But other than that - really ordinary life. That is, until the neighbours find out who she is, and all hell breaks loose. Literally.

"It's not easy to find a fresh angle for the werewolf theme,
but this debut novel from a Canadian writer proves that solid storytelling
and confident craftsmanship can rejuvenate one of the hoariest of
all horror cliché's…. Filled with romance and supernatural
intrigue, this book will surely remind readers of Anne Rice's sophisticated
refurbishings of the vampire story."
- Publishers Weekly
"Kelley Armstrong's frisky first novel, Bitten….tells a rather sweet love story, and suggests that being a wolf may be more comfortable for a strong, smart young woman than being a human."
- The New York Times Book Review
"As smooth as cream all the way, sure to gain fans."
