Lovely descriptions of those covers, Theresa. And you've read all those books? Good lord. You're definitely qualified as facilitator. Also maybe as President of the Kelley Armstrong fan club, Whitby chapter. It's such a beautiful thing to love a particular writer like that, the thrill of anticipating the next book (and to be the writer who is anticipated... even better!).

I still haven't read the book and thought I'd get a copy from the library until I can buy one from Shelley, but there's a waiting list of 11 people ahead of me. (All WCDR members I hope!) I did, however, read the first chapter excerpt -- a link to which I've put on the RAW site under Current Book. Her sentences are amazing. I was both annoyed at the super-intense chopiness, and completely unable to stop reading...

I think I understand why you're a fan, Theresa. How did you discover her? Is this a genre you read, werewolves I mean, or is it her specific style that you love?
