I was between writing or not writing a review on this book. but after being wholy unaffected by the bad reviews, I decided it was absolutely necessary to get my thoughts out.

The book is hard to get into, the characters are monsters and most of the time I'm so confused I feel like i’m just along for a ride….It was amazing. I felt wholly immersed in story, inside jakes head and the tension he feels. The writing is complicated (some say unnecessarily so) but it is so gorgeous. The writing is poetry-prose and uses the (kind of) regular events of the book to make profound observations on the human condition. its a book about a werewolf who is so very human ❤️

The premise and first few chapters were good but the sexual writings were so cringe! I get it, he’s a werewolf and he’s horny but jeez we do not need to hear about his c*c/m every two sentences.

the story itself was actually decent but i couldnt deal with every female character being introduced by what her boobs look like. after like the third time it was insufferable

I thought the world building was great, the new take on an old monster trope, and the characters were pretty interesting. This is told in first person from the view of the werewolf so you feel the moral ambiguity of wanting to root for this (sometimes awful) person and them brutally murdering people once a month (and then feeling bad about it). It's pretty graphic throughout. But the writing is honestly not good. Maybe it's supposed to be a reflection of the MCs inner dialogue, but eh. It wasn't bad enough to make me quit reading but was cringy at times.

I really should have stopped reading at the 'I'm not a misogynist, but..." near the beginning of the book.
All you need to know to determine if this book isn't for you is that at one point, the main character compares his partner's (NSFW)
