3 out of 5 stars

Interesting werewolf twist!

Kevin is your typical teenager dealing with life, school, sports, friends and of course a girl! One day a couple wolves escape the local zoo and Kevin doesn’t think there is any chance he will come by them… until he does and one of them attacks!

Shortly after the attack Kevin starts to experience changes with his body. He becomes more aggressive, more agile, he has so much more strength and all of this contributes to being better in school sports. Kevin has an ideal of what is happening to his body but searches for more answers.

I enjoyed Keelan’s concept on werewolves and the angle he took with how they come to be. I also enjoyed the journal/documentation format Keelan put in place with Kevin’s best friend as well as a doctor Kevin comes into contact with later on in the story, discussing and leaning more about the changes his body’s going through. Keelan was extremely bold with the end of this read, this is where the blood and gore truly came out and Keelan was even willing to kill off some strong characters. This is not easy for an author to do because you don’t want to anger your readers but you also need to keep them on their toes and keep that excitement.

Although in the end I was searching for more of the horror aspect. I wanted more werewolf, more blood, gore… more screams! I found the lead up to this to be very long and the majority of the story was around Kevin and his feelings towards a girl he adores who doesn’t see him in that way and is dating other guys.

I wouldn’t say this book is amazing or mind blowing. It certainly has some neat ideas to it and the ending went out with some true intense crazy! However if this is a glimpse into Keelan’s writing from 4+ years ago than I am certainly intrigued to read more of Keelan’s work knowing he will have grown as an author and had a bit more experience with it all.

Keep up the great work Keelan!
