BLURB:

What if werewolves were real?

What if one of them was different?

What if you were a defective werewolf?

This is not the story of how one night I got bitten and my life changed. Nor is it the story of how I went on a savage killing spree that left me tormented with guilt and dread the next morning.

No.

This is the story of a boy, a boy who’s spent his life running from the shadows of monsters. A boy who never understood why the world hated him with so much odium. Why his mother would throw away her only life to protect his. Why he was never allowed to have friends. Why he never had the childhood every child should. Why he was never allowed to cherish happiness.

This is the story of a boy becoming himself, embracing his vulnerability and learning to accept and love.

This is a story about a werewolf, trying to find the answers to why he was born defective.

And maybe that’s the very reason I become the main course on the menu.

REVIEW:

I’ve been a fan of this author since I read the first story that came my way. I’m not a huge fan of cliffhangers though, so this one left me fuming a little bit. I’ll explain why. I’m still waiting for wrap up on the Neon White series, and it has been FOREVER. That out of the way, I’m going to tell you how much I liked this new story.

We are introduced to a young man named Michael Salem, just as he and his mother have fled to a remote island off the coast of Maine. Michael and his mother have been on the run for years from people who have been hunting them and trying to kill them. It takes a while before we learn who those people are, but the story builds nicely as it goes along.

I really enjoyed getting to know Michael and the host of other characters in the small town. There were quite a few to keep track of but I didn’t lose anyone along the way. There was always enough to make me ‘remember’ who each character was and how they interconnected. I liked this one. It wasn’t quite as graphic (I don’t think) as the author’s previous stories, especially that one that I don’t think he ever finished that I read part of. Trust me, that one was the stuff of nightmares. This one, on the other hand was the story of a young man learning who and what he is, and how he fits into the world as a whole. There is way more to Mr. Salem that everyone else knows.

The story was full of moments when I just wanted to reach in and shake someone and tell them to communicate. Secrets and lies kept everyone apart, right up to the big conclusion or what I would more aptly call the aforementioned cliffhanger. I stayed up until midnight last night to finish this book, knowing I had to get up at 4AM, and my kindle almost hit the wall when I got to that last page. GRRRRRRRR!

I highly recommend the story to anyone who isn’t faint of heart. It is by no means a romance. It is dark and might be disturbing to more sensitive readers. I, on the other hand, will be waiting impatiently for the next installment! Let’s hope it comes quickly. I’m going to rate it a 4.5 out of 5.0 Love Bytes because of the cliffhanger.
