i wish i could give you a 0, but i cannot, so for that i give you a one.
i got this book for 50 cents and i want my 50 cents back. i did have a great time updating my friends on the wild ride that this book is, and we all laughed at my suffering :-) i was also shocked to find out this book wasn't a teen wolf fanfic that got published, and that it actually got published a month before the first teen wolf episode aired.
i wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless their niche is a very nothing burger book with gay sex every 20 pages that also includes werewolves, but not necessarily gay werewolf sex. i would have given it half a star more if the sex was werewolf sex. but it's just sex. i've read better werewolf stories on AO3. and better werewolf smut. and better gay werewolf smut. overall, only read if it's your exact niche, or if you want to start a bookclub for people that read this book that should probably be a therapy group instead of a bookclub.
also, jack DEFINITELY wanted to

fuck that motorcycle

two deaths

not very graphic though. sex every 20 or so pages. also uses "prick" to describe a penis VERY often.
