Becca Thornton, divorced, middle-aged and trying to embrace a quiet life, discovers that there are still plenty of surprises to be had when her menopause kicks in with bonus lycanthropy. And she’s not the only one. The seemingly peaceful and dull town of Wolf’s Point has its own all-female werewolf pack and Becca has just become its newest member. But it’s not all protecting Wolf’s Point, midnight meetings at the Women’s Club and monthly runs through the woods. There are werewolf hunters in town and now they've got Becca and the Wolf’s Point Pack in their sights.
As if that wasn’t enough, Becca’s cute lesbian werewolf neighbor, Erin, is starting to haunt her dreams as well as her doorstep. What’s a newbie werewolf to do, between the hot flashes and the unexpected physical transformations? Can Becca overcome her fears and help the werewolves defeat their greatest enemy?

After fifteen years of marriage Becca Thornton’s husband Ed decided he wanted someone younger and a new sports car. That was two years ago and Becca has remained in Wolf’s Point in the house he told her she could keep. Turning fifty Becca is facing hot flashes and that wonderful period that most women face menopause, the change, and having gone through it myself I am still wondering what we change into lol. Well in Becca’s case she discovers that even though she is not an original inhabitant of Wolf’s Point she will join other women in town as a wolf and a guardian grandma. Menopausal werewolves are definitely a new one for me.
After her first change Becca is finding it hard to come to terms with being a wolf and possibly being responsible for injuring men who have appeared to want the pack eliminated. Erin Adams, her neighbor, is trying to guide Becca through menopause and being a wolf. Erin in a lesbian and Becca suddenly finds herself being attracted to her, was this just another side effect of the change.
Well Becca decided that if being in Wolf’s Point brought on the magic that caused her to be a wolf then removing herself from there should reverse it so off, she goes to visit a cousin hoping that she has left the wolf behind where it belongs, wrong. Becca turns and she is alone facing the shift, distance doesn’t make a difference but fortunately for a little six-year-old boy being held by a pedophile she is able to save him and returns home only to be reprimanded for risking exposure by turning by herself and possibly risking harming someone which she actually did when she tore the pedophile apart.
Menopause, becoming a wolf and if that isn’t enough Ed comes requesting that they sell the house, a house that has become home to her since he left. Menopause has done that but wow Becca gives new meaning to “the change”. Becca was a very annoying character as far as I was concerned, always whining and always putting the pack in danger.
I found this book hard to get through, it was slow moving and the idea of menopausal wolves just didn’t rock my boat but I will read book two hoping that it will improve since the author has laid the groundwork in this book.
