I've never read a TJ Klune book before now, so I didn't go in with any expectations other than "a lot of people like House on the Cerulean Sea". And really, that is probably a benefit for me.

It reads pretty much like your typical male/male romance with some pretty typical werewolf tropes. It did do some subversive work on a couple tropes that made it fun at points, but it really isn't much different than most werewolf fiction, which is pretty tried and true at this point in time.

I think in the end I'm going with 3 stars since the prose is pretty simple and has its fill of drama, it's an easy read, but nothing I really considered special.

The new cover is pretty and a good representation of the book, too.
