This book kept me on my toes. It was not the werewolf book I was expecting. This is a book of parents and children and nightmares and bad miracles and heartbreak and grief and abuse and joy and wonder and fear and fear and fear. 
Nat Cassidy’s writing is propulsive and explosive and jaw-dropping. When the Wolf Comes Home is stunning. It’s wild. It’s terrifying. It's tender. It left me aching. I was completely undone. 
This book is non-stop from the first page. It healed something inside of me that I didn't know was broken, while also sending waves of dread and anxiety through my body. 
I want to read it all over again.
