This was an enjoyable enough book, but only because I went into it having read the blurb AND with the knowledge that this book was written by a man. And holy shit did it read like it was written by a man! 

Honestly, though, the world building in this was pretty impeccable. I’m not a huge urban fantasy guy, but this was incredibly rich in terms of giving you just enough to understand what was going on, but not so much that it was confusing or super difficult to understand. Did I particularly like Jake as a main character? No. But I did like how this took the werewolf mythos, and if you’re a fan of werewolf lit, I’d definitely recommend. I will be reading Tallula Rising, for sure.
