I did not quite like this one. I did not get along with the main character! I mean, maybe she was too cool for me?? It instantly took me out of the story when she kept smoking and vaping and drinking. I'm not a prude at all. It just seems so weird. For me to get into a book I have to like the main character! I feel like that is just basic. Make your main character likeable! I feel like she had way too much drama going on in her life for me.
Can I take a moment to complain about the stupid drama with her and her not boyfriend? Someone makes an offhand comment to you and you somehow take that as gospel. Not only do you take it as gospel you immediately turn around and start making out with some dude you don't even know. That is not cute. That is not likeable. That's nasty. I can see if she had taken the time to even ask Ian. Or investigate. Find out more. She didn't do any of that! And not only did she totally overreact, it was over a drink. And not even a drank drank, it was coffee!! She was just too immature! I have serious issues with grown adults whose problems could be solved by a basic conversation.
Nothing happens in the book. It's pretty much drama. It's a little bit depressing. If this were a movie, it would be shot in monochrome. There would be lots of rain. Very bleak.
I thought this was too weak to be a horror. There was barely any werewolf. So misleading. And it's certainly was not a romance. There was no romance to be had and they did not seem like a cute or good couple. Seems like they just both settled. That ain't cool. Maybe it would have went over better if it was marketed as a drama with some paranormal elements. I thought for certain that at some point it would come out that it wasn't a werewolf but it was in fact a euphemism for meth.
Since I am clearly the minority in my opinion, I do still recommend it. I like it enough to keep listening. I initially started reading the physical version of this book and could not do it. However, the audio was very good. It was good enough for me to finish it.. and still not like it but let's not focus on that part!
