When the Wolf Comes Home

I went into ‘When the Wolf Comes Home’ expecting your run of the mill thriller—after all, it was the pick for this month in a few Thriller Book Clubs I joined. Oh how I was so wrong, in the best possible way though. (I also only skimmed the description clearly not well enough lol) This book is a wild, unsettling journey that grips you from start to finish. Intense, twisted horror with vividly descriptive nightmares that seem to stick with you long after the last page. The balance between terror and that good old laugh to keep from crying was a nice touch as well. The characters are messy and emotional making you want to shake some sense into them and comfort them at the same time—maybe (lol). There are some “Daddy issues” moments that seemed to annoy some readers but the other elements in the story far outweighed this, for me at least. The author’s imagination runs wild in the best ways, crafting horrific possibilities that grab you by the throat and don’t let go. The writing has you so wrapped up, you can feel the trauma and horror pouring through the pages. It came this close to earning a full 5 stars—but I will say, a few sections felt as if they dragged or could have been trimmed to keep the momentum firing on. At the end of the day you can’t go wrong with ‘When the Wolf Comes Home’ it’s a great haunting and unforgettable read—recommend if you’re ready for something more than your average paced Horror Thriller ride.

Loved love loved! Just read it , very much worth it.

This book will stay with me for a long time. As every good horror book should it makes you think, both while reading and after finishing. It’s a great character study, and descriptions flow off the page. I could visualize and sometimes even feel the description of scenes. It left me wrecked, but in a good way (I think).
