Howl by Shaun David Hutchinson
2.75
dark emotional tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: N/A
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Felt unfinished because it had a lot of unused potential. A lot of plot points weren't explored deeply enough or felt rushed. Like Merritts history is mentioned once and it sounds like it will be important to the plot but then it is never brought up again.
I like that Virgils trauma was shown through the writing by repeating the words from the night of his attack. ("I didn't scream." Etc.) 
The chapters are short which is good, because then you don't get stuck in the middle of an extremely long chapter, but sometimes they felt a bit rushed.
