Review: Original premise, but this one didn't click for me

I do have to say that Collected was different- an OCD werewolf is pretty original - but the neuroses really kept me from connecting with leading lady Nat, an outcast werewolf who collects Christmas decorations.It might have been that in the short space, I didn't really get a chance to see her charm but in a first person POV story I just have to like the character for the story to work for me. The author can definitely do a great character in a short space because I liked Bitter Disenchantment, the other Coveted preview short starring Nat's werewolf friend Aggie who also has issues - but Aggie's constant quest for snacks wasn't as off putting as Nat's germ-phobia. So, where Aggie's story had me looking for more, Nat's didn't even though there is actually a decent little adventure here.So, I may peruse the other reviews and try a sample before I decide if I'll buy Coveted and whether Nat is just not the main character for me or if it's just that the length didn't do her justice.
