I am not someone that reads about monsters, vampires and werewolves, but this book has changed that. Once again Tj Klune has made a phenomenal story with gay representation and I love it. I’m reading his collection backwards and I can see the upward progression of writing. He makes all of his characters so likable and yet so different in each of his novels and I will never get enough.
His writing of Ox really shows you the inside of this mind and how he thinks and grows. The reputation of what his father said to him and how he eventually accepts that crying is okay and doesn’t make you less of a man. There is a big twist I won’t say, but I did not expect it at all. It made Ox’s character even more interesting and the novel more intriguing.
There are a few reasons I didn’t give this book 5 stars, but the main reason is the age gap between Ox and Joe. It wasn’t a problem later in the book when Joe was more of an adult, but near the beginning when Joe was 17 made me uncomfortable. It didn’t go anywhere it shouldn't have when he was a minor, but it was walking a very thin line for me. I liked that he put the years between so Joe could grow up a bit, but it did put a bad taste in my mouth.
If you are a werewolf junkie this book and I’m sure the entire series, is for you! Amazing writing as usual and I will be continuing the series :)
