Bored Gay Werewolf is a fun spin on the traditional werewolf story and also takes a critical look at toxic masculinity.
Bored Gay Werewolf follows Brian, a relatively new werewolf who is working as a server at a semi-trendy restaurant alongside Nik, the bartender and manager, and Darby, another server. These three folks work together and end most nights drinking a bit too much at a local dive after their shifts. Brian has been floundering after dropping out of college once he became a werewolf, but things seem to take a turn in his life when he meets Tyler.
I enjoyed the book, but wished the characters had a bit more depth to them, particularly Darby and Nik. I'm curious to see where this goes and would definitely pick up the next one as the ending leaves this open for a sequel. I imagine that we'd get more about the other characters' backstory and I hope for more adventures with that trio as I enjoyed their relationships together.
I was provided a free electronic copy of this book from the Atria Books (the publisher) in exchange for an honest review.
