I usually like to read YA paranormal novels so this book seems like a good one for me. I also like how the interactions between the characters pulled you into the story. Great job on the review!

I've only just started the book, but really enjoying it. I agree that the pacing is a little fast and would benefit from more descriptive additions. I'm looking forward to the rest of this book.

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the paranormal genre, but your review was great! For fans of vampires and werewolves, this sounds like one that will have you turning pages late into the night! With the likeable hero and outstanding character develoment, it's no wonder the ratings are near-perfect. Thank you!

Hm, usually supernatural books, especially ones including werewolves are usually not my cup of tea. Though- I do love a good mystery book! And since you gave it full stars, I'll give it a quick read!

Very good review. These are one of my favorite type of genres. Like to get lost in other worlds where the odd and paranormal exist. Makes me want to read it immediately #

This sounds like a great twist on a werewolf novel. Very different than a lot of what is out there right now. I had to quit reading this type of book because so many were alike for a while. Very refreshing to come across this. Great review and thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your review. Glad to hear it is a good fast paced read, too bad it's a shorter story though. I think I'll enjoy it with the humor included, the spin on the same old paranormal and I am also glad Brian is not a whiny teen.

A thrilling story wherein the main character has a humorous aura, this book knows how to catch the attention of the readers. This is not your typical werewolf story. It involves bullying, a stigma that is hurting a lot of those who have differences among the normal people.

I like how the novel takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride - laughing one minute and empathyzing on the next.

I do enjoy paranormal books that don't stick with the tried and tested stories. This one sounds like it's going to unique and interesting. Definitely putting this on my TBR for the year.

Kudos with your review! I like horror and I find this cover to hit the nail. I just read a few pages.

I think it awesome the book goals are to address the bullying issues. Bullying need to be stop. It is worse today. I hope this book address cyberbullying as well.

Also, having a twist of supernatural makes it more interesting. I look forward to reading it.

Thanks for the great review! I love fiction especially if there’s a ‘were’ involved. I’m definitely reading this and I want to meet all the interesting characters that you described, especially Brian and his ‘laugh-out-loud’ lines!

I love paranormal novels, and I definitely won't let the YA part stop me! It's a shame about the pace, though. I hate when a story goes too quickly or drags on. Thank you for the thorough and honest review.
