Official synopsis Publisher
In this queer, supernatural YA graphic novel from the author of Some Girls Do and the illustrator of Wonder Woman: Warbringer, a reluctant teen werewolf would do anything to be human—if that’s what it takes to win her crush’s heart.
High school senior Tessa doesn’t fit in anywhere. Not at school, where she can’t figure out how to confess the feelings she’s had for her best friend Maddie since the fourth grade. And definitely not at home, where the rest of her family of werewolves make her feel like an outcast because she can’t even shift into her full wolf form yet. Sometimes she thinks her whole life would be easier if she was normal, like Maddie and everyone else at school.
When word gets out that a group of werewolf hunters has infiltrated her pack’s territory, and that they’ve developed a treatment that can make werewolves become human, Tessa thinks she’s found the answer to her problems. But when it turns out there might be more to the hunters’ plans than anyone knows, it’s up to Tessa to put herself on the line to protect the lives of those she loves the most.
