Supermodel Lou Kinipski has a problem. Oh, on the surface it looks like she has it all- beauty, a great career, and excellent taste in clothing. But Lou has some secrets, ones that would permanently end her career if anyone ever found out. Lou is a werewolf who changed her identity when she first transformed many years ago. Someone is now targeting beautiful women, women who look a lot like Lou. Will Lou be able to keep her secrets hidden when Detective Terry Shay comes looking for answers? CONFESSIONS OF A WEREWOLF SUPERMODEL is an excellent book on so many levels. Yes, it is has many of the light-hearted Manolo Blahnik shoe moments one would expect in a chick lit tale. And yes, Lou is concerned with her appearance, particularly when odd outbreaks of fur appear, as one would expect of a supermodel. But CONFESSIONS OF A WEREWOLF SUPERMODEL is much deeper than that. Ronda Thompson creates characters who are much more than their surface appearance would indicate. Lou Kinipski may be a supermodel now, but inside she still feels like an ugly, unwanted girl. The demons from her past haven’t yet been dealt with as she ran away on prom night, not returning to face her adoptive parents or the ramifications of her actions. The juxtaposition between Lou’s outside appearance and how she perceives her inner appearance adds layers to her character and keeps her from being another fluffy chick lit character. Even secondary characters, such as Cindy and Morgan, have unexpected layers. Ronda Thompson also did a fabulous job at incorporating a high level of suspense to CONFESSIONS OF A WEREWOLF. I couldn’t stop turning the pages as the twists and turns just kept coming. I am deeply saddened to know there won’t be further books along this line by Ms. Thompson due to her unfortunate death. CONFESSIONS OF A SUPERMODEL is an enjoyable tale that has definitely earned a place on my keeper shelves.Reviewed by Debbie |
