaw dropping ride. This book is sooo original and unique. It is also terrifying and thought provoking. This is a book where you may want to cover your eyes while reading yet will keep pulling your hands down because you just must keep reading!

I love it when I am certain that I know where a book is going and then *bam* it becomes so much more than I could ever imagine. That is the case with this book. I loved the writing, the vivid descriptions, the tension, the suspense, and the characters. This one sucked me in, chewed me up, spit me out, then chewed me up again! My head is still spinning, and my pulse is still pounding! I don't think I have ever said 'OMG' and 'Wait, what did I just read?' so many times while reading a book. I mean that in the best possible way.

*Be sure to read the Author's note at the end of this awesome book!

Dark, shocking, brutal, and beyond brilliant!

I’ve wanted to read something from this author for a while as I keep hearing such good things so I requested this from NetGalley and was not disappointed!
This is a fast paced horror thriller with great characters and plenty to say
I devoured this is a couple of days and will be recommending it

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc
