A werewolf as a pet? Yes. You can even trust them with your children. They are docile and loyal to their masters. One werepet will set you back $250,00 plus an additional $50,000 yearly maintenance fee. I loved the premise of this book as it definitely was a different spin from the normal werewolf book. Usually I'm not a fan of werewolf or paranormal fiction, but this one was different and overall I really like it.
If you are looking for a light, but action filled book then this is the one for you. I'll be honest the first half the book was pretty slow to get through, but once the plot was thickening and the twist on the werewolves started to show I gobbled it up. The book is definitely more action then world building or character development, but it was still an enjoyable read.
I liked the character of Christine. She wasn't whiny, but just your average woman trying to respond to a medic alert. The romance was a little forced and with a little expansion in the book it could have come across as more natural. It just seemed a little sudden for her to met the guy and fall in love within a span of a few hours.
I didn't see the surprise at the end coming with the Steven character and did wonder how he was going to tie into everything in the book. But it was a happy surprise!

The premise of this story was so intriguing that I dropped whatever novel I was reading at the time and instantly went for this one. The concept of the ultra-rich having werewolves as pets? LOVED it! Sure, nothing could go wrong with buying little Richie Rich a pet "werg", right?
Loved the fast-paced storyline and plot the most. This book is a quick, super fun read, and I enjoyed it reading it on the couch over the weekend.
Christine is an EMT who answers a distress call and ends up tangling with a rogue werewolf pet and she gets pretty scratched up in the process. Suddenly her body begins to change and she realizes that she's becoming a werewolf. But the darkness goes far deeper than that, as she's about to discover.
The action scenes were well-written and I love how quickly things moved from scene to scene and the progression felt fast, but believable. While this book was a highly entertaining read, I had a few small issues with the writing -- there were elements that I felt could have used some editing. For example, "he tossed her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes", as well as the use of "hunger pains" instead of "hunger pangs" bugged me a little.
I also didn't like how magically quickly the Christine fell in love with Aiden. I think a bit more mistrust between them would have served the story better to drive it along, making the reader want to root for them to become a couple.
I would love to see more of this story in future books -- I felt like it wrapped up far too quickly and neatly. However it did leave me looking forward to reading the next installment, should there be one. Trilogy, perhaps? I feel like there's more story to tell here!
This book was provided to me free of charge by NetGalley, but in no way influences my star rating or review.

This is a story about werewolves as pets.
The premise sounded interesting. Unfortunately the actual story is not.
Where do these werewolves come from? What do you feed them? These questions will be answered. Unfortunately, the answers are not that engaging. I felt that a lot more could've been done to change that.
Most characters were not very interesting or even likeable. When two characters met and fell in love within about 5 minutes, I got aggravated. Who does that? The most likeable character in the story was the one who got the least amount of attention-Nevets.
That being said, though, I did enjoy the ending. I also liked the fact that there were very few errors/typos throughout the book.
I feel that this book is aimed more towards young adults than full grown horror-loving adults. I consider myself an experienced horror reader and this book doesn't fall into the horror category for me at all. There were several aspects that were horrific, but they were not fully explored. I feel that if they had been, it would've resulted in a much more engaging story.
