It's really not that great.

A woman turns into a snake whenever she gets upset and murders people but doesn't remember doing it. Her boyfriend meets some guy who tells him that his girlfriend was abducted by some tribe when she was a kid and and they did some magic bullshit ritual to make her the avatar for a snake god and blah blah blah, she turns into a snake a few times and kills some people. And spoiler alert, the ending was stolen right off of American Werewolf in London. It's not that amazing a read, the TF while it has some length to it leaves out lots of details and the revert to human form doesn't follow the same method. For example her legs are described as pulling up into her pants and disappearing, then when she changes back at the end her tail splits apart into legs. In two of her TFs her clothes fall off as she changes, but in one of them her clothes magically change with her. It's just not consistent, the story has some holes in it, and the ending was unimaginative and basically taken from AWIL which came out a few years before this book was written. So, meh.
