Elana K. Arnold, author of the Printz Honor book Damsel, returns with a dark, engrossing, blood-drenched tale of the familiar threats to female power—and one girl’s journey to regain it.

You are alone in the woods, seen only by the unblinking yellow moon. Your hands are empty. You are nearly naked. And the wolf is angry.

Since her grandmother became her caretaker when she was four years old, Bisou Martel has lived a quiet life in a little house in Seattle. She’s kept mostly to herself. She’s been good.

But then comes the night of homecoming, when she finds herself running for her life over roots and between trees, a fury of claws and teeth behind her.

A wolf attacks. Bisou fights back. A new moon rises. And with it, questions.

About the blood in Bisou’s past, and on her hands as she stumbles home.

About broken boys and vicious wolves.

About girls lost in the woods—frightened, but not alone.

Featured Article: The Best Women Narrators to Listen to Right Now


One of the biggest questions listeners have when it comes to approaching a new audiobook is whether or not they'll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable, as audiobooks are at least a few hours long (with many clocking in at 20 hours long—or more!), and sticking with one person's voice for that time period can feel like a big commitment. We rounded up some of the best female narrators with a robust list of audiobooks under their belts.

Girls becoming women and standing up to the wolf in men. Speaking out to the double standard of women being harassed and violated by men out of fear of having their reputation distroyed.. and how even in today's world women still fall silent.

This was just what I needed! This book has really important themes for growing young girls, and it's done in such a creative way. I have always love reading fantasy, but the genre hasn't always created characters, that as a young girl, I could look up to. Representation matters!

This coming of age story is empowering and unusual, with its strong female protagonists who do not man-bash. The main character respects her body (what a concept!) and calls out inappropriate masculine behavior in a way I’ve never seen before. Elana K. Arnold is emancipating young people respectfully and honestly.

Everyone who menstruates needs to read this book.

I was excited about a werewolf/ hunter book.
There wasn't much action at all. lots of dialog.
The MFC was the hero. but she was not very smart. Constantly coming across as densy.
The author sounds anti-man, anti-masculine about everything.
Because apparently only men turn to wolves because of the internal evil.

not for me
