Product Description
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…

From the Back Cover
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?
And she brings out the animal in men.

Werewolf Supermodel More Than Fluff
Expecting a light fluff story, was pleasantly surprised to find a very solid and meaty adventure starring Lou, a supermodel with a secret. Or should that be secrets? Seven years ago on her prom night, Sherry, a plain and geeky girl was violently attacked by the school's handsome football star, beaten and nearly raped. That girl disappeared in a fury of rage and blood, and now in her place is gorgeous and confident Lou, New York Supermodel and closet werewolf, who is finally asking questions about who she is and why she sometimes grows fur, fangs and claws.
What catches Lou completely off guard however is a string of violent murders of women who bear an uncanny resemblence to herself, and the tough and attractive homicide cop investigating not only the murders, but her. Mix in the hot fashion photographer she's been half in love with for the past 6 years, an infuriating but sexy Private Investigator whose growing more interested in her than the case she's hired him for, and a pyscho stalker whose scent makes her literally see red...
Appears to be the first of an ongoing series, and includes a great supporting cast of characters. What I love about Lou is she is NOT a fluff brain. She's a pretty together lady with a pack of unanswered questions, plenty of guts, and a determination to get to the bottom of the mystery of why she's a werewolf and live a full and rewarding life.
I thoroughly enjoyed the read and can't wait for more books to follow.

Disappointed there will be no more?
I thought this book could be the start of a fairly promising series. I am saddened to learn of the author's death. While the book had some jarring notes and rough edges, it was entertaining, fresh and would no doubt have been a popular series for a long while to come.
Excellent!
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.
