The story, centered on a werewolf, follows traditional horror werewolf rules and delivers plenty of gore and tension. The narrative also delves into the complexities of a disintegrating marriage, weaving together mundane and supernatural issues.
While the werewolf elements are particularly captivating, the thorough character development and foreshadowing contribute significantly to the story's impact. The inclusion of normal wolves alongside werewolves is a commendable choice, adding depth to the narrative.
Although "Big Bad" falls short in fully exploring some plot lines and aspects which prevented the story from fulfilling its full potential, it remains a compelling and page-turning read.

I am not sure how I feel after reading this. I felt sorry for Sam; I won't lie. And I could not stand Rachel by the end; she seemed a tad uncaring, and her story about Mason seemed a bit untrustworthy. Oh, and that Odie is one of the most irritating characters.
However...
Big Bad was an enjoyable story; it would have made a goretastic full-length novel!
