When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy
5.0
"No one will be spared when the wolf comes home."
One night, Jess, a struggling actress, finds a five-year-old runaway hiding in the bushes outside her apartment. After a violent, bloody encounter with the boy's father, she and the boy find themselves running for their lives.
WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME by Nat Cassidy was a scary, sad, beautifully horrific road trip of a novel that will sit with me for A LONG TIME, if not forever.
Cassidy tends to put a lot of himself in his work and this one is his most tender yet. Weaving together monsters and humanity and the moments of overlap, WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME will have you running for the hills and calling your parents all within the same breath.
There were also a few elements in this story that felt cherry-picked for me specifically (I won't go into any detail here as they were truly fun to meet head-on within the story without the prior knowledge, but just know that they were 10000% *chef's kiss*)
Catch me out here championing this book (alongside Stephen King lol) for the foreseeable future!
Huge thanks to NetGalley and Tor Nightfire for the early copy for review - out April 22!
