NEVER CRY WEREWOLF
Secret government operative Sasha Trudeau doesn't like what shes seeing — a series of brutal and bloody slayings that appear to be wolf-like attacks.

But while Sasha races to find suspects and motives, the panic level is rising — and the city's human population is clamoring for an all-out wolf hunt…
