Lauren's been itching to get Laura Purcell on the podcast for ages so when she and Charlotte were able to get their teeth into her new book Moonstone they were absolutely howling with joy.
Get your moonstone necklace at the ready as they dive into all things lycanthropic, talk about Laura's first experience with Twilight (more than once) and other wolfish popculture with obligatory deepdiving into the big plot points and the spoilers everyone loves.
