Excerpt from Sun-Herald review (19−07−09)

...as the wolf inside (Jatta) stirs, it brings with it violence, bloodshed and heartache. These wolf transformations are particularly chilling...
Yet even when not in her wolf suit, Jatta is more than a match for her enemies who often underestimate her. Intelligent yet naïve, determined yet fragile, weak yet deadly. Jatta is all of these. As such, she is a complex character, beautifully flawed, riddled with contradictions and, thus, a delightfully enticing heroine. Arthmael, who knows and loves his sister best sums her up perfectly, “You know, Jay, you look like a kid, you cry like a girl, but you think like a wizened old soul.”
... From the front cover, with its striking image of the Jatta-wolf, through to the cast of tormented characters, the multifarious layers of plot, and the sweeping majesty of Hale’s sumptuous landscapes, readers will be captivated.

Excerpt from Weekend Australian review (27−06−09)

This is a cut above much of the teenage fantasy genre... there are ingenious plot twists and some convoluted ethical issues, but no sign of a heavy hand. A final bonus is some humour, albeit rather dark.

What readers are saying

“Awesome stuff. Jatta’s wolf transformations were pretty chilling, and each one just got worse for her. I loved her – so fragile, but clever, too.”
− NS

“Arthmael is hot. He can rub my shoulders anytime.”
− JT

“I wouldn’t have thought anyone could actually feel sorry for Jatta’s wolf. Ew! Not with that mouthful of glass shards. But I was – because she couldn’t help it. It really freaked her out. Every time she transformed I was, like, Don’t let this happen. Then I was, like, OK, but don’t let her kill Arthmael. But when she was up against the pterodactyls I was, like, go for it, girl! Finished it at 2am.”
