Description
"A relationship is a question asked over and over again across a lifetime... will the animal in you, bite the animal in me?"
Zoe and her boyfriend Mike head to Yosemite for a week-long horse tour of the backcountry, but get more than they bargained for when a serial killer stalks their party through the woods. The killer's connection to Mike's past makes Zoe question the heart of the man she's fallen in love with. As the mystery unravels, Zoe is forced to survive alone in the woods, facing impossible odds in the vast, open backcountry. Her journey through the wild causes her to confront not just the darkness within others, but the animal within herself.
In this fast-paced, feminist thriller, readers are asked to sharpen their fangs and venture through the wilderness within... because not all animals live in the forest.
Advance Praise
"... an interesting character study wrapped in a psychological thriller with some romance in between... A great read!"
-- Mystery Sequels
"... an original, fresh take on the action/psychological thriller genre, with a tough protagonist and a plot that keeps you guessing until the final page... Brandy excels at writing tense, nail-biting action scenes where the heroine has to overcome practically impossible physical hurdles in the wilderness in order to survive... We need more daring female writers like Brandy."
--Elizabeth Cheney (Librarian, Oviatt, Cal State Northridge)

Caroline B, Reviewer
Animals We Are is a stunning debut. The mystery is easy enough to figure out, but who the villain is doesn’t matter as much as the journey to stop them. There’s no stalling and the writing really is fantastic, earthy and beasty, the animal analogies numerous and very imaginative. If you’ve seen the movie Ladyhawke, you might expect, while reading, the main character, Zoe, to transform into a hawk as she falls off the face of a mountain or into a big black wolf as she races against time and the elements to save her boyfriend. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to read more from this author. It’s rather unique.
Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
