The Black Wolves of Boston by Wen Spencer
4.0
4 stars
You ever come across a book that you've heard zero hype about and none of your friends have read, but the blurb sounds interesting so you decide to give it a shot and it turns out to be really entertaining and a very pleasant surprise?
This is that book. The one that's probably better because you went into it with no preconceptions and very few expectations. Granted, I'm a sucker for vampires and shifters, so the premise already had me hooked but the story still had to be good and thankfully, this didn't disappoint.
Newbie werewolf Joshua and lonely vampire Decker are the heart of this story. Their unlikely friendship made me laugh more than once, and I simply adored both of them. Decker is especially sweet, opening up his home and his heart to Joshua when he has no one else to turn to, only to find that he needs Joshua almost as much as Joshua needs him.
Both hardworking Eloise and young Prince Seth get their turn in this book too and their stories, while not as funny, are still interesting and engaging. I did rather enjoy Eloise's awkward attempts at trying to 'seduce' Seth's pack mate Cabot, and I hope to see more of both of them in future books.
If shifters, vampires and rogue witches are your thing, I recommend picking up this book. There is really no romance per se (although the bromance is alive and well between Joshua and Decker) but given everything else that happens, you likely won't miss it.
