Thank God It's Free!The story is written in the first person perspective, and though that can usually work for an author, it didn't for this one.  Age is just a number in this book.  Her and her companions in the beginning act more like they're just out of college.  If it weren't for her being a big time PR person and her douche boyfriend being a hot-shot lawyer, I could very much believe that they were a group of dumb kids returning from a camping trip.  To add to this the unusually long life cycle and slow weathering of the werewolves and age does just become a number where no one acts as old as they really are chronologically.  Let's not forget that we are reminded of the same things over and over in different ways.  Yes, I get that John's wife is older-looking but probably younger than John, I don't need the author to mention how much "older looking" she is several times in the next two pages of introduction.As with most free reads lately, there were issues of editing.  Mostly I came across problems with sentence structure and word choice.  Now, I'm sure the author thought it was adding a bit of flair to her work, but I've rarely come across someone that uses "whilst".  I tried to overlook it the first time, but then her best friend uses it whilst they were talking.  The word fit about as well in the book in the multiple times I saw it as it just did when I plugged it into my review.All in all, the voice of the main character annoyed me, and I almost found myself siding with the douchy boyfriend in the beginning.  Almost.  I guess that should have been the first warning sign.  If you think the "bad-guy" may have a point, perhaps one should put the book down...
