Seven years ago on prom night, the unthinkable happened -- the "ugly duckling" allegedly murdered the captain of the football team for attempting rape, triggering her dormant werewolf. That's also the night Shelly Billington became Lou Kinipski, a supermodel known across the world for her unflinching beauty. That night the "ugly duckling" became the beautiful swan, and because she knew facing her parents was out of the question, she ran, with her best friend in tow.

Lou's frightening and visually disturbing nightmares keep her up most nights, but the worst part is the uncontrollable patches of wolf-hair growing on her back (this causes major issues during a modeling shoot). She has no idea her nightmares are actually real until handsome detective Terry Kane shows up asking probing questions regarding a murder that sounds eerily like her dreams. Can she control the wolf within her soon enough to help snare a killer?

This is a fabulously fun and witty book, which was to start a quirky new paranormal series by Ronda Thompson. Unfortunately and regrettably, Ms. Thompson has since died of cancer. The reading world is certainly going to miss this talented author.
