Oof, this one's a punch to the gut.

It's my first Mira Grant, after a lot of Seanan McGuire. The one unfortunate thing about my timing is that I had just read Pocket Apocalypse; and lycanthropy-w has some things in common with Kellis-Amberlee, which makes keeping the plot lines separate just a bit harder than necessary.

(McGuire/Grant is a serious biology nerd. A serious nerd in several arenas, actually. I remain in awe. My favorite author, by any name.)

The audiobook is really brilliantly performed, as well--definitely a great way to read this series.
