The Better to Hold You
"The sort of book that makes you want to invest in silver bullets before meeting the author." – Neil Gaiman
SHE KNOWS WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.
Manhattan veterinarian Abra Barrow has more sense about animals than she has about men. So when her adored journalist husband returns from a research trip to Romania and starts pacing their apartment like a caged wolf, Abra agrees to move with him to a rural mansion upstate in order to save her marriage.
But while there are perks to her new life, particularly in the bedroom, Abra soon discovers that nothing in the bucolic town of Northside is what it seems. The local tavern serves a dangerous, predatory underworld. Her husband has developed feral new appetites and a roving eye,
and his lack of humanity isn't entirely emotional. As the moon waxes
full, Abra must choose between trusting the man she married, taking a
chance on a seductive stranger, or following her own animal instincts.
