Kristopher "Kris" Ellis is shocked and horrified when a representative of the NFL (National Fellowship of Lycanthropes) shows up on his parents' doorstep, claiming Kris has a lycan mate who wants to meet him. Kris has plans for his life, none of which include an arranged marriage to some werewolf he doesn't know, so he turns the man down flat. When his mate, Rafe, calls him and reveals he's been waiting 200 years for Kris, Kris begins to reconsider. He agrees to travel to Rafe's home for a week so they can get to know each other. Now all Kris has to do is decide whether to uproot his own life for a stranger, or live without the other half of himself.The idea of The Wolfing Way was so cool I couldn't wait to read the book. The concept of a "Great Unveiling" in which the veil between the supernatural and mundane worlds was suddenly ripped away (to the shock of both humans and non-humans) is original and creative. The conflict of The Wolfing Way is interesting as well, with its clash of two worlds and two very different men. Secondary characters, mostly the families of Kris and Rafe, added further interest. Unfortunately, the book didn't quite live up to my high expectations. I wanted to like young, ambitious Kris and protective werewolf Rafe, but I didn't feel like I truly got to know them. A lot of telling goes on over the course of the story, but not much showing. Both Kris and Rafe seemed to waffle a lot in their feelings. The situation they were in was difficult, and I sympathized, but I never really connected with their dilemma. The idea of The Wolfing Way was intriguing enough that I would be willing to give the series another chance when the next book comes out. I'd like to see the series live up to its potential.Reviewed by CassieFor Joyfully Reviewed
