When the Wolf Comes Home follows Jess, a woman returning to her childhood home to confront the dark past that haunts her family. As she uncovers secrets about the supernatural forces at play, she finds herself caught in a battle that forces her to face her deepest fears. The story blends horror with a unique fantasy element, creating an atmospheric, suspenseful read.

This book was excellent. I absolutely loved the narrator, who brought the story to life in such a compelling way, and most of the characters were fantastic. Jess, while not always making the best decisions, was the perfect protagonist for this dark and twisted tale. You don’t love every character you meet along the way, but they were all deeply engaging and made this a wild ride. The supernatural aspect was completely unique, and while I wasn’t necessarily scared, it definitely ticked plenty of boxes in the horror genre. There are definite trigger warnings for graphic and gory content, but that’s all part of what makes this a solid horror read. Highly recommend—this one gets all the stars!
