Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder
INSANE journey of a book. In the very best of ways. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get into this book at first, put off by this idea of the literal transformation of the story’s human protagonist into a dog, but Rachel Yoder’s impeccable writing made her physical transformation just as poignant and as meaningful as her psychological one. The metaphor of Nightbitch’s transformation into a dog displays the animalistic side of motherhood, the side that can be ugly while being strangely beautiful, in all of its love and its violence. Motherhood is a complex, multi-faceted gift, and a curse, and a miracle.

The investigation had been exhaustive, involving countless interviews, forensic analyses, and endless hours of surveillance footage. Yet, despite the best efforts of the police, the killer had never been identified, and the case had eventually gone cold. Now, a decade later, new evidence had surfaced, and Sarah was determined to uncover the truth.
