Did TJ Klune forget there are words other that said to describe dialogue? There were hardly any descriptors in this book at all. Also the word ‘and’ must have been used 8000 times.
“It was cold. And. It was wet. And. It was rainy. And. There were no lights. And. The wind was blowing. And….”
Such awful writing in honesty in shock. Maybe the audio book made this seem worse?
I was also really shocked how vulgar this book was. There was a very explicit sex scene and some pretty extreme lusting over a teenager. Again, I love Under the whispering door and the house in the cerulean sea and neither of them had sex scenes that I can recall. I will not be reading any more of this series, and probably not any more TJ Klune either.

I am familiar with Klune’s other works, and this absolutely feels like something he wrote prior to finding his author’s voice and style. But honestly, I came here for indulgent, angsty, queer werewolves and I was definitely not disappointed.

There is a significant age gap between the main characters who eventually end up in a relationship, which some may find unsettlinggreymouse's review against another edition
