[KOMET · Rating 5 out of 5]

Here is a story featuring a young woman who gets attacked by a wolf while on vacation, returns home to Los Angeles, where her wounds heal rather quickly, and fears she is going mad when with the coming of the full moon, she changes into a furry beast with a disdain for the "two-leggers" (i.e. ordinary human beings).

There's lots of drama here to offer some excitement. The woman's monthly metamorphosis into a Wolf is, for her, an orgasmic experience, giving her a sense of untrammeled power and freedom -- though when human again, she is deeply troubled about her newly made dual self. An interesting story.

Bafflingly paced, packed with laughable dialogue, and featuring a protagonist who remains dull-witted and unlikable from beginning to end. It's also ultimately nothing but set-up, with no real resolution.

Very dated story of woman who turns into werewolf.

Really loved having a different perspective of a werewolf as a woman! It's very cool to see this, especially for the time it was written in!

I thought this was fun. It felt like watching a B-movie from the 90s as I was reading it. This is not an astounding piece of literature and it’s not supposed to be. I was very entertained by it.
