Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional funny lighthearted reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

An effective family drama dressed up as a Werewolf horror onnthe surface.

As always with SGJ the story is not the story so whilst yes Werewolves are the primary attention grabbing hook it's so much more than that. 

And irrespective of anything, these are not Twilight Werewolves.
