Book Description:
Supermodel Lou Kipinski seems to have it all. But beauty is only skin deep—and sometimes Lou's porcelain complexion can get a bit hairy. The only thing worse than a furry fashion faux-pas? Fangs in her million-dollar smile. That's what happened six months ago, when Lou had her first outbreak. But now that she's at the height of her career she absolutely must find a cure...

So what's a single werewolf gotta do? Then a sexy detective comes knocking on her door. Two women who bear an eerie resemblance to Lou have been killed -- something with teeth and claws tore them apart. Is it a coincidence that the grisly murders have taken place during the same time as Lou's own outbreaks? With a killer at her heels and another outbreak just a concealer-wand's distance away, Lou is soon in a race to discover truths about her own murky past. And before it's all over she may be forced to show the world that her bark is nothing compared to her bite...

I found this book entertaining. It's clearly the beginning of a series, and I would have looked for the others. However, the author unfortunately passed away before this was published, so I can't image we'll get more of Lou's story. This does not detract from the existing book.

This book is written in the present tense, which threw me off a bit while reading, but overall I greatly enjoyed reading about Lou, Cindy, and the others who make up their unique circle of friends and lovers. I was very disappointed to learn of Ms. Thompson's passing, since this book leaves many plotlines unresolved and wide open for a sequel, and I would have gladly picked up another book or two in the series to see how things turned out.

Very cute, light read. Nice to read in between the "darker" paranormals. Laugh out loud funny in a few places. Kept me guessing and was not as predictable as I expected. I will read the next one for sure!!

On the night of her senior prom, shy, awkward Shelly Billington discovers that she has the ability to shapeshift into a werewolf, particularly when she's feeling scared or threatened. Unfortunately, that was the first and only time she's fully transformed, and superjock Tom Dawson paid with his life that night. Granted he had attempted to rape her and her rage took over, but still...

Now 7 years later, having fled that small town in Texas where it all went down, she's changed her name, her identity, and—one of the fortunate side effects of the change—her looks. She's now Lou Kinipski, successful supermodel living in a swanky high-rise in New York City. For the past 6 months however, Lou's been having strange nightmares... and strange "hairy" outbreaks that coincide with the moon's cycle. And two women who look very much like Lou have been murdered. I think her past is about to catch up with her... now!!!

I had recently read the Midnight Pleasures anthology, which included a short story by Ronda Thompson. That was my first introduction to this author and I really liked her style. I expect to eventually read her Wild Wulfs of London historical romance series via bookrings from CandyDarling, but was quite happy to find this stand-alone novel by Ms. Thompson which was just published last month. I do hope she decides to continue these characters in a series of their own as I really liked this book a lot.

I'd say it leaned more towards paranormal chick-lit, in the style of MaryJanice Davidson's Betsy Taylor series, as opposed to paranormal romance. We didn't have any sappy happily-ever romance/relationship issues. Lou's got her own real-life problems, but prefers to let the world think she's just an airhead supermodel with no brains. Her best friend Cindy is a lesbian, a makeup artist, and knew her back when she was still Shelly Billington. The many situations they get themselves into are touching, humorous, and fun. I truly enjoyed this book!!


PS - I later found out that Ronda Thompson passed away in July of 2007, so unfortunately there will be no more books from her.

Confessions of a Werewolf Supermodel (Ronda’s last book, published after her death. She died in July 2007) she will be missed.

I really liked this book and was looking forward to more in the series, but was so disappointed to hear of the author's death. It is a fun read even if it is the only one we'll ever get!

You think you have problems. Try thinking that you are the only one with a problem of turning into a werewolf,only to find that there are others and the city is also crawling with vampires. That is the kind of problems that Lou has to deal with. I greatly injoyed this book. A good read, funny, sexy and all around enjoyable.
