This book would not be for everyone but somehow was exactly what I needed to read right now. I have been describing it as part werewolf erotica and part spy thriller but you could also add

tragic romance

to the mix. Despite the graphic content, I think it’s beautifully written which I also appreciated.

When you die and go for judgement God will sit there and infinitely not say anything and you’ll do all the damning work yourself.

I thought the world building was great, the new take on an old monster trope, and the characters were pretty interesting. This is told in first person from the view of the werewolf so you feel the moral ambiguity of wanting to root for this (sometimes awful) person and them brutally murdering people once a month (and then feeling bad about it). It's pretty graphic throughout. But the writing is honestly not good. Maybe it's supposed to be a reflection of the MCs inner dialogue, but eh. It wasn't bad enough to make me quit reading but was cringy at times.
