Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A young woman in need of a transformation finds herself in touch with the animal inside in this gripping, incisive USA Today bestselling novel from the author of Cackle and The Return.
Rory Morris isn’t thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, even if it is temporary. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby’s father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she’d put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into Ian, an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she’s attacked.
Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She’s unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver—and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She’s changing into someone else—something else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean she’s putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance?
This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.

“Overall I enjoyed the book, but I expected more. More werewolf, more violence, more resolution. It’s more cute love story and learning how to grow and love yourself than it was werewolf story. I also felt like it needed a couple more chapters, it just sort of ended. I feel like a flash forward would have been great, dude a little deeper into her life after living as a werewolf for a while, is Ian really okay with it? Does the sliver actually help her control it? Does she lock herself in the vault? Is it easier to live with after doing it for a year? Just a little something more would have been really great. Especially since Ian was so quick to be like yeah, sure, you’re a werewolf but I still love you.”

“Feminine Rage + Emotional Core 🐺
"In all the fairy tales the wolf is big and bad and dangerous... But fairytales are bullshit. Maybe wolves just get a bad edit."
Such Sharp Teeth is so uniquely fun and feral!
Rachel Harrison said trauma, teeth, and terrible men? Let’s bite back.
On the surface, this is a laugh-out-loud, slice-of-chaos paranormal romp — complete with razor-sharp banter, a dash of romance, and just enough body horror to keep the vibes feral. But beneath the fur and fangs is a surprisingly tender story about healing old wounds, grappling with identity, and facing the monsters that don’t come with claws.
There’s feminine rage, sisterhood, and a raw, relatable take on how it feels to lose (and reclaim) yourself — whether through trauma, transformation, or even impending motherhood.
Witty, weird, and weirdly emotional.
This one sinks its teeth into you in the best way. 🐾
"When your sad, you cry. When your happy, you smile, you laugh. But what do you do when your angry? Not just mad, but filled with this ugly consuming rage. And the thing is - women aren't allowed to be angry. Nobody likes a mad woman. They're crazy. Irrational. Obnoxious. Shrill."”
