W O W.

I’ll be honest… when I saw this as a Book of the Month choice, I quickly decided that it wasn’t for me. I was wrong.

Once There Were Wolves is part contemporary fiction, part thriller, part ode to conservationism. It was vivid, haunting, beautiful, and profound. The stories of twin sisters Inti and Aggie were so unique and captivating that I just couldn’t put this down over the weekend. My favorite part of this book was that Inti has a syndrome called mirror-touch synesthesia, where she feels everything she sees another being feel. It took this book to an entirely new level and created such an exceptional point of view. Did I cry over wolves? Yes, yes I did. I know that I will be thinking about this book for some time to come.

This book has major trigger warnings, so please check before reading!
